It's Fall!

If you're like me, your Facebook feed is saturated with posts about the pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. Now, I LOVE pumpkin anything and often think about starting a petition to make it more than just a seasonal flavor, but I hate Starbucks' burnt-tasting coffee and obnoxious prices, so I headed to my pantry to play Copykitty!


Ingredients needed:
2 cups of milk (any, I used skim, but try it with almond milk!)
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tbs. pure vanilla extract
3 tbs. sugar (I used Splenda)
3 tbs. canned pumpkin 2 shots espresso (coffee works just fine too)


Add all ingredients to a sauce pot and bring to a boil. Wisk well.


Remove from heat and pour into your favorite mug. Top it off with your espresso.
This is my little buddy. I LOVE my French press. I use it daily from making the perfect cup of joe or a quick glass of iced tea. My espresso is from a local coffee company. It's so cheap! 2.19 for a 1/4 pound!
My current favorite mug is this gorgeous blue one made by Mr. S' very talented aunt Mary. Her pottery is incredible.


By skipping Starbuck's ridiculous prices I had a bit of extra cash in my pocket. I snagged an incredible find at the Goodwill.


These beauties are both made by Nine West. . They were an absolute steal at 2.99 a pair!
