3 Pumpkin Recipes That Prove Fall Is the Best Season of the Year
When most people think about fall they think about jeans, sweaters, boots, Halloween, leaves changing color, and cooler temperatures. While I also think of these aspects of fall, the first thing that pops into my mind are pumpkins. Basically, I spend my fall attempting to prove my theory that one can live solely on pumpkin recipes.
During the fall, I am constantly looking for anything with pumpkin in it and if I can’t find it I’ll make it. One of my favorite childhood memories is baking anything with pumpkin in it with my grandmother. She is what I like to call the pumpkin queen. Here are three fabulous pumpkin recipes that she passed down to me that should be a staple in everyone’s fall diet.
