It's possible that we've gone overboard on pumpkin spice this season. Despite concerns that we've pushed this flavor too far, let's not forget why it became a fall favorite in the first place. The delicious combination of ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and allspice perfectly complements pumpkin's subtle earthy flavor.
Of course, there's more to pumpkin than just spice. The fall fruit pairs well with other equally delicious flavors, including fresh sage and star anise.
Put down the pumpkin-flavored Pringles, and cook the real deal instead.
