Fall in California isn’t as distinctive as it is in other parts of the country. However, there are still a few telltales signs of the season for us. Cooler mornings but warm and wind-free afternoons, shorter days, a few more leaves on the lawn, and soccer season are all indicators of the new season.
But, what makes me really love fall is the abundance of pumpkins — for decor, sure, but mostly for eating. I love pumpkin ANYTHING. And, I share my love of the gourd with a dear friend, with whom I have an ongoing email and text thread about all things pumpkin. She recently introduced me to my latest pumpkin obsession, pumpkin cookies. The easiest, yummiest recipe I maybe have ever seen. If you are a pumpkin-lover, you must try it!
