Pumpkin Fluff Recipe

What's the best things about fall [besides the cool weather, beautiful colored leaves, jack-o-lanterns, mums, apple ciders, crisp breezes. . .]?  Okay, there's a lot to love about fall.  A LOT.  Especially pumpkins!  They're great to look at and they're great to eat!

Pumpkin muffins, pumpkin breads, pumpkin cupcakes, pumpkin lattes, pumpkin pies, pumpkin cheesecakes.  Yum.  Unfortunately, those delicious pumpkin dishes don't always help your skinny jeans fit the way you'd like.  So here you go: a pumpkin treat that won't expand your waistline and leave you feeling guilty.  Plus, you can dip apples in it!

(recipe makes about 6 cups)
Ingredients:
1 - 16 oz. can of pumpkin
1 - 6 oz. container of fat free vanilla Greek yogurt
1 - 8 oz. container of fat free Cool Whip
3/4 cup of brown sugar
1 tsp. of vanilla
1/8 tsp. cinnamon
1/8 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
sprinkle of all spice

Directions:
Mix cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and all spice into pumpkin.  Stir in the brown sugar until completely blended.  Add the vanilla. Stir until blended.  Mix in yogurt.  Stir in cool whip until completely blended.  Refrigerate until serving.  

Serve with apple slices, bananas, or graham crackers.  Mmmmm!
