It is that time of the year, pumpkins are everywhere. In the past I was not a fan of everything pumpkin but each year I am learning to embrace pumpkin in my own special way and enjoy the taste of real pumpkin in my favorite fall recipes. This recipe is great for fall and the best part about it, is many of the ingredients are pantry staples. Try making these on the weekend, store in an airtight container and enjoy them all week long. If you like walnuts try adding a little or a lot.
