Good Morning and Happy Sunday!

I usually don’t post on Sunday’s but today IS National Pumpkin Day!  How could I possibly pass up the opportunity to celebrate one my all time favorite flavors with all of you?!?!

I couldn’t.

I love it so much- as summer starts to fade into fall and the days get cooler; I begin craving the smell of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg all wrapped up in something pumpkin… it’s just like autumn in a pan.  This recipe is a ‘skinny’ version but I promise you won’t miss a single calorie, it is mouth-watering!

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Loaf is a long-time family favorite of ours~ we hope you’ll LOVE it too  🙂
