    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    9 Dog Breeds That Look Like Puppies Even When They're Fully Grown

    Puppies are irresistible. We fall in love with their big eyes, little button noses, fluffy tails, and clumsy paws. And yet, like any pet, puppies grow up and turn into dogs. Some breeds, like the Old English Sheepdog or Great Dane, will grow to become larger in size than most people. But not all dogs are destined to become giants. There are some breeds that stay small in size even when they're fully grown. You may want a forever puppy if you are used to smaller animals. Maybe you have a small apartment or just want a canine companion that you can easily carry along with you anywhere you go. Small dogs are also great for families with young children or those of senior age who are best matched with a breed they can physically handle. Fortunately, some specialty dog breeds are mixed to look like puppies throughout their entire lives—and they are sure to melt your heart the second you lay your eyes on them.

five spice pumpkin pie with phyllo crust

Autumn brings the cavalcade of pumpkin spice-flavored everything, including everyone's favorite seasonal latte. Take it to the next level by experimenting with pumpkin spice in your kitchen—it can amp up so much more than your morning coffee. From the showstopping Five-Spice Pumpkin Pie with Phyllo Crust pictured here to Pumpkin Waffles and Pumpkin-Chocolate Whoopie Pies, we have a variety of recipes that showcase just how delicious the sweet and spicy combination can be.

To make the unique twist on classic pumpkin pie that's seen here, we added Chinese five-spice powder, which is a blend of star anise, fennel seeds, Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon, and cloves; the latter two ingredients are staples in traditional pumpkin pie spice, but the heat from the peppercorns and licorice-like flavor from the star anise and fennel seeds introduce more complexity every bite. To make this pie even more spectacular, the filling sits in a phyllo dough-based crust rather than the traditional pâte brisée for extra flakiness.

Looking for a less involved recipe that your family can enjoy any morning of the week? Surprise everyone with our Pumpkin Waffles, which are made with pumpkin purée and a trio of warm spices—ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. They're moist and flavorful, and we're sure your family will dub this the ultimate autumnal breakfast. Of course, we'd be remiss to not include a recipe for a classic Pumpkin Spice Latte (it pairs perfectly with pumpkin waffles). To make the ever-popular drink at home, infuse warm whole milk with a cinnamon stick, whole nutmeg, and sliced fresh ginger. Pour over freshly brewed espresso (or even a regular cup of joe) and top with a dollop of whipped cream and dusting of ground cinnamon.

Make the most of the season with one of these pumpkin spice recipes.
