Pumpkin

Pumpkin season runs long here. The baking side is the biggest, with homemade pumpkin cinnamon rolls, pumpkin spice scones, pumpkin chocolate chip muffins, and a whole set of air fryer versions, including air fryer pumpkin pie that free up the oven when it's already full.

The savory recipes are worth a look before you write pumpkin off as a dessert. Crockpot pumpkin cottage cheese soup and pumpkin cottage cheese pasta are both weeknight dinners, and pumpkin black garlic hummus is the one people ask about at parties.
