I know it's been awhile since I last posted, but we are in the middle of the most wonderful time of year...Pumpkin Season! Pumpkin Season is a brief moment where the taste of pumpkin is all around, and I am in heaven. So many delicious treats to eat, which is unkind to the waisteline, but tottantalizing to the tastebuds. It comes but once a year. Sometimes starting as early as mid-September and usually lasting through November if you're lucky.
One of my favorite pumpkin products is a pumpkin pie milkshake. Ruby's has a delicious one. It's pumpkin pie in liquid form, and it is amazing! Jack-in-the-Box also has one that is pretty good one as well, and it's cheaper. Ask for oreos to be added for a tasty twist on the classic seasonal milkshake.
If you are a fan of pumpkin bread products, try baking your own pumpkin bread. It's fairly simple, and a great breakfast accompanied by coffee (pumpkin creamer anyone?). Mimi's restaurant also has some delicious breakfast items this time of year if you aren't the baking type. If you have a sweet tooth, try the pumpkin pancakes. It's covered in cinnamon apples and whipped cream. They also have the most amazing pumpkin muffins (my personal favorite item of the season that I look forward to every year).
If you've never had a pumpkin bagel, then definitely get your hands on one. You can even get pumpkin cream cheese!
And then of course there's all the dessert options. Though they are available all year at Ralphs, pumpkin chocolate cookies are to die for. They are soft and fluffy and wonderful. Pumpkin cheesecake, pumpkin ice cream, and obviously pumpkin pie (surprisingly my least favorite). Pumpkin frozen yogurt is also a wonderful dessert. Add graham cracker dust, oreos, and whipped cream for extra goodness!
I'm sure there are many other incredible pumpkin products out there. If you come across anything, please share. Oh and go get your pumpkin on!
