\n<\/a> \"toastingcashews\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I am determined to experience the seasons. I love, love, love summer, and want to make sure that I don’t spend the years waiting and pining for summer and then ignoring what is nice about the other seasons. One thing that I like about the fall season is the abundance of pumpkin-related treats. <\/p>\n

I’m serious. I have to stay out of Trader Joe’s right now. If I don’t, I will fill a basket with pumpkin ice cream, and pumpkin macarons. My lips will be perpetually stained with pumpkin spiced something or other. I will ingest nothing of any nutritional value until the new year if I go in there. <\/p>\n

That is not to say that I whipped up something of nutritional value. No, I decided to play with the pumpkin pie idea by making blondies.<\/p>\n

\"pumpkinblondiepn\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I used a recipe from Smitten Kitchen<\/a> which was adapted from a Mark Bittman recipe. My blondie recipe was spiked with a shot of bourbon and kissed by a cup of toasted cashews. Where’s the pumpkin pie? It is swirled over the top of this blondie. <\/p>\n

This is not the kind of thing that should be stored in plain sight if you have a pumpkin pie problem. That would be dangerous.<\/p>\n

Dangerously tasty.<\/p>\n
