Pumpkin everything!!

It seems to me that the delious flavors of pumpkin are unpopular this year. But whyyyyy??? 

Its just not fall without a little pumpkin everything!

I typically do a big deal family breakfast on Saturdays that includes pancakes and eggs.

Being that it's fall, I was looking for something a little fun this week. Pumpkin pancakes crossed my mind but then I found this yummy recipe on pinterest. It was a big hit with my family. 

Ingredients:

12 pieces of whole wheat toast

3 eggs

½ cup milk

¾ cup pumpkin puree

1 tsp pumpkin spice

Butter and syrup

Instructions are to:

Mix all ingredients together in a medium size bowl. Dip bread slice in and cook on a hot griddle or pan. Flipping after 1-2 minutes.

What goes great with breakfast?? Coffee!

So with all the hype on Starbucks not having any actual pumpkin in the syrup for their famous pumpkin spice lattes and the fact that I can't afford to spend $10+ a day on yummy coffee, I decided to search the interwebs for a recipes that I could make at home. I found this one at www.freshaprilflours.com.

The recipe calls for:

½ cup of brown sugar

½ cup of water

2 tbl spoons of pumpkin puree

1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

½ cup of half n half or milk

Instructions are to:

In a small sauce pan over medium heat, stir together the brown sugar, wayer, pumpkin & pie spice. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to cool for a couple minutes.

Add cream.

Now add to coffee. Yum!!

This can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
