Yummy — all these look so good =) I’m with you on my sentiments towards pumpkin — every once in a while is good. But the deluge of pumpkin spice things this time of year is just waaay too much for me 😀
Definitely, Kaitlyn. I like to enjoy some of these other flavors, too!
All of these look so yummy! I really enjoy pumpkin, but since my husband doesn’t like it, I don’t make it much-and these are awesome alternative treats!
Hopefully you can try a couple of these, AnneMarie!
I definitely prefer apple or caramel myself!
I love both of those, Dara. They are great together, too!
Great ideas – I love the corn cakes. Thanks for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party!
Aren’t those great?
Thanks for hosting!
