Georgia It was my week to choose the food challenge and as per my norm I asked the hubs what he would like and. He said pumpkin spice. Like he's ever had anything pumpkin spice. But I like pumpkin spice and actually had several ideas of what I'd like to make. Sadly with Randy starting back to work this past week it changed our domestic dynamics. (ie I had to start doing more things around the house) I did however make these keto bagels (stop back by tomorrow for the recipe). I made a fairly basic recipe, not adding anything to them. Because they were simple I decided to make a flavorful cream cheese for them. I saw this as the perfect place to add my pumpkin spice. I winged it on the recipe.
JenI thought I would be clever this week and combine this week’s theme with the one before that I missed! “Pear pumpkin spice cake” is like a pineapple upside-down cake essentially. It’s pretty tasty, but it was a pain to make, so I doubt I will do this one again. And I prefer my pineapple cake anyway AmyIt's Pumpkin Spice Everything season! Woo hoo! If only the crisp Autumn weather would stick around. I decided to search for a savory pumpkin spice dish. It took a bit of searching on the world wide web for just the right dish. At last I found this delightful breakfast bowl. Spicy, savory and relatively healthy. While the original recipe is dairy and meat free I adjusted slightly because I was unable to find vegetarian breakfast links ( I used turkey sausage links instead) and I prefer cheese in my grits. I had some smoked gouda that I diced and tossed in to melt. Otherwise I stayed true to the recipe in using unsweetened almond milk and an avocado based spread. And since I had cheese in my grits I decided to pass on the toast. Also, I made my own pumpkin spice because I often find the premade spice to contain more nutmeg than I prefer. Pumpkin Spice Grits Breakfast Bowl "I'm so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers." L.M. Montgomery Anne of Green Gables NikitaThis week, Pumpkin Spice was on the menu! Fall has arrived. The weather just dipped into the 70s as the high, and we can start opening our windows to bring in the cool crisp air. I heart this time of year! Starbucks launches their Pumpkin Spice Lattes, but I don't drink coffee (It's gross!) One time, I ordered a Pumpkin Spice Latte not realizing they would put espresso in it, and I swear it sprayed out of my mouth the moment it touched my tongue. Yuck! The Starbucks barista was kind enough to make me what I now know as a Pumpkin Spice Steamer. It's essentially warm milk with their pumpkin flavoring in it, and it's almost $5.00 for the tall. I'm pretty good with a sauce pan and range, so I figured I can handle warming some milk. But instead of adding syrup flavoring, I added real pumpkin, vanilla, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Christopher took a sip and his eyes rolled into the back of his head. Yes, it's THAT good. Takes 10 minutes and saves you dollars. You're welcome. Pumpkin Spice everything makes fall oh so delicious..
Love how Jen managed a twofer on this one. Melding last weeks pears with this weeks pumpkin spice. And for reals, whoever would've thought about pumpkin spice grits. And if Nikita's pumpkin spice steamers gets the almost teenager's approval it must be delish. Pumpkin spice really is the flavors of fall. Until next week, Georgia, Jen, Amy and Nikita
