    I have a co-worker who makes a pumpkin cake that I love, but I don't know the calories and I have to scrape the cream cheese icing off of it. I wanted to try this recipe for something similar but much healthier. I made it tonight and OH MY GOODNESS!! So good, not as sweet as the co-worker's cake, and more of a muffin texture - this made it even better!!

    I used 1 egg so my nutrition values were slightly different, but I put everything into the my recipe section and voila! I couldn't find my muffin tin either so I had to make a sheet "cake" and cut it into 24 squares (it also had to cook a bit longer). No matter though, I had a piece with homemade vegetable soup tonight and I'm going to have another piece in the morning for breakfast.

    Thanks so much for sharing!!!

    Let's really give Starbucks a run for their money shall we?? Their new pumpkin spice latte is back...seriously...just walking by Starbucks and seeing the picture of it on the door makes my mouth water....but it is a ridiculous amount of calories, sugar, and carbs for a tall...pair that with the pumpkin loaf...YIKES!!!

    So...I found this recipe on how to make a homemade pumpkin spice latte...it is much, much healthier for you, delicious and it won't cost you an arm and a leg! http://www.frugaldreamer.com/?p=499

    1/4 Tsp of pumpkin pie spice (more/less to your liking)
    1/2 Cup of strong brewed coffee

    In a saucepan, combine milk, canned pumpkin, and sugar

    Cook on medium heat, stirring until steaming (NOT boiling)

    Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and pumpkin spice seasoning

    Whisk mixture until frothy

    Pour mixture into mug and add coffee

    Since I won't get out of the house until this weekend (Central PA is flooded!), I'm going to ask.... do these taste anything like Dunkin Donut's Pumpkin Muffins? I've been craving one of theirs, but they're loaded with calories!
