Recipe A Day

I like to space my pumpkin-eating out throughout fall. I'm not the kind of person who can drink a pumpkin latte every day, then follow things up with a pumpkin muffin and pumpkin soup. But I do indulge in the occasional pumpkin pancake every other weekend or so. And these? Well, they're the best I've ever had. And I can't say I'm surprised. The recipe is compliments of a very special lady.

Succumb to a tasty pumpkin-flavored treat this morning. Whip up a batch of these (remarkably easy) Pumpkin Pancakes. Guarantee it won't be the only time you make them this fall.
