Since I have yet to cook much in the last week, today I bring you Kelly from Eat Yourself Skinny. Kelly has a great site offering tasty healthy recipes. Plus gorgeous pictures! Make sure you go visit her and tell her I said Hi!
Hello there lovely readers of Dinners, Dishes and Desserts! I’m Kelly from Eat Yourself Skinny and I’m super excited to be guest posting today! I absolutely adore Erin {as I’m sure you all do as well!} so when she asked me to share a recipe on her blog while she was moving this week, I was completely thrilled!
There is just something about Fall that makes me LOVE this season more than any other. Maybe it’s the cute scarves and boots we get to get all bundled up in or the pretty foliage that starts to poke its way out once the summer heat has faded away, but either way my favorite part about Fall would have to be the abundance of pumpkin recipes! Whether I’m starting my morning off with a pumpkin spiced latte from Starbucks or enjoying a delicious pumpkin muffin for breakfast, this Fall favorite can add flare to any old recipe. So of course I just had to do something fun and festive for Erin!
I chose to make delicious Pumpkin Pie Cups which are perfect healthy alternatives to your typical slice of indulgent pumpkin pie. Best part is you can have one whole bowl for only 172 calories and ZERO grams of fat!
Yes I said zero.
Doesn’t get much better than that and I promise you they taste delicious. I loved the slight crunch the cornflakes added to this dish and the combination of pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg was amazing! Make these for guests at your next dinner party or throw this together when you want to indulge in something sweet without having the unnecessary calories. It’s so quick and easy!
Note to self however, when taking pictures…make sure to strategically place the spoons so you can’t see yourself AND your camera in them. FAIL. Oh well! Hope you enjoy these treats as much as I did!

ReplyDeleteErin- Glad your belongings made it to you. Must be a huge relief.
ReplyDeleteKelly- You are a skinny rock star! I cannot get over this having 0 fat. Wowsers, pretty and skinny. Winning combo. Both you and your recipe. xx
Erin, these sound delicious. I always love to visit here. I never leave empty handed. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary
ReplyDeleteHow freakin cute is Kelly? I would have never been able to come up with a pumpkin recipe that has 0 grams of fat (who am I kidding, I wouldn't have been able to come up with any recipes that have no fat!!!). I saw these the other day and was in awe at how beautiful they were!
ReplyDeleteIm glad your finally unpacking and hope everything continues to move along for you!
Terrific recipe! Erin, we miss you like crazy, but you have some terrific blogger friends this week and I've enjoyed them immensely!
