It's Fall - time for another fetish!


PUMPKIN!! Yep, I'm now officially "so over" zucchini and on to my favorite thing about fall - yummy pumpkin.

If you've never read The World According to Eggface, Click here right now!! Anyway, inspired by her mini-donuts, I made some pumpkin donuts. These are very moist and delicious. I rolled mine in splenda and cinnamon when I was done with them. (I cheated and moistened them a bit with some water before rolling, it made more good stuff stick)


Here's the recipe with the nutritional information from sparkpeople.com.
