    As far as pumpkin spice lattes go I've found that a decent subsititute is Starbucks blonde roast, one pump pumpkin spice, one pump sugar free cinnamon dolce, and a splash of milk (I use half and half because of the carb count, but obviously skim will keep calories lower). My version this morning logged as 74 calories, 6 carbs, 3 fat, 5 sugar.

    OK, I'll be very bad and add this recipe:


    Pumpkin Pie Martinis

    1/2 cup brown sugar
    2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice - divided
    1/2 cup water
    2 tablespoons granulated sugar
    2 cups half and half - I use fat-free
    4 tablespoons pumpkin puree
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla
    1/2 cup vanilla vodka

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar, 1 teaspoon of the pumpkin pie spice, and the water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Heat to boiling. Remove from heat and cool completely. This is the syrup.

    On a shallow plate, mix together the granulated sugar and the remaining teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice.

    On another shallow plate, pour out 2 tablespoons of the syrup. Rim your martini glasses by dipping them into the syrup, then into the sugar mixture on the other plate.

    In a pitcher, combine the half and half, pumpkin puree, vanilla, and vodka. Stir briskly with a whisk. Add the remaining syrup and whisk it again.

    Shake with ice and serve in the rimmed glasses.


    Eye-popping good! :drinker:


    I think I love you..

    Have you tried the Pumpkin ice cream? I think Edy's brand... It's AMAZING!!!
    I've been loving Eggo's seasonal pumpkin waffles lately... 100 calories each.

    Say what?! ^ This exists? I have to find these in our area. I also did not know Hersey's made pumpkin Kisses but I saw them on Pinterest so I must find those as well. I absolutely LOVE almost everything pumpkin. Culver's pumpkin shakes are to die for. (none of which, I do realize, are very dietetic...lol)

    Target in my area carries the pumpkin kisses. I only ever see them in the fall and they sell out quickly (at least around here) so get them while you can. They are wonderful!

    I have yet to find the Pumpkin Eggos, so if someone comes across them, let us know where!!

    Add some canned pumpkin to your wholegrain pancakes with a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg. Great with a drizzle of maple syrup.

    This sounds so yummy! I bet I can get the kids to eat the whole grain pancakes this way!!
