Well it is now the middle of October, and what more can we blog about, but more pumpkin. You really need to take advantage of all this pumpkin! I mean, you can buy pie pumpkins at your local supermarket for a really great price. You could always do what I plan on doing and just buy as many as you can, to make as much puree as you can fit in your freezer, to freeze for the entire year =). It sure beats canned pumpkin. Well this recipe is inspired by a recipe I found online: pumpkin, cheesecake bites. Well, Zach isn’t a huge fan of cheesecake (I know I know, it’s weird), so I wanted to make a “pumpkiny” dessert that didn’t involved a lot of cream cheese. I decided to make your standard pumpkin cupcake, with a nutella spread and a homemade cream cheese icing. This recipe is easy, fun, and so fall! I hope you enjoy it!
