CREAMY MASHED PUMPKIN
I found this recipe from Kraft and the family loved this version of mashed pumpkin for a change. Potatoes are also wonderful done this way. It depends on the moisture in the cooked pumpkin as to how much cream you may need and of course I do prefer the good "ol" aussie Kraft cheddar for this recipe! :-)

MASHED PUMPKIN WITH BAY LEAVES
Sometimes I make this buttery pumpkin mash as a side dish instead of mashed potatoes. You can use any kind of winter squash or pumpkin.

MASHED PUMPKIN
This dish is often eaten with roti ( a local flatbread) but it will make a great vegetable side dish to any meal. What West Indians call pumpkin is actually calabaza squash.
