Suddenly, my standard cup of drip coffee seems so bland. Great recipes, Mickie! I can't wait to try your version of the pumpkin spice latte, as the Starbucks one is a little too intense for me. And knowing that apple cider is just around the corner makes me giddy!
ReplyDeletePS - Love the photos :)
ReplyDeleteYum, these sound GODLIKE! :-) Thanks Mickie, can hardly wait to try the pumpkin one! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for these recipes. You wouldn't believe it but on this very cool ND morning I was actually dreaming about a pumpkin spice latte from the Starbucks at the Barnes and Noble here in town!
ReplyDeleteMmmm, I love a warm drink in my mug too! It was the sign for the Pumpkin Spice Latte at the local coffe shops that inspired this blog post. I love coffee and pumpkin, so it's a magical combination!
ReplyDeleteIs there a button to print these out to keep on the shelf at home? Also, I'm going to have to order me another pumpkin fairy mug. I gave mine to a friend who had a fit over it when she saw it. :)
