{Fall With} Us

prego pics - sissy

Aren't these about the cutest darned pictures ever??  Meet my prego sissy.  The one I made the shower cake for.  She had a super talented photographer who got the most awesome pictures of her pregoness.  

date night

Thats right folks - we spent an entire 3 hours, just us.  It was everything we wanted it to be. The world was ours  - and what did we do for our escape away from our precious little handsomes?  We ate yummy food and took pictures of the fall moon.  Ok so lately when we have date nights we are trying the "new" thing - Maaaaybe you've done it - but its new to us.   If you havent tried it, you should -  its pretty awesome.  So we ventured to West Chester and ate at Kildares Irish pub - had a our entree and a drink.  This place is super cute reminds me of an old Irish stone village home or something.  Then we went to Doc Magrogans and ate an appitizer and then our desserts.  Puts a spin on the typical date night hmm hmm.  You outta try it it may just knock your socks off.

its fall for sure

And of course that means:

1.  Its almost Christmas

2.  Its almost Christmas

3.  Pumpkin spice latte's are now available at Starbucks!!

So i decided that rather then driving myself mad picturing the next time i could get my hands on a yummy pumpkin spice latte at Lots' o Bucks…as with anything else I eat and love i tried to make my own and i have to say, friends it was FAB- U-LOS.  In that wow i cant believe i made this kind of way.  

So here is how its done class:

• 1 level tablespoon pumpkin puree (canned)
• 1 cup milk (I used almond - thats what we have in our house)
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 2 cups strong coffee (brewed using 2 tbs per 1 cup of water - or you can do it the "lets be quick about this!" way and brew it in your brewing station uing the low amount setting)
  You can also use a shot or two of espresso instead of coffee.
• Sugar to taste
• Whipped cream

Heat the milk pumpkin puree, spices, and vanilla all in a cup in the microwave for 1 minute.  Using a frother, froth the milk mixture blending all ingredients.  (or use a blender.)

For each serving: Pour 1/2 cup of the pumpkin mixture into your coffee mug then add 1 cup of brewed coffee. Top it off with some whipped cream and sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice.  Viola!

Now go make yourselves a little treat, on me.  And share the love with a friend…
