So sorry for you guys and gals that don't have pumpkin things available. Pumpkin spice is such a delight!. I love Starbucks but I hate to pay the price for it! I've seen some recipes for a creamer that you make yourself without any artificial ingredients, so I'm going to try it, because I would love to have some that I can incorporate into my calorie goal for the day! And I'm going to Trader Joe's today to see what I can find, my mouth can't wait!1

Picked up a couple of these last night, along with a tub of ricotta, and a couple cans of pumpkin puree. I've made cottagecheesecakes before (cottage cheese blended smoonth, add cheesecake pudding, lemon juice, and vanilla, enjoy). Going to try with ricotta and pumpkin puree this time. I'll let you know how it goes!
Wait what? explain or post the full how to
Cottage Cheesecake
1 16oz container of cottage cheese (fat % your choice)
2 boxes of cheesecake pudding (mix only)
1 tbps of lemon juice
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Blend cottage cheese until smooth, transfer to mixing bowl and add liquids and both boxes of pudding mix. You will need a hand mixer to get this incorporated as it is very stiff. When it sets, it will be very stiff and almost gel like. Use less pudding mix if you want a creamier texture. I scoop with s 2 ounce ice cream scoop into aluminum foil cupcake liners. They are great refrigerated, but I also recommend freezing! I've also done chocolate pudding and cheese cake pudding and added chocolate chips. Very tasty.

Mmmmm pumpkin. I have a pumpkin curry soup recipe that is to die for.
Sounds awesome if you care to share.
I made a truly awful pumpkin spice protein fluff last year. Gakk. The worst part is I shared it with my daughter, and now I have totally ruined her on protein powder in anything. She can taste it a mile away and just gags. I retired from pumpkin spice creations and wasn't tempted to this thread until it had 185 comments. There's hope, but my confidence is shaken.0 -

I've done that using ricotta instead of cottage cheese. It is pretty tasty (to be honest, I just do single servings).0 -

He's pretty hilarious. Also a huge pumpkin aficionado... I mean what five year old gets a pumpkin spice shake when they have M&M and birthday cake flavors?
I chose the S'mores flavor from the seasonal menu and it was also quite tasty...
I don't think my 4 year old can even think past a M&M flavored anything. Or that the only 2 places to eat in the world is chickfila and mcdonalds.0 -

My Italian heritage failed me! I had no idea this existed! Lemon ricotta sounds divine!0 -

I haven't, but cottage cheese is just too salty for me, I think it would taste a bit weird.0 -

Which yogurts did you try? I thought the Dannon Light and Fit was just ok, but the Oikos pumpkin pie was actually pretty tasty.0 -
Ricotta pumpkin cheesecake is a success! I'm well aware this looks like baby food, but it tastes pretty darn good!
Ingredients
7.5 ounces lowfat ricotta
4 ounces pumpkin puree
1 box pumpkin spice pudding(mix only)
1 tsp vanilla extract
I divided into four 105 gram servings at 156 calories each.

Not sure if anyone posted this yet but yoplait has pumpkin cheesecake Greek 100 yogurt and it was AMAZING! I'm not a big pumpkin trying person except when it comes to pumpkin bagels, but I love that yogurt!2

Was out shopping and found Vachon pumpkin flakie. I didn't need it, but I bought a box for reasons.0

There are always Reasons! I love their raspberry flakies, although I don't have them often now, but I've never seen pumpkin - I'll have to look around!
Still can't find any Tassimo pumpkin spice latte T-Discs. So sad.
But! I bought a pumpkin pie a couple of days ago that was reduced, and my family doesn't want any so it's all for meeee!! I sliced it up and put most of it in the freezer so I can have a piece when I want to/can fit it in, but I think I'm going to see if I can snag another one before they stop stocking them. (Being English, I'd never had pumpkin pie before I emigrated. It just wasn't A Thing. But I tried it here, and as long as it doesn't have a strong flavour of cloves then I love it!) 1 -
I baked my first pumpkin pies in idk how long, 20 years maybe.
Here are the Vachon Passion Flakies:

Think Thin pumpkin spice bar is 150 calories and very tasty. Mfp won't load my picture.0

Just an FYI. I've taken to sprinkling a little bit of pumpkin pie spice in my cup when I'm brewing tea. If you use pre-mixed pumpkin pie spice, Trader Joe's Pumpkin pie spice is SOOOOOO much better tasting than McCormick's.
They only have it available this time of year. I am going to buy enough to last me all year and store it in the freezer. It would probably be really tasty stirred into oatmeal or coffee grounds before brewing too.3 -

Giant usually carries this brand during Christmas! I'll have to check to see if they get the Pumpkin Spice flavor in.0 -
My wife brought home a box of Special K - pumpkin spice. I prefer my pumpkin spice in pie, but the cereal would be better for me.0

My daily dietary crime has become a pumpkin spice chai latte.0

I have not had it, but a friend on here absolutely loves it.snowflake930 wrote: »I can hardly wait for fall and pumpkin spice.
I just read that Cheerios is coming out with pumpkin spice soon!

Now I want pumpkin something. I did have pumpkin spice birthday cake Muscle Butter in my oatmeal this morning. It is good, but not my favorite pumpkin thing. This time of the year my husband goes out of his way to get me pumpkin spice goodies and I buy as much candy corn for him as I can.0

Not necessarily pumpkin spice, but the new Trader Joe's fall harvest salsa is DELICIOUS. I'm also really digging the Teavana pumpkin spice chai.0

Also, to all the Europeans: I lived in England for four years, and I will say that the Brits tended to nosh on my pumpkin pie more than anyone else! You may not really have pumpkin spice or chocolate peanut butter combos, but you have it right with the chocolate orange!1

Maybe I'm getting old but pumpkin spice is a screamingly easy blend.
Don't tell me they don't have this in the UK because our ancient family recipe for fruit cake is a mix of the selfsame spices. It's the same mix in mincemeat pie (skip the ginger).1 -

So, for me, Pumpkin Spice Twinkies are a "yes," Little Debbie Pumpkin Spice Cake Rolls are an "almost" (great on flavor, rough on calories), and I really hope Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts come out again. The flavor of those is good enough that I'll spare the calories. Pumpkin Spice Cheerios... I'm not into cereal, but those are great. They also have pumpkin as an ingredient. That always impresses me when everything else is just spiced and orange/brown colored.0
