It seems fitting that, now that I’m finally getting around to starting a blog, it’s Thanksgiving time…and I am thankful for each of you! 

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of year. It’s not just that I love the food. I do love turkey, stuffing, cranberries, sweet potatoes—and pumpkin.  

Especially pumpkin.

Lately, in fact, it seems I have developed a pumpkin fixation. I just can’t seem to get enough—pumpkin muffins, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie. And now our local supermarket bakery has the best pumpkin cream cheese cake. I’m hoping it’s seasonal—and will go away soon—because I seem to be losing control in this area!
