A close cousin to the classic pumpkin pie, this pumpkin tart has the same warm, deep spices and creamy texture, snuggled between a buttery shortbread crust and a brown-sugar, pecan streusel topping.

This easy Pumpkin Bread is moist and dark, deeply spicy, studded with walnuts and topped with a crunchy cap of cinnamon sugar. 

These are quiet days at home, trying to appreciate what’s good about life right now – like a soul-warming seasonal feast of spiced pecans, prosciutto-wrapped pork loin and pumpkin-spiced icebox cake.

This easy, no-bake Pumpkin Spice Icebox Cake has lighter-than-air layers of fluffy pumpkin mousse spiced with cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and clove, smothered with whipped cream and scattered with shards of chocolate-covered toffee.

I’ve got all the tips for making a classic Pumpkin Pie that’s rich and creamy, silky smooth, and subtly spicy.
