Trim-It-Down Tuesday: Pumpkin Pie Sundae

As the days and nights get cooler, I'm sure I'm not alone as I gravitate towards those traditional "comfort" foods. Pumpkin pie is definitely a seasonal food for me - I really only have a want for it at this time of year. Unlike Jenny (who I totally stole this recipe from!), I don't have an abiding love for the pumpkin pie. But at this time of year, it just sounds and tastes delicious to me. So, I was really excited when I saw this recipe. You see, I DO have abiding love for sundaes! I can get 2 fixes in one here, and not spoil my diet in the process.

I present to you, the Pumpkin Pie Sundae:

Mmm I can't wait for pumpkin ice cream to start making it's rounds. With a little whipped cream on top, it's just like cold pumpkin pie.

Maybe til then I'll have to try the pumpkin pie sundae.

Yumm ... I shouldn't try it thought. Trying it would mean having ice cream in the house. And then I would eat all the ice cream. And that would be bad!
