Creamy pumpkin pie: the spices lighting up your taste buds, and the sweetness of the pie cooling them back down, is one of the best things about fall.
The summer before I went to college, my family moved to North Miami Beach. I was so unaccustomed to the heat and humidity that I longed for the fall season up north. I became obsessed with pumpkin pie, maybe because I associated it with cool, crisp autumn days. Now it's no longer a seasonal favorite. In our home, pumpkin pie is always in season!
