I'm not holding back on the pumpkin recipes this year! You're going to thank me for this one. Not only is it seasonal, simple, and delicious, but it's also packed with protein so you have nothing to feel guilty about.

I love coming up with real-food alternatives for popular treats. There once was a day when my idea of a perfect afternoon was a Starbucks pumpkin scone AND a pumpkin spiced latte - talk about a boat load of sugar! Now I feel like I can still participate in the flavors of the season without compromising my health goals.
