Pumpkin Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting



















Pumpkin bars are a treat you can serve throughout the holiday season. From Halloween to the Super Bowl, these quick fix treats are always a delight. Adults love them, kids ask for them, and guests will want the recipe.

Originally from my own Grandmother's kitchen, this version is lightly spicy and has low carb options. Switch out Splenda for sugar, coconut or almond flour for white flour and you're good to go, low carb wise.

Reno's thunderstorms are predicted to let up over the weekend. Time to get outside and enjoy the moderate autumn weather. Why not take a short trip to nearby Pyramid lake for a hike. Outdoor fitness fun in the wilds of Nevada is just a few miles away from downtown Reno.

About 30 minutes from Reno, Pyramid Lake also offers outdoor activities like boating, fishing, and swimming in warmer months. While nearby Lake Tahoe is known for its famous sparkling blue waters, Pyramid Lake is also stunning, warmer and more suited to swim in.
