It's the time of the year we've all been waiting for: The pumpkin has arrived. Can you smell the cinnamon and nutmeg from where you are sitting? Dallas restaurants are dishing out pumpkin cinnamon rolls, pumpkin pecan pie pancakes, pumpkin pie milkshakes, pumpkin bundt cakes — savory pumpkin items, too, like pumpkin beef chili and pumpkin carbonara.

And this is only the beginning, as pumpkin items are sure to be emerging for at least another month. Something to look forward to!
