Sweet Potato and Quinoa Salad

Pumpkin Dip

Looking for something to dip your apples, pears, or gingersnaps in?  This pumpkin dip is the answer.  So yummy!  Don't look too closely at my picture.  I used fat-free cream cheese and didn't let it soften enough, so the cream cheese isn't as creamy as I could have liked.  It still tastes delicious though. Pumpkin Dip recipe from Cindy Powell 6 oz. cream cheese, softened 1/2 c. brown sugar 1/2 c. canned pumpkin 2 tsp. maple syrup 1/2 tsp. cinnamon Cream cream cheese and brown sugar together.  Add pumpkin, maple syrup and cinnamon.  Mix well.  Chill.  Serve with sliced apples, pears or gingersnaps.
