Guys, in a little less than 2 weeks, the best food holiday of the year is upon us: The 4th of July!!
Well, maybe not the BEST. Thanksgiving and Christmas and the Super Bowl are pretty great, too. But it’s definitely the best of the summer food holidays, and we need to make sure we’re prepared.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic day of family, football, a few too many cocktails, and pumpkin pie.
Mmmm…speaking of pumpkin pie…
I’m sure it will surprise exactly zero people that I am still not tired of pumpkin, particularly in pie form. Even the day after we ran out of pie leftovers, I was still like, “Damn, I could use some pumpkin pie right now.” Is anyone with me on this? I hope so, because this post is for you, fellow never-ending pie enthusiasts. Also, pie is a super awesome Christmas/holiday party dessert. So, conclusion: pumpkin pie is still relevant and I’m going to talk about it.
It’s no secret that I absolutely love fall food; I’m going to go ahead and say it’s my favorite food time of the year. And my favorite fall food, hands-down, is pumpkin. I have yet to meet a pumpkin food I didn’t like, from the sweet (pies, breads) to the savory (soups, sauces, pastas). Basically, as soon as the air turns one little bit chilly, I’m shoving as much pumpkin in my mouth as I possibly can, skinny jeans be damned. Besides, pumpkin has VITAMINS, okay? It’s a fruit (and yes, I just Googled that to make sure).
