Does it seem like I’m obsessed with pumpkin? I’m trying to be positive about the fact that it’s Fall! So, one thing I do enjoy about Fall is all the spices and earthy foods.

Pumpkin screams Fall and when I asked you guys on my Facebook Page what you loved to cook with in Fall so many of you said pumpkin! So, this week with pumpkin I made:

Healthy Chocolate Cake
Secret Pumpkin Bake
Pumpkin Pie Protein Bars

Today I’m adding one of my favourite protein bar recipes to the list. This is a full nutrition bar. It is simple, hearty, sweet and satisfying. Enjoy this Fall treat this week.
