Baked Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Close_r

Pumpkin. Sweetie. Honey. Cupcake.

All terms of endearment, most referring to sweets – one is a vegetable. I am unaware of any other vegetable in English that is also a term of endearment. The French do utilize the cabbage – mon petit chou – literally ‘my little cabbage’. But I’m not French, so let’s carry on. Wait! I thought of one – sweet pea. If you think of any other veggie terms of endearment – leave a comment!

Back to pumpkin. The quintessential fall flavor packed with betacarotene (vitamin A) and rich in fiber. I need no convincing to develop pumpkin insanity for the next 2 months.

First, let’s start with pumpkin pie spice.  Easy to whip up at home with ingredients already in your spice rack.
