Tips

Catherine H. Shares her Recipe "I have always baked a lot of cookies, and my favorite recipes contained oatmeal, coconut, dried fruits or nuts, which did not fit my low-residue diet restrictions. This recipe and the following one are low residue."
Low fiber; low residue
A Note FROM Dr. Ghosh Pumpkin is rich in beta-carotene, a form of vitamin A. Studies show that vitamin A, an antioxidant vitamin, may reduce the risk of certain types of cancer.
