Foods We Crave This Fall-Pumpkin

     "When the leaves start changing into their beautiful colors and the temperatures start falling, I really enjoy pumpkin pie with a hint of cinnamon," said Facebook Fan Christopher Crow. "[It is] a very good treat for the most colorful season of the year."
     Pumpkin was by far the most craved food for fall, according to our Facebook poll. It is not surprising, as pumpkins are an icon of fall. They are used both for decoration and to make a variety of delicious foods; they are carved with scary faces at Halloween and pumpkin pies are a traditional dessert for Thanksgiving dinner and other holiday meals. But pumpkins aren't limited to Jack o' Lanterns and pies.
     Facebook Fan Kerri Fox made us salivate when she said she was craving a pumpkin roll and pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, which taste like "sweet heaven." Rachel Lorenzo can relate to Kerri's craving: "We always take the kids to our local pumpkin patch, and they sell the yummiest pumpkin cake roll with cream cheese filling ever!"
     Mary Margaret Cooper Commodari said she likes "anything with pumpkin in its name!" That means she would absolutely love Faith Davis-Vest's picks: pumpkin donuts and pumpkin pie spiced coffee. Angie Louviere Adams enjoys traditional favorites pumpkin pie and baked pumpkin seeds. The thought of them made her so excited that she added, "Woohoo! Love fall!"
     While certain areas of U.S. are starting to feel the changing of the seasons, others are still in summer mode. Tyler Atnip-Woodworth said he craves pumpkin ice cream during the seasonal transition. "It's a nice in-between, recognizing that the late summer heat isn't quite behind us, but the gourds are among us!" Sarah E. Evans told us she was craving chocolate-glazed pumpkin pie cheesecake. "I actually made one this past weekend, and the whole family enjoyed it! It truly brings fall to you when it's so hot here in Texas!"
