Someone once told me that your favorite season is the one that you were born during.  I've got to admit, I'm beginning to wonder if that old adage is true.  I'm a late September baby and I have to admit that I love all things Fall.  I enjoy all of the seasons, but I have teensy issues with the other three.  At some point during Winter, I get pretty sick of it being cold.  It usually happens right after Christmas.  Once the holidays are done, I'm over it.  Spring brings beautiful flowers...and serious seasonal allergies.  Summer is amazing.  The Cubs are still in it, we swim at grandpa's pool and eat his bar b que, but then it gets a little too hot and I'm grumpy. 

 Autumn, though, just makes me giddy.  I love the colors, the mild temperatures, and all of the pumpkins and apples.  In fact,  we'll be visiting an apple orchard in the next couple of weeks, so watch for that post!  Today, I found this recipe on pinterest and I couldn't wait to get my early autumn pumpkin fix.

Doesn't the happy little "smile" of cream cheese bring a grin to your face?  It sure does for me!  The huge bonus for this one is that it's reduced calorie.  Woo Hoo!  

  So let the Autumn festivities begin.  Check out the leaves changing.  Sip some hot apple cider.  Snuggle up with someone you love and enjoy the changing of the seasons.  If Fall isn't your favorite, don't worry.  Like all things, it's over before you know it!
