With Thanksgiving almost upon us, the holiday food frenzy is about to kick-off in a big way! I know I can’t resist having a piece of pumpkin pie at my family get-togethers. However, I know how unhealthy some desserts can be! So this year, I volunteered to make the pumpkin pie. I plan on making this better-for-you version of the original.
If you’re looking for a healthier dessert option this year, why don’t you try the following recipe? Let me know what you think!
