Homemade Pumpkin Pudding - The Perfect Fall Snack!
Homemade Pumpkin Pudding
I was going to wait until the first official day of Fall before I started with the pumpkin things, but even Starbucks has already brought out the Pumpkin Spice Latte, so I thought...why not? Pumpkin is such a healthy, delicious creation, with or without the spice, and this recipe is light on the spice but heavy on the flavor and goodness. It is a great snack for everyone and can be served with just about anything. This is not your traditional pumpkin pie filling...this is pumpkin pudding!
