With fall nearing an end, I ask you all … Is there really such a thing as having enough pumpkin recipes in this world?
I. think. not.
Pumpkin isn’t only seasonal, it can be a key ingredient to giving some of your guilty pleasure foods a healthy make over. My favorite cook books are my Hungry Girl cook books and she uses pumpkin for a TON of recipe make overs.
Tonight after dinner I made super delicious caramel pumpkin cupcakes that took 25 minutes tops and was ridiculously delicious.
It reminded me Amy’s AMAZING Fall Harvest Cupcakes… only guiltless!
I had to share.
