I am in love with fall! I love the colors, the crisp air and the smell of pumpkins! I recently reached out to my friends at the Paso Robles Inn for a seasonal recipe to share with you, the readers of the Paso Robles Insider. I was delighted to receive a recipe for Autumn Pumpkin and Pepita Salad straight from the Chef's kitchen! Cheers to pumpkins!
