One of the best parts about the fall season is all of the tasty pumpkin-flavoured treats there are to indulge in! From grocery stores to local bakeries, there’s an abundance of pumpkin bites to try. But if you’re looking to join in on the fun and make some tasty pumpkin treats of your own, there are more recipes than you can imagine available right at your fingertips! After researching a ton of delicious-looking pumpkin recipes, a few treats stood out that don’t seem overly difficult for us non-professionals to make.
Here are the tasty pumpkin treats we can’t wait to make this fall!
Pumpkin Pancakes
Probably one of the easiest tasty pumpkin treats to make is pumpkin pancakes. As it’s literally the same as making regular pancakes, but with a different mix. Stonewall Kitchen has a great Pumpkin Pancake & Waffle Mix, which features a mix of spices and pumpkin flavour. Making them on a chilly fall Sunday morning would be perfection!
Pumpkin Pie
Don’t leave pumpkin pies just to be enjoyed on Thanksgiving! Pumpkin pie actually isn’t all that hard to make, either (and is the best pie, in our humble opinion). Check out an easy option recipe here!
Pumpkin Spiced Latte
Ahh, the delight of a warm pumpkin spice latte on a chilly fall day. The good news is that you don’t need to run to Starbucks every time you want a PSL. Starbucks has shared its iconic Pumpkin Spice Latte recipe so you can make it at home!
Pumpkin Cupcakes
Okay, this is where things get a little more complicated. Pumpkin-flavoured cupcakes are such a delicious and festive dessert option, even to bring into school or the office. At first glance, this recipe might feel a little intimidating because it requires a decent amount of ingredients, but once you get the ingredients out of the way, it’s super easy to make.
Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls
We can just smell pumpkin cinnamon rolls baking in the oven, waiting to be enjoyed. For this recipe, you’re going to need to block out at least 3 hours, but we think it’s safe to say it will be so worth it. Made with pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and maple cream cheese icing, every bite will taste like fall.
Creamy Pumpkin Pasta
Pumpkin pasta may sound a little strange at first, but after reading the recipe, it actually seems so good! This recipe entails mixing pumpkin puree with seasoned nutmeg and pasta, creating a cozy and tasty pasta dish like no other.
Pumpkin Donut Holes
Pumpkin donut holes (AKA Timbits, but not actually, because they aren’t from Tim Hortons) are another tasty treat we’re dying to make this fall! And this recipe says it will take less than 30 minutes (yes, please)!

Have you tried any of these restaurants yet? Let us know what you think in the comments!
Tapas restaurants are all the rage now, popping up around the world like Japanese izakayas did a decade ago. This phenomenon is happening in North America, the U.K, Mexico, Argentina, and Asia. In Spain, where they originated, tapas were tiny snacks used as a bridge between long lunches, from 1-4 pm, to late dinners, from 9-11 pm. Now, the portions are larger, shared by diners to become a full meal, and don’t even have to be Spanish. They can be Korean, Malaysian, or even Middle Eastern.
Tapa, originally meaning cover or lid, have been popular since the 18th century in Spain when they were served at no cost to travellers as a lid to protect their glasses of sweet sherry from fruit flies. The original tapas were a slice of bread or meat, speared with a toothpick. These salty treats increased thirst and increased sales of alcoholic drinks. A win-win situation to bar owner and traveller. Nowadays in Spain, tapas range from olives, Serrano ham, meatballs, and fried squid, to croquettes, empanadas, octopus, garlic prawns, and potatoes with spicy sauces. Gone are the toothpicks and sherry; in with the knives and forks, and a full array of fancy cocktails.
Why the current surge in popularity? Forty-four per cent of millennials spend their food dollars eating out, and they find meals of meat and potatoes boring. They are a well-travelled group who want more sophistication and variety in their food outings and prefer to spend their food dollars to taste the world.
So what are some of the newest and best examples of the variety of tapas in Toronto?
For a purely Spanish experience, Madrina shines. Located in the Distillery District’s main square, it has a 37-foot bar, open kitchen, terracotta tiles, and elegant ceramics and drawings. There’s a large outdoor patio with space heaters, and Spanish music that hits the perfect note with the food. The Chef, Ramon Simarro, is from Catalonia, and has worked at many Michelin-starred restaurants in Europe. The food is traditional but modern, and the extensive menu covers a wide range of Spanish dishes. Some standouts include: shrimp croquettes, bocata de calamares, grilled octopus, steak tartare served on roasted bone marrow, crab and avocado tortellini, patatas bravas, and atun rojo. The drink menu is extensive and includes sangria, cocktails, wines and beer.
Price: Dinner for two runs approximately $140 with a cocktail.
Location: 2 Trinity St.
Anyone for Korean tapas? Check out the new and creative Mezu Restaurant on Dundas West Street. Run by Executive Chef Donguk Sul, who formerly cooked at Mamakas and Momfuku, and partner Jay Jongseok Park, the menu is Korean-Canadian fusion small plates. The light and airy restaurant with an open kitchen has tables for 2, 4, and 6, as well as a sunny outdoor patio. Korean ingredients are prevalent but prepared with a twist. Their steak tartare is topped with chili, chives, sesame, and soy, and served with puffy seaweed chips; bulgogi is a marinated hanger steak, flavoured with soy, crispy garlic, scallions, and crunchy white kimchi; ssam, a lettuce wrap encloses tender pork belly and a Korean sauce and chimichurri sauce. Squid ink crispy haddock, fried smelts, arancini rice croquettes, whole crispy mackerel, albacore tuna, tender grilled octopus, and vegetable dishes round out the menu. Drinks include exotic cocktails, various beers, soju, and sake.
Price: Dinner for two is about $100 with drinks
Dinner: 1375 Dundas St W, Toronto, ON
For Malaysian tapas, there’s no place better than Soos, a family business on Ossington St. The food is a modern twist on Malaysian street food, combining the complex flavours of Malay and Nyonya cuisines. The menu is divided into small plates and larger plates. Some of the favourites from the small menu include chicken tacos (coconut cornmeal shells), served with carrot slaw, kaffir lime and topped with tzatziki, Sarawak pepper prawns, mango slaw, and flaky roti. Larger plates feature murtabak, meat-stuffed rotis with curry dip and garlic sauce, braised mushrooms with udon noodles, scallions, sesame, and green sauce, laksa, the Malaysian national dish, with chicken, shrimp, and tofu in a coconut milk broth spiced with chili, galangal, and lemongrass, and char kway teow, a charred rice noodle dish with shrimp and chives.
Price: There is a Feed Me menu, a large array of dishes at $40 per person. Dinner for two is approximately $90 with cocktails.

A Poutine Food Festival Is Coming To Toronto This Spring
There are some foods that define the Canadian culture, for example, ketchup chips, butter tarts, kraft dinner, maple syrup, peameal bacon, smarties, and the list goes on! Now, I’m getting hungry. The one that really stands out in my mind as being the “most Canadian,” is poutine. If for some reason you don’t know what that is; it’s mozzarella cheese over fries and then hot gravy is poured on top, which makes the cheese ooey and gooey. Yum. Lot’s of different varieties have expanded from the classic, like ‘pulled pork’ poutine:
Or ‘fried-onion’ poutine:
To celebrate our love for poutine, Toronto is hosting its first EVER Poutine Festival! The event will be held from May 24th to 27th in Yonge and Dundas Square. There will be NINE food trucks to choose from, serving over 50 different types of poutine! That’s a LOT of poutine. They will be inspired by cultures around the world and will probably be the craziest poutine you’ll ever find. We’ve read you can even find ‘bacon double cheeseburger’ poutine and ‘deep-fried cheese curd’ poutine.
You obviously don’t want to miss out on this FREE ENTRY event. You will have to pay for the individual poutines but I’m sure it’ll be worth every penny.
Find out more on their event page on Facebook.
