It’s that time of year again! Not only are the leaves starting to change colors and our fave sweaters coming out of storage — it’s also the time when all of our regular ol’ food switches over into PUMPKIN EVERYTHING. There are pumpkin salad dressings, pumpkin coffee creamers, and, if you look really hard (well, maybe not so hard) to find them, you’ll even see pumpkin spice cough drops. If you’re a pass on these more… let’s just call them adventurous pumpkin-flavored concoctions, don’t worry. We’ve got a few pumpkin-everything recipes that you — and your kiddos — will adore.
