Yesterday morning in Pittsburgh felt way more like late October than mid-September – it was chilly, drizzling and grey. And last night brought our first frost warning of the year, yikes! I love this kind of weather, but the quick turn took me by surprise. While thinking about some new recipes, I immediately decided that [...]

Pumpkin pie is a quintessential Thanksgiving dessert. It’s rare to find a house that doesn’t serve at least one, if for no other reason than “it’s Thanksgiving, you have to have pumpkin pie”. I am a huge pie person (and an even bigger pie crust person), but truth be told, pumpkin has never been one [...]

The pumpkin train just keeps on rollin’… Last week my mom told me that she was having a get together with some friends and wanted to have a nice dessert to serve, and could I make something for her. Like the good daughter I am, I said sure. She said she wanted something fall-ish and [...]

Few things go together as well as pumpkin and cream cheese. Sure you have your peanut butter and jelly and peanut butter and chocolate (hmm, I’m not obsessed with peanut butter, am I?), but warm and spicy pumpkin baked goods paired with the sweet cream cheese is a match made in fall-baking heaven. Add to [...]

Or pumpkin blondies. Or pumpkin brownies. Truthfully, my intent was for these to be pumpkin blondies without a leavening agent so that they would have more of a dense, brownie texture. However, upon eating one, I really think that the flavor and texture is most similar to a pumpkin pie, minus the crust and with [...]

Ahh, October. The month of the pumpkin. Pumpkin carving, pumpkin seed roasting, the pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin-shaped Reese’s cups (what? did I say that?)… seemingly all things pumpkin. Except, of course, for pumpkin pie – that doesn’t show up until Thanksgiving. I’ve gotten the sense that the pumpkin surge has started even earlier this year [...]
