This time of year I love ALL things Pumpkin! Eating, Seeing, and Smelling! Here are a few of my Favorites!
The Pumpkin Spice foam pump soap that sits right next to the kitchen sink.
Clean hands, a great smell, and it has a seasonal look! Perfect! Everyone in the house loves this delicious smelling soap! (TJ Maxx $4.99)
Spiced Pumpkin Yankee Candle on a cool evening!
Yup, it sure smells like Fall to me. Go out and buy one for yourself! You'll be thinking Autumn Harvest, Pumpkin Pie, and the smell of dry leaves in no time! Dunkin Donuts Pumpkin Muffins!
A Managers Special available for a limited time only. Believe me, these are incredibly good! Especially with a cup of coffee ; ) Speaking of coffee . . .
International Delight Pumpkin Pie Spice Coffee Creamer
As soon as I saw this in the store I grabbed it right up and tossed it in the shopping cart! I like a little coffee in the afternoon to warm me up and give me a second wind. In the fall Pumpkin Pie Spice Creamer is the perfect flavor for a chilly afternoon. Like the muffins, it's only available for a limited time. Enjoy it while you can!
Pumpkin Spice Flax TLC bars
Kashi Rocks! I love these granola bars! Healthy, nutritious and delicious ... the perfect snack! Little Debbie Pumpkin Delights
No nutrition here, but I still love 'em! We've already gone through a box of these little yummy treats. Kind of spicy, like gingerbread, but still delicious!
One-Pie Pumpkin or Squash filling
Never heard of it before? That's probably because you don't live in New England. There's no better pie filling out there. Made in West Paris, Maine by the One Pie Canning Co., their stuff is the best! Unfortunately I have to settle for Libby's on occasion, but I'm not happy about it. My mom has purchased One-Pie since I was a little girl and hated Pumpkin Pie. Good thing I grew up to enjoy the best of the best!
Pumpkin Squares: If you have little kids they would love these as a snack! You will love them because they aren't too sweet and they're super-duper easy to make : )
Pumpkin Squares2 Cups Flour
1- 2/3 Cup Confectionary Sugar
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Baking Soda
Dash of Salt
2 teaspoons Cinnamon
2 Tablespoons Wheat Germ (optional, but I add it to almost all my baked goods for added nutrition)
Stir dry ingredients well. Add:
4 Eggs (slightly beaten)
1 Cup Oil (I use mostly Apple Sauce with about a Tablespoon Canola Oil)
1 - 16 oz. Can of Pumpkin
Mix all well. Pour into a greased 10x15 in. pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25-30 minutes. Top with Cream Cheese Icing (I keep it easy with canned, or you can use the recipe below)
1 - 3 oz. container Cream Cheese
1/2 Cup Margarine or Butter
1 teaspoon Vanilla
1-1/2 Cup Confectionary Sugar
Mix all well. Frost. Enjoy!
And lets not forget, Pumpkin Pie, Pumpkin Soup (which I have yet to find a good recipe for), Pumpkin Seeds, and Pumpkin Bread! Oh Great Pumpkin, you rule my senses in the Fall!
