I don’t remember seeing pumpkin doughnuts in the stores last year.  Our favorite cashier at Albertson’s said she remembers them.  She is the sweetest girl.  Whenever we go to the store she works at she will go out of her way to give Will stickers and a cookie from the bakery.

This dish turned out more like a dessert than a breakfast.  But, who cares.  Dessert is fun to eat for any meal!  I think this dish would be so wonderful and decadent for Thanksgiving morning or Christmas morning.  And I know people will want to scoff at me for saying it but its going to get here so dang fast! IT IS OCTOBER ALREADY!!!

One of these days I’m going to get a new blogroll put together for this blog.  I lost a few thing like that in the move.  One blog I’ll be sure to add is Smitten Kitchen.  I bought two copies of Deb Perelman’s cookbook last year for a giveaway I had here on Julie’s Jazz.  I fell in love with it!  Her stories are worth reading the book for, even without her recipes.  But, her recipes are such an added bonus.  It is literally the kind of cookbook you’ll want to curl up with in an overstuffed chair. And don’t forget a pad of post-its, and a pen.

So this recipe I have for you today is a play on her Cinnamon Toast French Toast (from the book).  I used pumpkin doughnuts instead of bread.  It’s super sweet and obnoxiously good with black coffee!
