Pumpkin to Talk About
What most people call fall, I call Pumpkin Spice Season. From mid-August to the end of October, I try to fit as many pumpkin spice things as I can into my daily food regimen. Call me obsessed, but one thing is for sure — I never suffer from FOMO! My favorite pumpkin-spiced treats come from Sugar Hill’s Rushing Trading Company. All of their pumpkin-spiced items are made with REAL pumpkin! Be sure to try their pumpkin pie French toast that comes loaded with sweet cream cheese, pumpkin pie filling, and is topped with caramel and walnuts. This dish pairs nicely with their Lumberjack Breakfast and, of course, a pumpkin spice latte! 5029 W. Broad St. N.E., Sugar Hill, 678-288-9808, RushingTradingCo.com

Matcha Makers
This past July, Mochinut Donuts opened in Suwanee and has already garnered quite the following — including the Suwanee Magazine staff! It’s also no secret among my co-workers that I have a (not so) small obsession with matcha, so I was excited to try Mochinut’s matcha-flavored donut. Spoiler alert: It’s my new go-to! The adorable donut shop uses mochi flour to create sweet treats that are light and crispy and perfectly chewy. The popular franchise originated in Hawaii and has finally made its way to our neck of the woods, and we are forever grateful. 315 Peachtree Industrial Blvd., Suite 106, Suwanee.
