10 Best Pumpkin Bites

By Cara Greenstein

At approximately 9 a.m. every morning, rain or shine, you can find me in the Starbucks line with a Gold Card in hand. While it’s not often that I stray from my routine iced vanilla latte, earlier this week I found myself craving a rich, frothy, cinnamon-y cup of nostalgia. Alas, the infamous pumpkin spice latte was calling my name! Since then I’ve been hooked, and I can’t help but notice that my new regular cup ‘o joe (as well as a recent onset of cooler weather) is suddenly inspiring pumpkin cravings of all sorts. Be it for dessert, dinner or hors d’oeuvres, here are a few of my all-time favorite ways to incorporate the ingredient into any fare. Do you have a pumpkin recipe you make year after year?
