Fall has officially arrived! Enter: the return of the pumpkin spice flavor that you’ll find in almost every dish. Contrary to our own beliefs, there was actually a point in time in which pumpkin was only found in pies. But, in recent years, pumpkin spice has proven itself to be the Queen of Fall, with pumpkin spice lattes, cereals, donuts, cookies, etc. For anyone who doesn’t really understand the hype yet, we’d like to clue you in on few reasons why pumpkin spice will always reign supreme during this time of the year.
