I cannot get enough pumpkin this season.

As in, I’m making EVERYTHING with it. Including baby food. (Yeah, I’m totally that person. In my defense, it’s really easy to blend up some canned pumpkin puree with a little milk or water, freeze it into 1 oz. cubes, then heat it up whenever it’s time to give the baby solid foods.)

Pumpkin is good in so many combinations and delicious for so many things.

But my favorite recipes for pumpkin are breakfast recipes.

Is there a better combination in the food world than chocolate and coffee?

For the sake of argument, I think not. Especially when it comes to one of my favorite desserts – brownies!

Or, in the case of this recipe, Coffee Toffee Brownie Bark. Perfect, crispy bites of brownie, reminiscent of the over baked edges half the world’s population loves.

The 12 Best Pumpkin Recipes for Fall

12 Best Pumpkin Recipes For Fall - My Cooking Spot

It’s Fall Y’all! Stephanie from Sustaining the Powers here again. The days are getting cooler and shorter, the leaves are beginning to change, and the pumpkin craze is fully in the air, so I wanted to bring you a round up of pumpkin recipes for you to enjoy with your families this Fall.

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE anything and everything pumpkin. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, roasted pumpkin soup, pumpkin carving, pumpkin chunking, pumpkin patches, pumpkin spice, really, I’m probably down for anything you add to the word “pumpkin.” My Halloween board on Pinterest is at least 2/3 pumpkin and 1/3 The Walking Dead. (Any other Walking Dead fans out there?) That makes Fall my most favorite of the seasons. (plus I’m a food blogger, so all the best food holidays happen between now and January.)

Trips with me to the grocery store during this time of year involve me getting everything on our list and then I convince my hubby that we should stop by the baking aisle “just to see” what the sales are for the week. (Pro Tip: It’s always pumpkin.) Then I convince him that we’re going to need to stock up on more pumpkin for the rest of the seasons when it’s not available, plus “It’s on sale!” I say. Then I go home and stuff the canned pumpkin, pumpkin butter, pumpkin spice oreos, and candy corn pumpkins onto my already overflowing shelf of Fall ingredients, and I ration them carefully so I have some for the whole rest of the year. (I’m not kidding about this either. I just used my last pumpkin butter from last year in August.)
