With all due respect to the summer lovers out there, autumn is clearly the best season. Perfect weather, blue skies, beautiful colours, pumpkin everything (it and its spices are delicious--don't pretend otherwise), and two holidays in October for Canadians. There's more than enough to be thankful for.
By the way, who else loves the blue pumpkins that have been showing up in stores? If I could, I'd buy all the pumpkins (in all the colours) and fill my home with them.
Speaking of, I went looking for pumpkin dessert inspiration and came across a trove of options on the Canadian Living site. If you're looking for something new to try, you might like these:
