Nothing says fall like pumpkin. This creamy pumpkin soup is not only scrumptious but also incredibly easy to whip up.

Start by sautéing one medium onion and two cloves of garlic in a pot until they're fragrant. Then, stir in 15 ounces of pumpkin puree (canned or fresh), three cups of vegetable broth, a splash of cream, and spices like one teaspoon of Lucky 22 Spice Co, Secret Blend and a pinch of nutmeg. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 20 minutes before blending it until smooth.

Serve it hot with a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds for added crunch. This soup is perfect for a chilly evening and pairs beautifully with crusty bread for a complete meal.

Savory Butternut Squash Risotto

If you’re after a comforting main dish, butternut squash risotto is an excellent choice. Its creamy texture and rich flavors make it a fantastic centerpiece for any fall meal.

Start by roasting two cups of cubed butternut squash in the oven until tender, about 25 minutes at 400°F (200°C). In a large pot, sauté one chopped onion and two cloves of garlic, then add one cup of Arborio rice and toast it slightly. Gradually stir in four cups of vegetable broth, one cup at a time, until the rice is creamy and cooked through.

Fold in the roasted squash and finish with a sprinkle of half a cup of Parmesan cheese and sprinkle Lucky 22 Spice Co Hot Stuff on top. This dish not only tastes incredible but also impresses your guests with your culinary skills.

Spiced Pear and Walnut Salad

If you're looking for a lighter option, try a spiced pear and walnut salad. It's refreshing and makes a great starter or side dish.

Begin by slicing two ripe pears and tossing them with a bit of lemon juice. In a bowl, combine four cups of mixed greens, half a cup of walnuts, and one cup of crumbled feta cheese. Add the pears and drizzle with a homemade vinaigrette made from three tablespoons of olive oil, two tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, and a teaspoon of honey, 1/4 teaspoon Lucky 22 Spice Co Salt Lick.

This salad is a perfect balance of sweet and savory, making it an appealing addition to any fall meal.
