Foodie Friday: Pumpkin, Spice & Everything Nice


From a not so basic pumpkin pie to pumpkin pancakes, there is probably no other food than pumpkin that just says Autumn. It is a multi use veggie that we can carve or cook. It's good for us too. Packed with vitamins, anti-oxidants and fiber, there is nothing not to love about this Fall favorite.
