    Pumpkin recipes in bowls and pans.

    It’s fall, y’all! Bring on the big comfy sweaters, cute boots, cozy scarves, golden leaves, and ALL THINGS PUMPKIN PLEASE. Fall food is truly the best food, and it’s mostly all thanks that tasty little orange vegetable. Err, fruit? Who knows.

    It can be sweet or savory, dressed up in a pasta or baked in a muffin, blended into a soup or baked into crunchy granola. It seriously does it all. Here are a few of our favorite pumpkin recipes we’re making this fall – and every fall, TBH.
