Loaf cakes, pancakes, drinks and a hearty risotto using pumpkin for maximal fall coziness.
At a certain point, you stop trying to be hip and trendy and you embrace the basic things in life. And during the fall, that’s anything pumpkin or “pumpkin spice"-related. I fully admit that I love everything about the flavor and all the coziness it conjures.
And although I draw the line at certain PS-flavored things — like cereals, or hummus — I’ll light a pumpkin candle on a cool night while nestling on the couch to eat a slice of pumpkin spice cake. When my partner and I first started dating, we even bonded over our love of pumpkin beer and pumpkin cream cheese. They’re silly and kitschy and, more often than not these days, exactly what we need to add a bit of levity to our lives.that hits all the fall pleasure points, but I didn’t stop there.
