Pumpkin pumpkin pumpkin! {or as we call it...punkin punkin punkin!}
I love this time of year because it's completely legit to make too many pumpkin recipes and I'm not sick, overwhelmed, or tired of seeing pumpkin plastered everywhere.
Pumpkin is still a fresh idea.
Ask me again in a couple of weeks and I may have a different opinion.
But right now... pumpkin is exciting and what my dreams are full of.
This spicy pumpkin bacon dip is creamy thanks to the pumpkin and greek yogurt cream cheese, is hearty {for all those bros who need a "manly snack" while bro-ing out watch football} with the cheddar cheese and bacon, and flavorful with the garlic, cayenne pepper, and fresh green onion.
Oh my!
Crack open those beer cans... this recipe has everything else covered.

OMG. Seriously, girl. This is ridiculous in the best possible way. My dreams are made of pumpkin this time of year, too, and my goodness, do I want some of this dip.
Good thing I've got all the ingredients in the fridge. And good thing we've got ALL the football on the TV today!
This is perfect for football!! We seriously snacked on this all afternoon and evening with friends over and football on the TV yesterday. It was a hit!
This sounds so good! What a fun fall recipe!
