What can you use in a diet instead of pumpkin?

I am thinking you are Australian for some reason. In the Western countries pumpkin is generally used for pumpkin pie, pudding or pumpkin soup. Squash and yams would be a good choice in place of pumpkin. There are many varieties of squash. Acorn Squash: Cut in half. Turn meaty side down and steam until tender. Take out of oven and place on rack until cool and all moisture is gone. Mix butter, brown sugar, small pieces of apples, a few raisins, salt and pepper and fill cavities. You can keep this up to 3 - 4 days in your fridge and serve to guests. Yams are excellent for hormone replacement (estrogen.) These are best steamed and can be eaten in chunks, or, mashed, put in a dish, covered with small marshmallows or a little brown sugar and butter and reheated. Yams will stay in the fridge for quite sometime.
