*If you like, replace all of these seasonings with 2–3 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice blend from Savory Spice Shop, which produces some of the best spices I have found. The store was started by a true spice wonk that imports spices from around the world and grinds them fresh each week. www.savoryspiceshop.com
