Three Yummy and Simple Pumpkin Desserts to Make this Weekend
Do you have a favorite season of the year? Mine happens to be Fall. Thank goodness it’s finally arrived. It may not quite feel like it with temperatures still rising into the upper 80’s, but rest assured it’s beginning to cool off.
One of my favorite things about Fall is all of the deliciousness that can be found when cooking with fall flavors like apple, pumpkin, cinnamon and clove. There are loads of great recipes out there, and I don’t know about you, but I find myself scrolling for hours on pinterest, instagram and of course tiktok with drool dripping from the corner of my mouth.
As I was scrolling this weekend, I found a few pumpkin flavored desserts that I felt were worth sharing so we can begin to enjoy these yummy fall flavors... if you haven't already!
