Guys. Let’s make this if for no other reason than so our homes can smell like a candle store as Pinch of Yum suggests!

2. Pumpkin Spice Weight Watchers Muffins

I plan to give this recipe from Drugstore Divas a try since (a) any weight watchers friendly recipe is a friend of mine since a lower fat/high fiber diet is still my jam and (b) like moi, the creator of the recipe is not a fan of pumpkin and reassures these will still please.

The tip to bake them as mini muffins so we eat less is a smart reminder!
