Is it just me or does the start of fall automatically turn into MAKE ALL THE THINGS PUMPKIN?! Now, don't get me wrong, I love pumpkin. I seriously think pumpkin pie should be an all season dish. But c'mon gals, there are a ton of other delicious fall flavours to be discovered! Like cinnamon or nutmeg, and apple! These tasty ingredients don't get enough attention. Here's the take away: there's more to fall than just pumpkin spice lattes at Starbucks.
