Soon, the leaves will turn, bonfires will light up the night, shorts will turn into jeans and open windows will replace the A/C unit. Yes, this is another article about the wonderful phenomena we call fall. There are countless things about fall everyone enjoys (whether they like to admit it or not), but instead of focusing on the chilly air and warm colors, this article is focusing on arguably the No. 1 thing we look forward to when fall comes around: pumpkin. Call me "basic"; I don't care. Here is the list of the top 10 pumpkin items we can look forward to in a few short weeks.
1. Pumpkin pie.
A Thanksgiving staple. More importantly, cool, creamy and delicious.
2. Pumpkin bread.
Sugar, spice and everything exquisite. If you want to sample the best pumpkin bread in the world, hit me up. I have a secret family recipe that has been passed down for generations. Serious business.
3. Roasted pumpkin seeds.
One of the rewards from all that hard work that goes into carving a pumpkin is the roasted and salted seeds that provide a great crunchy snack.
4. Pumpkin candles.
What is more inviting than opening the door to a house that smells like pumpkin? Nothing.
5. Pumpkin body lotion.
6. Pumpkin lip balm.
Although not entirely edible, pumpkin spice lip balm is the perfect way to keep those lips moisturized as the air turns dry.
7. Pumpkin decorations.
Plastic pumpkins are a perfect way to prepare your home/apartment/dorm for the fall season.
8. Actual, real life pumpkins.
And what's better than plastic pumpkins? Real life pumpkins. The fall season is not complete without a glowing jack-o-lantern to greet the trick-or-treaters.
9. Pumpkin patches.
And where can you find those real life pumpkins? The pumpkin patch and I'm not talking about the rows of pumpkins that sit in front of your local Wal-mart. Everyone needs to experience the trip to a pumpkin patch.
10. Pumpkin Spice Lattes.
Did you really think you would get through a pumpkin list without the pumpkin spice latte? Really?
