About the Recipe
If you're looking for ways to make the holidays a little less indulgent but still flavorful (and nutritious), try this reimagined pumpkin pie. The cottage cheese provides a protein hit and the canned pumpkin brings along good stuff like potassium and fibre. This dessert is quick and easy, and better yet, it isn't loaded with sugar and fat! You don't have to sacrifice the honest-to-goodness pumpkin pie on Christmas Day, but this makes a great addition to a holiday potluck as a less 'naughty' contribution this December ; )
