When you think fall, usually one of the first things that comes to your mind is pumpkins. Yes, there are many things associated with fall but pumpkins are the one fresh fruit that we can’t wait to pick to use for decorating and for eating. The flavor has found its way into everything we eat and drink and the shell of the pumpkin isn’t just for that ONE day a year. We love it so much that we have cloned the pumpkin in every material known to us.
I would like to introduce you to a Pumpkin Guide for the Pumpkin Lover! These products are all fall worthy!
Food and Drink
Most of the food here will be a part of our fall charcuterie table.
Pinch Spice Market
I use many spices from Pinch Spice Market and they give a variety of spices to choose from for whatever your cooking or baking. They grind spices & make blends in small batches, so you get the freshest flavors. They know the farmers so it’s sourced fair & direct trade. This family owned business loves this planet, and they’re dedicated to being an eco-friendly spice business. That’s actually not super easy (or affordable) in this day and age for a small business, but they don’t care. They think an investment in helping to save this planet is worth it, as should we.
