About


This weekend I had leftover pumpkin I had used in another recipe, so I referred to one of my favorite low cal cookbooks - Dr. Cookie Cookbook (you can read my review here).
I love the recipes in this book because most of them can be modified to my taste. Low cal, low fat, and the recipes really are great.
This recipe didn't disappoint me. I replaced 1/2 cup refined flour with whole wheat flour, but other than that, I wouldn't change a thing. The recipe even had my favorite nutmeg!
