Not only does this website offer all kinds of great recipes with beautiful step-by-step photographs, they are featuring (put your seatbelts on, fellow pumpkin-obsessed wild women), “SKINNY PUMPKIN MADNESS”!!!! Whew -- I’m all verklempt! Okay, I’m back now… From pumpkin lattes, to pumpkin butter, to what I perceive as to die for pumpkin cupcakes with pumpkin spiced cream cheese frosting (at only 121.1 calories each with 2.8 grams of fat), I am doing the happy dance in my own little heavenly pumpkin patch brain!!!
Be sure to visit Gina’s recipes at www.skinnytaste.com, and comment here if you try any of her recipes. I can guarantee you I’ll be baking those cupcakes this weekend – for quality control purposes only, of course. The sacrifices I make for my readers….
Passionate pumpkin blessings to all!
