Cooking Clues
For easier handling of dinner rolls, keep them refrigerated until ready to open and unroll.
Use leftover filling to flavor pancake or waffle batter; or mix with 1 cup softened cream cheese, 1 cup sour cream and 3/4 cup powdered sugar and serve as a dip with apple slices and gingersnaps.

Dietitian’s tip:
> Pumpkin is filled with fiber, potassium and vitamin C, all of which support heart health. Stock up on canned pumpkin this season and add it to almost any dish for a nutritional boost. Some ideas include stirring into oatmeal, mixing with applesauce, spreading on top of a bagel with a drizzle of maple syrup, mashing along with white potatoes or mixing into a smoothie.
