I know it's not Thanksgiving yet, but I can make a Pumpkin Cake if I wanna... and I did wanna...so I did! :0 Then I decided I wanna add some Cream Cheese Frosting and I also wanna add some Walnuts...just cause! ... so I did. I also wanna make it healthy... so I did. For an 1/8th of the cake it is only 175 calories, 7.3g carbs and 12.2g protein. So don't wait for the Holiday's, Pumpkin is good eats all year round... aren't you glad I didn't use the word "wanna" again...I didn't wanna...so I didn't. ;)
