7 Recipes For People To Fall In Love With Pumpkins Just In Time For Fall

What is wrong with pumpkin spice? Pumpkin spiced lattes? I’ve honestly never had one, but I think this fall I might *spice* things up a bit. And who doesn’t love pumpkin cookies?! Pumpkin is definitely a fall food staple in my life and I know I’m not the only one in this boat.

Fall is when the weather changes and we all break into our beloved boxes of fall clothing. It’s apple picking season and the best time to watch scary movies. Pumpkin spiced lattes are a fall thing, not a “typical white girl” thing. A lot of people love pumpkin spiced foods and drinks. If you are having trouble with the idea of pumpkin as a fall food staple, please continue reading this article as I have kindly listed out a few pumpkin recipes that, though I haven’t tried myself, are considered very delicious. However, if you happen to be a pumpkin fan, this is also the perfect article for you!

“Pumpkin cannoli with sage brown butter sauce”. Ahhh, doesn’t that just roll off your tongue like rain on a window pane? And who doesn’t love cannoli?! You can find the recipe here: http://www.countryliving.com/food-drinks/g619/our-best-pumpkin-recipes-1008/?slide=3

If you are like me then you really love waffles. My dad bought me a waffle iron a few years back and I still use it religiously. It is definitely one of the best gifts I’ve ever gotten. So, if you do love waffles then I’m positive you’ll love these pumpkin ginger waffles! So maybe you’re not felling a pumpkin muffin for breakfast, whip out this recipe and you’re good to go! You can find it here: http://www.countryliving.com/food-drinks/g619/our-best-pumpkin-recipes-1008/?slide=7 (yes, it is from the same website as the cannoli recipe! Gotta love Country Living!)

Pumpkin chocolate cookies, like the ones found here: http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/recipe-collections-favorites/delicious-pumpkin-recipes/pumpkin-cookies-chocolate are cookies you’d usually find in my household. If you really want to impress your friends you should make them! Besides, who doesn’t love chocolate?

But wait- there’s more! If you find yourself growing weary of the classic pumpkin spiced latte, and you happen to be having the kind of day that needs to be ended with some good ol’ alcohol, this recipe found here: http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/recipe-collections-favorites/delicious-pumpkin-recipes/pumpkin-vodka-martini, of a pumpkin martini may just be your new classic drink! It’s sweet, delicious, and easy to make!

My housemate loves her pop tarts, and may even be a tad territorial of them, so one thing I plan on making for her (maybe for her birthday!) are these superb looking pumpkin pie pop tarts with a cream cheese glaze! They are perfect for snacks or a light breakfast. You can find this recipe here: http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/recipe-collections-favorites/delicious-pumpkin-recipes/pumpkin-pie-pop-tart-cream-cheese.

Here’s a little curve ball, what if maybe your problem with pumpkin spiced lattes aren’t the pumpkin spice component but rather the recipe used by the place that makes them? What if I told you you could make your own pumpkin spiced lattes? Well you can!! Here’s a recipe: http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/recipe-collections-favorites/delicious-pumpkin-recipes/wholesome-pumpkin-pie-spice-latte


Imagine it is a cold, rainy fall evening and you just want something to warm your body, mind and soul. For some reason you’re really craving avocados… And soup seems to be the only thing your heart wants. Lucky for you, I’ve provided a soul-baring recipe from Southern Living: Spicy pumpkin soup with avocado cream. You can find it here: http://www.southernliving.com/food/holidays-occasions/10-pumpkin-recipes/spicy-pumpkin-soup-avocado-cream-recipe-image.

So I’ve tried my best to provide some recipes that hit categories like breakfast food, dessert, drinks, snacks, and dinner dishes. If none of these recipes worked for you, there are literally hundreds of recipes online. I know you can find something (unless you’re allergic to pumpkins, then this is really not the article for you). Fall needs pumpkins. It really isn’t fall without them. Please, don’t hate on the pumpkin spiced latte lovers, they’re just satisfying their taste buds and embracing the fall spirit.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
