Is it too late in the season for pumpkin recipes? Not yet, perhaps January 2.
Every year John becomes pumpkin obsessed…all things pumpkin (except lattes). So I knew that creating a healthier version of a pumpkin baked good was in order.
It has been a bit of a struggle, we have a tiny kitchen with minimal kitchen paraphernalia..we don’t even have a blender! So I’ve been getting a little inventive in the kitchen using your most basic utensils. (think bowl, spoon, fork, spatula)

New Year Countdown
There are 10 days until Christmas & 16 days until 2017. This is the time of year we all look forward to–family gatherings, good food and vacations, but somehow we always manage to find something to stress about. Worry about getting the right gifts for everyone, cooking the perfect meal, making sure our home is clean enough for great Aunt Gertrude that you see once every other year.
While it’s important to give your best at everything (including cleaning the house) & to provide the most for our friends & family it’s equally important to make time to nurture yourself & think about what you want moving forward.
