It’s fall, y’all. Break out the pumpkin bread, pumpkin spice lattes, and pumpkin hummus.

Yes, hummus. "Savory pumpkin hummus is the perfect fall-inspired tailgating dish! Make the dip ahead of time and bring it with you on game day and serve it with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables," Emily Eggers at legallyhealthyblonde.com tells Fox News. "This is especially great if your favorite team has orange as one of its colors."
