Re: I Have a Confession to Make

I once made a pie using pumpkin pie spice.  Not a good idea.  To me, the best pies are with separately measured spices.

I never had one either. Not tempted or curious.

I do not drink coffee and well I am not into the dessert drinks--tea, shake etc.

   "Pumpkin Spice Latte"

Eww...sounds awful to me.

What is that? Some fast food thing?

Re: I Have a Confession to Make

@GingerPeach   You taught me something new.  Most pumpkin spice items do not have pumpkin purée in them...just the pumpkin spice.

 

I looked it up and saw that you are correct.  SB does use a very small amount of pumpkin in their lattes.

 

No need to smack you on the head.

 

When I use canned pumpkin, even organic, it tastes like the can to me.

 

I buy fresh long neck pumpkins every fall.  My DH cuts them and peels them for me.  He wears gloves...the skin irritates your hands.  I cook it down and purée it and place it in zip lock freezer bags...some 2 cups and some 4 cups.

 

I use it in recipes for Thanksgiving, Christmas and throughout the winter months.  The taste of fresh is worth it for me.

 

I am sure your dog loves it from the can.  I have never tried giving my dogs pumpkin, but they do love Fruitables pumpkin dog treats.

Re: I Have a Confession to Make

I envy what I am sure are amazing aromas in your house during fall!

No matter how nice the one from a can might be, a great fresh one is sure to beat it.

 

I thought I'd add that I warm up her meals, unless it's a super hot day. I think it's nicer for her, and brings out the scent more.

 

Happy almost fall, @Carmie 

 

p.s  If you get a chance when it's time, maybe post pics of one of those pumpkin goodies. 🥧

A tall PSL  has 300 calories and 39 grams of sugar.

@Anonymous032819  Right, less. You can also ask for it skinny...skim milk, no whipped cream (can't remember if the regular comes with whipped ream).
