We did our grocery shopping tonight and everywhere we went...pumpkin was all over. I love fall and the pumpkins make it so comforting. There were pumpkins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin pudding, pumpkin ale and the list goes on.

What are your favorite pumpkin things? Favorite pumpkin recipes?

Since nobody seems to care about pumpkins but me...

jasmine79,
We tried the recipe you posted for Double Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake. Although we forgot to soften the cream cheese and therefore we got lumps...it still turned out very good. Thanks for posting the recipe.

Bought a big cheese pumpkin over the weekend and made Ancho Chile and Pumkin soup and pumpkin veggie lasagna. Have enough saved for a nice batch of pumpkin creme brulee....caaaan't wait.

Pumpkin spice lattes are back at Starbucks and man, do I love pumpkin butter from Cracker Barrell.

I do not like those Pumpkin Spice lattes...I got one not too long ago and drank half of it...too sweet and it was orange after sitting for a couple of hours.

Of all places, I tried to order the Maple Latte at the airport in Manchester, NH last week. Out of Maple Syrup.

Please.
