We adore the seasons because everyone gives us some of their favorite fruits.

In the fall, we receive pumpkins along with numerous recipes that assist us in preparing delicious sweet and savory dishes.

We adore making sweet dishes with pumpkin, but we also love making cream soup and creamy risotto with it.

Pumpkin cakes are a true fall treat for the body and mind.

They are juicy, tasty, and a little nutty. We give a recipe for pumpkin pancakes to people who don’t know how to use an oven.
