#NationalPumpkinDay

Pumpkin Spice Latte

Happy #NationalPumpkinDay!

It seems like everywhere I turn, there’s something pumpkin flavored or pumpkin spiced something. I used to think this was such a novelty, but now it’s almost overboard! I’m admittedly a huge pumpkin-spice latte fan, from Starbucks. I went to get one at the beginning of the season though, and it was $6. $6. $6! For a coffee.

I thought that in honor of #NationalPumpkinDay it’d be appropriate to give you all a homemade pumpkin spice latte recipe that you can make on your own for considerably less money.

This recipe, from Betty Crocker, makes 10 servings of pumpkin spiced lattes! Perfect recipe to finish a fall dinner party and serve with dessert.

In a slow cooker, mix the following ingredients, and whisk until well combined: 5 cups strong brewed coffee, 4 cups milk (2% or whole), 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream. 1/4 cup canned pumpkin, 1/3 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice. Cover and cook on high for 2 hours, stirring once after the first hour.

THAT IS IT. Serve in mugs and top with whipped cream if desired!

How amazing is that? So easy, all inexpensive ingredients, and made in a slow cooker, no less – couldn’t be easier or less expensive. Enjoy!

Yankee Candle: Buy 2, Get 2

Yankee Candle

I don’t know about you, but the second the temperatures start to cool down, I love feeling cozy in my home. More than that, I love lighting candles that reflect the season. That Christmas tree smell over the holidays? To die for!

Maybe you aren’t aware (I wasn’t) but Yankee Candle has some really awesome FALL scents as well. Being that this is my favorite season, official today, I NEED to try these.

Here’s the new fall scents:

  • Autumn In The Park
  • Brandy Pear Tart
  • Cranberry Twist
  • Sugar and Spice

Coincidence that there are 4 scents? I think not. Yankee Candle is running a deal through September 27th, where if you buy two candles, you get two free! You can print this coupon and use this deal in-store, or you can shop online and use the promo code: 4FALL.

Let us know what you think! I can’t wait!
