So, this is how I feel about Fall:
I know that not everyone loves pumpkin, but I sure do. The Pumpkin Spice Latte is back at Starbucks. The other day I had a pumpkin pie shake at Sonic, and my mother-in-law made her first pumpkin pie of the season and I indulged in a slice. I thought I’d share my love of pumpkin-flavored things here and include some recipes to make your own pumpkin deliciousness at home!
Pumpkin pie is the quintessential Fall dessert, along with Pecan pie (which I didn’t fully learn to appreciate until I moved to the South). There are many recipes out there, but Paula Deen seems to know what she’s doing so I linked to her recipe.
Pumpkin Pie White Hot Chocolate
I’m sorry, but… Why is this not in my mouth right now? Seriously, this looks and sounds DELICIOUS. I can’t wait to try and make this.
This light, fluffy dip boasts only 102 calories per 1/2 cup serving. This definitely looks delicious, and like something I’d love to serve as a snack on Thanksgiving or for a Fall-themed wedding or party.
To me, this is the mack daddy of pumpkin deliciousness. I anxiously await for these to come out at Starbucks every single year and when they do, the first sip is like a thing of beauty. Linked to the text under the picture is a homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte. The same taste for WAY less. As much as I love Starbucks & the Pumpkin Spice Latte, I definitely do not love the price. I will be trying this one this year!
Blue Moon Harvest Moon Pumpkin Ale
Okay, I don’t have a homemade recipe for this. I just really love this beer. I’m a fan of sampling and tasting new kinds of brews, and this one is by far one of my favorites. I love all of the Blue Moon seasonal ales, but I think the Pumpkin Ale is my favorite!
