    I don't' care for pumpkin anything- so I'm off the hook. and I really don't like egg nog.
    Buuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttttttttttttttt
    I adore jelly beans.

    And candy corn.

    and peeps.

    But I refuse to eat them other than the month in which they were designed to celebrate the holiday. (is that even a thing)

    oh and Mint M and M's dear god. I love them.

    Anything with pumpkin--pumpkin pie, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin muffins....

    This. I am terribly in love with the taste of pumpkin. I'll even take a can of unflavored pumpkin, put pumpkin pie spices in it, mix with some cream or milk, and eat it (spread out over a few days, obviously lol, not all at once)- SO good!

    Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin cream cheese, pumpkin pie, pecan pie, salted caramel mochas from Starbucks, and a new one: STARBUCKS PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE MUFFIN.<3 Best thing ever.

    Oh dear God, I forgot about the salted caramel mochas *whimpers* I tried one once and it was amazing. So I never did it again because I knew I couldn't stop :(

    I love marzipan, although I buy it any time I can find the elusive organic, Italian, gluten free Bia Stramondo marzipan, regardless of season.

    There is GF marzipan? Must find this...
    Also peanut butter fudge and apple cider.

    Pomegranates.

    I don't care how much they cost. I load up and eat them every day - straight off the rind, make something with them, or just put the whole seeds in other foods like yogurt or ice cream. Plus they look pretty sitting on the kitchen counter.

    love :love: love

    I can and have devoured an entire pecan pie. It's my weakness. I love pecan pie so much... But I can't have it anymore... Pretty sure I won't be able to stop at just one

    Me too! Way back in the day my mother made a pecan pie for the holidays and burned it and no one else would eat it so it was ALL MINE!! I had it for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack. Nom nom nom

    Pumpkin is my big seasonal treat. I've already had a pumpkin bagel with walnut raisin cream cheese (Mister Bagel for any other Mainers) and several cups of Green Mountain Pumpkin Spice coffee.

    For those of you who are also pumpkin fans, you can make yummy low fat (fat free?) muffins by combining a box of spice cake mix or even carrot cake mix with a can of pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling). Makes 24 muffins, about 100 cal each (depending on cake mix). Just bake for 20-25 min at 350. For chocolate lovers, use chocolate cake mix.

    My friend makes those muffins then makes a dairy free "cream cheese" frosting and dips them in coconut - talk about heaven!

    Also, mixing a can of pumpkin puree with a small tub of cool whip and a small box of instant sugar free/fat free pudding and you've got a yummy whipped treat!

    Cadbury eggs at Easter. I love those. Also lately the frozen skinny coffees from Starbucks I really have to watch those. :)

    Pumpkin, cinnamon, caramel apples.. I love fall in general. The colors, the food, the fashion, the weather. My favorite season!

    Fiddleheads, Ontario peaches, Ontario strawberries, fresh sweet corn, zucchini flowers, zucchini...
    Basically I can't wait for fresh produce to be in season! We have such a short growing season :(

    I also look forward to turkey dinner. If it's possible I love to cook it for my family more than actually eating it (and I do love eating it!).

    Pumpkin Pie pop tarts, Pumpkin Patch Dreyer's, Pumpkin Cheesecake Ben & Jerry's.

    Oh yeah, I've learned my lesson. Stock up on the B&J's and Pop Tarts!

    I didn't see the ampersand at first. I was like Whoa. I am coming to your house for the holidays.

    Pumpkin spice flavored ANYTHING: pancakes, bread pudding, ice cream, coffee cake, muffins, etc. And anything with crumb topping...this is all the time, but it seems much more common in the fall/winter. :)

    It's got to be Avocados, Caesar dressing and Cadbury creme eggs. For those of you who don't know what these are - sold in NZ, Aust and UK - they are easter eggs about the size of a standard chickens egg but with a sugary creme inside that is white and yellow like an egg yolk! Extremely addictive, sugary, sticky and gorgeous. You can also get them in peppermint creme and caramel. I wish it wasn't so far till easter now!

    You can get pumpkin in cans? Wow I've really got to leave NZ sometime soon!

    Eggnog anyway you dress it up.

    And Peeps at Easter. I love those freaking things! (Only the Easter ones...I can ignore them other holidays.)
