Pumpkin Pie? Lighten Up!

And so, the 2010 Pie Season begins in earnest. Have you been training?

If you’re already looking for ways to pace yourself over the next four weeks or so, consider this Chocolate-Pumpkin Tart recipe from Everyday Food. While it’s not exactly, uh, diet food, it is a more streamlined version of the traditional pumpkin pie and the combination of creamy pumpkin custard and chocolate cookie crust is sublime.

Just imagine how far I’ll go to rationalize my craving for desserts by the time Christmas rolls around!
