STEEL-CUT OATMEAL WITH FRUIT

LOVIN’ PUMPKIN PIE
Makes 1 pie
I love pumpkin pie, but pumpkins are not available year round. This recipe uses shredded carrots instead of pumpkin, so you can enjoy it in any season. You’ll be surprised how much you actually associate the pumpkin pie spices with this favorite rather than the pumpkin itself.

BANANA BOATS
MAKES 1 EDIBLE MARITIME SCULPTURE

LAYERED GREEN BANANA SMOOTHIE
MAKES 2 DRINKS
Layering smoothies takes a few seconds longer than mixing everything together, but the visual and taste effect of having two flavors in one serving is worth it.
MANGO-NANA PUDDING
Makes about 3 cups or other 6 servings
This simple dessert can be fancied up if you serve it parfait style: layer the pudding with alternating rows of blueberries and raspberries in glasses.
