It's FALL and it's PUMPKIN season!

Ahhhhh, so. fall is here! I woke up this morning and I went outside to walk the dogs and shit, It was cold. AND I LOVE IT!!!! :) This means time for all things pumpkin.... Pumpkin spiced latte, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin cheesecakes, you name it, it can have pumpkin in it - and luckily, I've found if you make your pumpkin items a little bit more tweaked, you could have some healthy pumpkin items!!!!
