Yummy Pumpkins!
Pumpkin flavored anything! I hafta tell ya, I love a good pumpkin pie. It won't win you the top spot just for baking me one but I'll sure appreciate it! That goes for Beverages, cookies, Muffins or even something savory! Really, anything goes. As long as I can eat it, this is where you should put it.
