Summer’s not over... but fall flavors are calling!

Hi foodie,

I know, I know… summer is still here. In some places, it’s even at its peak. But while everyone is still enjoying long sunny days, I’m already sneaking into fall mode 🍁. My kitchen smells like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, and I couldn’t resist sharing a little preview of what’s coming next.

Today I’ve got two new recipes that are perfect for cozy fall baking (and yes, holiday season too!). One is a DIY staple that will upgrade all your fall treats, and the other is a show-stopping dessert that screams festive indulgence. Don’t worry though—I’ll still be sharing plenty of refreshing summer recipes in the coming weeks. Think of this as just a little sneak peek of the cozy season ahead.

DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend

Forget store-bought! My homemade pumpkin pie spice blend is super easy to mix together and will instantly elevate everything from pies and muffins to pancakes, lattes, and more.

The best part? I’ve included a free printable spice label so you can make your jar look extra cute in the pantry.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Rich, creamy, perfectly spiced, and oh-so-decadent… this pumpkin cheesecake might just become your new go-to fall dessert. It’s festive, indulgent, and yes—you guessed it—we’re using my pumpkin pie spice in the filling for that warm, cozy flavor. Perfect for Thanksgiving, family gatherings, or simply when you want a slice of fall on your plate.
