 Hello Friends,
There's a very short window every September when it still feels wrong to want pumpkin everything, and then suddenly it doesn't anymore. I crossed over this week. My fridge currently has more cans of pumpkin puree in it than I'd like to admit. The first jar I made this year, I didn't measure the cinnamon at all. I just kept shaking it in until the kitchen smelled like a candle store, then called it good. Today's Pumpkin Overnight Oats take five minutes the night before and taste like pumpkin pie you're allowed to eat for breakfast. No oven, no stovetop, just a jar and your fridge. Happy Cooking,
Anisa
