It has been a gorgeous fall. We had a wicked hot dry summer so no one knew what to expect with the fall and yet it’s been gorgeous. That is all quickly coming to a close though as we’ve had a few days of windy weather followed by rain and now snow. Most of the pretty leaves are gone and now we are left to clean them up.

Good news though. Pumpkin is still very much in vogue and I can make fallish things to my hearts’ content. Like …

• pumpkin french toast casserole
• pumpkin cheesecake shooters
• sweet potato pudding
• fall sangria
• traditional hasselback potatoes (with pecans, apples, cinnamon)
• butternut squash gnocchi
  
• chicken pot pie soup
• butternut squash casserole
• sweet potato souffle
• pumpkin butterscotch cake
• roasted butternut squash fettuccine 
• sweet potato tart
• pumpkin and brown butter blondies

I could go on. But instead, I think I’ll make a grocery list. Because I clearly do not have enough to do.
