Pumpkins!

Happy First Day of Fall!

Even though it is still brutally hot here, we are now getting much closer to cooler weather!
I love fall for so many reasons. I cannot wait until the leaves start changing colors; I am excited about crisp air and no humidity; most of all, I am excited about PUMPKINS!!!!

Last year I discovered my love for pumpkin everything: pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin latte's, pumpkin oatmeal, pumpkin bagels...the list continues. So in celebration of the first day of fall, I did something I rarely do: I went to Starbucks. The pumpkin spice frappuccino was the perfect drink to kick off this wonderful season. It was delicious and heavenly!

I am so excited about experimenting with pumpkin recipes. I have found plenty between last season and now. I have decided that once a week (at least), I will treat myself to something pumpkin. That can mean buying it already made, like a Starbucks drink, or cooking it myself, which is what I will probably do the most. Get excited!
