It's fall, which means there's pumpkin spice everything on the shelves and in stores.

And there's a reason we all love a PSL so much.

According to research done at Johns Hopkins Kreiger School of Arts and Sciences, people may love the seasonal flavor for a purely psychological reason.

“The association that the smell has with the season in our memories allows it to powerfully evoke the refreshing feelings of fall,” says Jason Fischer, assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences.

If you're looking for some fall baking inspiration, here are three pumpkin dessert recipes from the Courier Journal's extensive recipe archive.

Happy fall!
