Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

I absolutely adore fall. One of my favorite things about fall is....the Pumpkin Spice latte at Starbucks. I totally countdown the days until it makes its debut every season.

However, a serious addiction like this can cause some serious damage to your wallet if you aren't careful. Therefore, I have switched out my morning coffee for my drive to work with the Pumpkin Spice K-Kups to help feed this addiction without going too crazy. Is it as good as the Starbucks version? Of course not. But then again, it is a lot less fattening, too!

There's just something about sipping on some yummy pumpkin goodness on a brisk, cool morning that screams fall.

My latest obsession also comes in the pumpkin spice variety. I stumbled across these yummy cookies the other week at Target and had to give them a try.

They were so incredibly easy. Add a stick of butter, an egg, and 2 TBS of water and you now have some nice cookies to nibble on. To make these a little more special, I top them with a little bit of cream cheese frosting and then a dusting of pumpkin pie spice on the top. Can't beat it! I saw one recipe online that added some oats and cinnamon chips to this cookie mix and I have to admit, that sounds pretty scrumptious.

All of this pumpkin goodness makes me want to throw on some boots and a scarf and go play out in the yard in the leaves, err pine straw. Too bad it will still be 80 degrees in Georgia until New Years!
