I have to admit that I’m a bit crazy in love with the cold brisk fall days, but I have really loved summer this year more than previous years! Also, I think one of the best ways to transition into fall is to use all those yummy fall veggies and fruits God has so awesomely created in His good pleasure and bake them/cook them into yummy goodies like this.
- Thanks so much, Em!! Hope you’re enjoying your trip abroad!!
What a great idea for a healthy pumpkin treat!
- Thank you!! Enjoy!!
I am a hard core summer lover, i do love everything pumpkin though. If I could just get all the pumkin goods and benefits but keep the summer weather, guess I should move somewhere warm year around. Anyway these look super good.
