Are the Cheerios gluten free, at least?
According to the picture posted upthread they are.2 -

I think we have the pumpkin spice lattes in Starbucks (never tried them not a Starbucks fan) but I've never seen it anywhere else. Although I think I would like it. Pumpkins are generally only available the two weeks before Halloween. I have never had pumpkin pie. I really feel there should be a worldwide supermarket that sells the best foods from every culture.
Yes, Pumpkin culture, is very American (not that all Americans like Pumpkin of course). I'm American but live in Germany and had a Halloween party one year. I made pumpkin EVERYTHING. The people were afraid to even try it. (I understood, lol.) My husband who is German LOVES my baking, but it took him time to warm up to the pumpkin pie. He does like it, but he was traumatized as a kid because the only time he ever had pumpkin, it came picked in jars. (Yuck) My kids are half German half American. They love pumpkin pie. That's all that matters to me. That they got the pumpkin appreciation gene.
My husband is German too and absolutely refuses to eat any sweet incarnation of pumpkin. He says that's disgusting, pumpkin is a savory food and everyone knows it, except Americans apparently.
His loss in my opinion.

They are at Target. I saw them there last week. They were in the cookie aisle.
I got them last year @ Target too. They had them in the Halloween section as well as the cookie section last year.
They were just starting to set up the Halloween section last week when I was shopping at Target, but they were already in the cookie section.

I ate a whole box of Pumpkin Spice Frosted Mini-Wheat's last weekend. The whole box. In 2 days.3

The cheerios! I love them. My almost-three-year-old nephew doesn't eat ANYTHING. I offered him some of the cheerios and he turned his nose up. Then he saw me eating a bowl of them and brought his bowl over for a fill-up. I held my breath...
Two and a half bowls later, it's lunch time, and all he wants is those damn cheerios. Be still, my heart.
Also, I'm glad I don't have to eat this giant family-sized box by myself.
Did anyone notice that pumpkin is actually on the list of ingredients? Impressive. Usually, "pumpkin spice" means just that. Spice. Not pumpkin.3 -

Yes - I've finished 2 boxes, and have to go back and get a third. Man, I will miss these when they're gone.0 -

I just made a batch of pumpkin banana muffins yesterday, using fresh pumpkin that I had in my freezer. I tinkered with the recipe so that each muffin is about 120 cal. Not bad considering they contain real yummy butter and pecans.

My local Walmart already has Coffee Mate Pumpkin Spice liquid creamer available so I'm already living the pumpkin spice life. Usually appears there in late July.
I am really jealous of this as it is mid-September and my local grocery store still hasn't brought this back. I loved that the last couple of years!1 -

This is yummy stirred into pumpkin oatmeal.1 -
Growing up my mom was a devout believer in changing out her purse for the seasons. White or tan after memorial day, black or brown after Labor Day. I realize now that I have my own arbitrary rules to mark the seasons. No pumpkin spice anything until after Labor Day AND high temperatures less than 80 degrees (ideally less than 70 degrees but Missouri Indian Summers kill me so I'm bending to allow for more pumpkin spice enjoyment); and no peppermint anything till after Thanksgiving. Absolutely no Christmas talk, carols, or decorations before the Monday after Thanksgiving at the absolute earliest.
If I may continue my rambling about family, can I just say I'm thrilled that my 5 year old seems to have embraced the "PUMPKIN ALL THE THINGS!" tradition and keeps asking me when we can get pumpkin cream cheese and pumpkin butter and pumpkin munchkins from Dunkin Donuts and make pumpkin bread...5 -
Great idea about the pumpkin creamer in pumpkin oatmeal. I making a batch of steelcut pumpkin spice oatmeal this weekend, so I will try it. Sounds divine!
I forgot about the pumpkin spice cream cheese. I haven't seen it yet here (MN). So good!.juliebowman4 wrote: »

Are you willing to share the recipe? I make the ones with spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin, but would like to try your pumpkin-banana.

Went to Trader Joes at lunch and most of their pumpkin stuff is in. Picked up the Pumpkin Spice Cookie Butter to try. Noticed a lot of other things also.1
