Much Ado About Pumpkins
October 31, 2018
Pumpkin Spice- you can’t avoid it in the fall. Every brand tries to mix a little spice into their recipe. Store shelves, coffee shops, and restaurants have been taken over by pumpkin spice ever since the beginning of the season. Seasonal pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin cookies, and more have been pushed in advertisements the closer it gets to Halloween. Getting sick of the word “pumpkin” yet? Luckily, there are many non-pumpkin treats available for non-pumpkin eaters.
