Pumpkin-Yogurt Fluff – and – other Pumpkin recipes re-visited!

It’s October and pumpkin decorations are everywhere. I love
a good Jack-o’-Lantern, but, personally, I’d rather eat pumpkin than decorate with it.

That’s why this post will revisit some of The Armenian
Kitchen
’s pumpkin recipes as well as share
a new favorite dessert, Pumpkin-Yogurt Fluff. It’s easy to prepare, tasty and is sure to please. Think of this as a lighter, fluffier version of pumpkin pie without the crust!
