In honor of the pumpkin fun, here's my contribution. This is NOT weight watchers fare, but it is O, so good! This recipe came to me from my Daughter-in-law's mother Sue in '09. i've made it for family dinners for the holidays and for feeds @ my Husband's work, there were no leftovers =) My Dear Husband likes it w/vanilla ice cream, come to think of it he likes everything w/vanilla ice cream =)
