    YUM that ice cream looks delish.

    I improvised some pumpkin snack for today... just 1/3 cup of part skim ricotta with pumpkin pie spice, a tablespoon of pumpkin and some stevia. Turned out pretty delicious for how easy it was, and only 150 calories with 10g of protein. Will make again. Maybe for breakfast tomorrow... maybe between two slices of French toast made with the Pepperidge Farm pumpkin spice swirl bread...

    So we've heard from Jen that it is marvelous -- what say you, Marvybells? Pumpkin pie is one of the desserts I enjoy so very curious about this gelato!

    sorry, it took me a while to figure out how to find the thread....

    well i have to say that i prefer the caramel apple pie flavor (which is perhaps my favorite non-chocolate flavor) but the pumpkin pie is good. i'm definitely glad i picked some up. and i'm not even sorry that it wasn't on sale. :)

    Thanks!

    I tried the caramel apple pie flavor the other night and really liked it! There were a few spots with a concentration of cinnamon sufficient to make my mouth feel like I was eating pop rocks, but all in all I didn't find it too sweet and enjoyed the flavor!

    pop rocks? really? i never experienced that and have bought several pints of it. I like a lot of cinnamon though. i guess it comes down to personal preference.

    I have this bookmarked (starred) but when I go to the bookmarks it isn't showing up. Anyone know an easier way to get to this thread and other group threads short of going to the Groups page, finding our group, and then looking through the discussions?

    No such thing as too much pie crust.

    I found a workaround and that's to "Search" and then put your username under "Author". Not exactly easy, but at least I can find my topics I replied to.

    BUT, it doesn't show by recently replied to or anything like that.... just the topics you've replied to.

    EDIT: I also just came across http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/profile/ click on Replies and that gives you a list too. I haven't tested it to see if it updates with new posts though... and I suspect it probably won't.

    Day 1: Candy Corn
    Day 2: Fall colored M&Ms
    Day 3: Pumpkin Spice Hershey's Kisses
    Day 4: Fresh made Bierwagen's apple fritters with cider cinnamon glaze, washed down with the cider that's only available during October. One of the fall flavors I look forward to the most every year!
    Day 5: Entenmann's (sp?) classic cake style pumpkin doughnut. Also, butternut squash risotto made with turkey stock I had in the freezer from last year. Didn't use the right kind of rice (just used what was on hand) and it was my first attempt, but I'm in love; it was delicious.
    Day 6: 1/2 each pumpkin chocolate chip and cranberry orange muffins. $6 for a dozen @ Safeway/Vons. They have fantastic seasonal baked goods there for really cheap. Apple turnovers, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, spice cookies and muffins...yum.
    Day 7: Repeat days 5 and 6
    Day 8: Repeat day 7 and add in cider from day 4

    They were actually very good. I ended up putting 3 chopped apples in mine... cause you can never have too many apples. I baked mine in a 9x9 pan and ended up with 12 nice sized pieces. With my measurements (cause I changed the sugar/flour a tad, but still weighed them) it ended up 113 calories per piece... which is pretty good. I would definitely make again.

    Allrecipes lists them at 143 calories... I'd say that's pretty accurate. Mine came out at 113 calories and 12 pieces in the pan... I used a bit less sugar and more apples. So yeah... I'd say no matter what you're going to be under 150 calories.

    That cupcake looks awesome MrM.

    I'm going to be out of town on my birthday so I guess I'm going to try to find a bakery to get myself a cupcake. Because I'm not going to try to bake in a hotel even though it has a kitchenette and claims you can. That way frustration lies.

    So I thought it was supposed to be easier to post a pic now, I thought I read you just had to copy and paste the URL, but do you still have to do [img][/img]? That's the only way I could get that to work.

    Oooooh, the Pumpkin spice cookie looks interesting!

    I totally feel you on the baking. Sometimes it's better/more convenient to let others do the hard work and all you do is turn the oven on. lol
