“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, and favor is better than silver or gold”
Proverbs 22:1
We are one month away from the official start of Autumn, but we have been seeing fall decor in all the stores since the 4th of July! Take a stroll through your local Hobby Lobby, and you might even spot a Christmas tree! I am never one to rush the seasons away, but this summer’s heat and humidity has been extremely tough…causing me to look forward to that slight “nip in the air”. Since the last few days have brought rain to our Appalachian foothills, it was perfect for a little autumn dreaming…reading my new magazines full of recipes and pinning to my Pinterest Board Foodie Presentations! I love reading recipes and all of the the tastes of autumn…with the star of so many dishes (both sweet and savory) being pumpkin!
Although I plan to savor every last minute of summer, I am sharing some tasty recipes with you today…recipes that I would say are perfectly pumpkin!

Pumpkin Risotto
My first time to eat risotto was in Florence, Italy and I have loved it ever since and make it often. During the fall season, I sometimes will add butternut squash, so I know pumpkin will be just as delicious.
Pumpkin Cornbread with Cinnamon Honey Butter
This will be added to my recipe file for sure, with its warm autumn spices. You can’t be from the Deep South and not love cornbread, and this looks amazing. I can imagine this served with collard greens and roasted pork!
