If you’ve been reading this blog for long you know that I am absolutely coo-coo-crazy for pumpkin. For years I’ve been screaming that pumpkin doesn’t get enough attention but I think that particular tide may have finally turned. I’m seeing pumpkin everything in the shops and on restaurant menus.

Fine Cooking’s Brown Butter Pumpkin Cake
King Arthur Flour’s Pumpkin Cake Doughnuts (I bet I could get Amy to make these for me.)
