By the way, one of my other fall favorites is PUMPKIN!! I'm not sure why I wait until the leaves start to fall before I break out the pumpkin recipes, but that's another tale. So far, I've tried many but here are a few: pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin oatmeal, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and my favorite so far, http://www.verybestbaking.com/recipes/detail.aspx?ID=28200!
