Would have a really good recipe for pumpkin spice latte?
o
I use Pumpkin Spice Torani syrup also purchased at (sm)
Cash N Carry - I have a pump on the bottle and put a couple of squirts in - I only like light flavored pumpkin - but you could adjust depending on your preference. I put it in the milk before heating otherwise it cools it down too quickly. Great - now you are making me crave one too!! :)
I've never posted a recipe here, but these pumpkin spice muffins are the best and are absolutely
I was told it is a Weight Watcher's recipte.
one box spice cake mix
one small can (not the large can) pumpkin mix
half cup water
I made them for dinner last night (and breakfast this morning too) and my very picky family absolutely loved them and how simple is that. Just mix the three together. I used a mini muffin pan. The are the most moist muffins I have ever had. Hope you enjoy and, again, they aren't too bad for you either.
Canned pumpkin - not pumpkin pie filling but sm
take your mix, add 1 can (i think 15 oz?) and one cup of water. Mix and bake as usual. This is an old Weight Watchers friendly recipe and is about 100 calories per serving, high in fiber and DELICIOUS. Make great cup cakes too.
Just throw in some spice-like Hot Sauce....BAM it!
Everything nice...as in Sugar and Spice and...! good luck!

Starbucks is the best! SM
My husband and I have been buying our coffee there for years, and we love it. They are very good there, and they will give you samples of different coffees and recommend different kinds. They do have some very mild blends that you should ask them about.
I just had my favorite holiday drink from there this weekend; peppermint mocha. It's sooooo good!
I do not like Starbucks at all....
and I feel like the biggest coffee snob of all! I have both a Keurig and Tassimo single serve machine at home and a mini Keurig on my desk at work. After trying many different brands/coffees, I find I prefer Caribou Blend for the Keurig (uses K-cups) and Gevalia Signature Blend for the Tassimo (uses T-discs). Both of these have just the right balance, not too light, not too dark, and no bitterness/acidity. I cannot stand old coffee that has been sitting around and like the idea that I only need to make one cup at a time and it is fresh. Can you tell I'm a little obsessed with my coffee?

I don't think it is dangerous to travel anywhere there is a starbucks.
Latte
Any Starbucks lovers out there?
I am spending too much money on white chocolate mochas lately, and I'm wondering how I can make this myself. Obviously I need to get the expresso maker, but does anyone have a recipe or link to where I can get the stuff to make my own?
Dear Starbucks...
So sorry to hear you are having to close stores and layoff people due to the economy...Are you sure it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that your coffee is HORRIBLE, overpriced, your "baristas" (also known as plain old coffee servers) are ususally sullen, can't be bothered college kids, and most of your clientele are pretentious and think spending $5 bucks for a latte means they have money and are cool?
From the customer who goes to the OTHER coffee place because they are great!!
My favorite hot Starbucks drink is...
a grande soy pumpkin spice latte with no whip cream. I have acquired a taste for coffee though, so I can't really tell you if they have a strong coffee taste. Their frozen frappacino things don't taste much like coffee - my 11-year-old niece loves them and she obviously does not like coffee! I say try their smallest size (a tall) and see what you think of the hot lattes. The talls only have 1 shot of espresso and the mediums (grande) have 2 shots.
My favorite coffee drinks are the frozen coffees at Baskin Robbins. You can get whatever kind of ice cream you want mixed with their coffee mix - to die for. I only let myself get 1 or 2 a year though because they are very fattening and expensive. Ice Rages are also delicious cold coffee drinks, and you can get them almost anywhere. The cookies and cream flavor doesn't taste like coffee to me. mmmm, now I need to go and have a cup of coffee! Just an fyi in case you didn't know - a regular cup of coffee suposedly has about 135 mg of caffeine and a shot of espresso has about 35 mg. That's what I read in a magazine anyway, so a latte (with just 1 shot of espresso) is mostly milk with just a little bit of coffee.
Frrench vanilla latte nm
!
Try a latte but ask for half a shot sm
a small drink usually is one shot, a medium larger is usually two shots - you can actually ask for decaf espresso also - there are so many things you can ask for - just tell them at your local shop what you told us here and see what they suggest. A latte is a shot of espresso topped with milk and then foam, a mocha is chocolate milk, so I would stick with latte for now - there are also frozen drinks at Starbucks with no coffee in them at all - but cannot think of the name right off the top of my head - good luck!!
micky D's. Latte or espresso?

Hey.....here's a protest site for your latte...
http://www.bringbackmochafusion.com/
Try the Starbucks bottled drinks at various vendors.
Really good and I don't care for coffee at all.
I found a recipe for homemade latte that I will try.
You liked Diet Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper? I thought it tasted like dirt. But I feel your pain, also, on losing something you love. Most people didn't like Straight Up latte, too, but I loved it.
i didn't see the Straight Up Latte today :(
good luck with your search
straight up latte girl see inside
hey I know you said below that you tried your own version. I was going to reply but was afraid that you wouldn't see it way down there. Anyway....I like my coffee with 8 tablespoons of light cool whip. Nothing else. It's very good that way and may be similar to your latte. Let me know if you try it!
Folgers has discontinued its Cafe Latte line.
I LOVE Straight Up latte. I don't like anything else. I am so disappointed. I don't know how I am going to get through 2nd shift without a latte (or two). Every time I really like something it is discontinued, just like the Microsoft Natural Multimedia keyboard.
Starbucks coffee IS strong. Probably Breakfast Blend is weakest,

Yuck! Hate Starbucks...Must try Caribbean Coffee House!
Overpriced crap....Love Barnies but I live out in the sticks and we don't have either here, Just DD and MCD which both taste awful.
I just keep to my Maxwell House and a local coffee shop that makes the best expressos and cappucinos...mmm...rasberry mocha**drool**
My sis brought me back a box of coffee from The Caribbean Coffee House in Trinidad that was absolutely heaven! I highly recommend it for my fellow coffee connesiours! Can order it here: www.caribcoffee.com
Yup...got 2 for Abercrombie & Fitch, Starbucks, and a $100 American Express gift card
Love them all! I'm going shopping this weekend!
Yum - pumpkin . . .
Thanks for posting this. I'm going to try it, as I am always looking for recipes without eggs - my son is allergic to them. Recipes with pumpkin always seem to turn out the best and as you said - very moist.
Pumpkin pie
I was at the store the other day and they were baking pumpkin pies. It smelled sooo good. I've been dreaming about it ever since. If I make one I'll have to eat it by myself because no one else in the family likes them.
I love this time of year! It's cold outside, beef stew with corn muffins, football, pumpkin pie, the fireplace turned on. Just love it!
stuffed pumpkin
Anyone have a good recipe for stuffed pumpkin or anything that would go well with that type of menu? Stuck!
Thanks! I have one too for a pumpkin cheesecake.
I have tried many and this is the one my family begs me to bring for the holidays. It is the best! I use a little more cinnamon and nutmeg than recipe calls for.
INGREDIENTS:
2 8 oz. packages (16 oz. total) cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup pumpkin purée
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
2 large eggs
1 9-inch graham cracker pie crust
PREPARATION:
Combine cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar, vanilla, and spices; mix with a hand mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add eggs; mix until blended. Pour into graham cracker crust. Bake at 350° F for 35 to 45 minutes, or until set. Cool. Refrigerate at least 3 hours, or overnight.
Serve with whipped topping.
This recipe is not over the top sweet so the whipped topping really compliments it perfectly.
You have to try it!

Does anyone know how many points this is on WW?
Pumpkin disappoinment
...Know how you feel. I too got very excited and committed this year to doing an organic garden. I had my husband make me three raised beds, bought tons of organic soil, organic seeds for pumpkins, squashes, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots, you name it. I first read all the how to books on organic gardening. Everything was coming up beautifully - thick green vines for the pumpkins. Then in a flash, everything kind of shirveled up, got weird looking, and I wanted to cry. Turns out after much research on the net I find I had a destructive bug that infected all the squashes and pumpkins with bacterial wilt. I tried to save everything, but looks like I will only have two to four pumpkins this first year. What did I learn? I neglected to look up all the things that could go wrong - infectious virus, animals, bugs, sudden hot temperature, all the stuff that was not in the books I had bought. Now I am better armed, and next year, I will be well prepared for what can go wrong. Oh, there is a book you can buy on Amazon.com called How to Grow Pumpkins, and that book has everything. Don't give up, keep trying for next year. I know what you mean about spending a fortune to buy pumpkins. I do the same thing each year and had hoped I could save myself some money.

Send me one of those. LOL I get pumpkin pie
only if I buy it. DH doesn't like it.
lol gotta have that pumpkin pie!
that's great that your niece is doing that. I'm sure everyone will tell her how perfect they are, even if they are terrible. lol My 10yo "made" the pies this year. I just supervised. I was quite surprised he wanted to help. He was hesitant on making the pie crust and kept wanting me to finish it for him but I stood ground and told him he couldn't possible mess it up and that I wouldn't have given him the option if I thought he would fail. He's very proud of the pies now that they are done. Even said he'd like to try the pumpkin this year! I dont' think he's ever had a bite of pumpkin before.

My pumpkins are gone! I planted 4 pumpkin seeds in March sm
which grew up really nice and started to grow out like vines - got pretty white flowers in them which means the pumpkins would be coming out in a few weeks.
I haven't checked up on them all week because we've had plenty of rain so I haven't had to water them. I go today with my big bucket of water and there was only dirt left with holes. They dug them up and ate EVERYTHING - the stalks, flowers, everything! I am really upset.
I have 3 boys - 2 little ones, and we live in the country. Every year I spend about 80.00 on pumpkins decorating our porch, land, etc with pumpkins. I though I'd be a little more economical and plant seeds in the spring which cost a dollar so that I could have nice, ripe pumpkins, as many as I wanted - for the fall.
I'm thinking rabbits got them. We have indoor cat/dog so it wasn't my animals. I'm not sure what to do next spring. I'm not giving up. How can I keep animals from getting to them like that???
I want to cry.......I've been going out into the field and watching them grow..they were my babies..

6 pumpkin pies, 2 vinegar pies and a chocolate chiffon pie sm
So now that I have caught your attention...just what is a vinegar pie, you ask.
In the south, they are referred to as transparent pie. You will sometimes hear it called sweet and sour pie. It is good real cider vinegar, the kind with the mother at the bottom, brown sugar, white sugar, butter and eggs, a bit of flour. It is like water when you put in the shell. You bake it for an hour and it comes out about like the goo in a pecan pie with no nuts. It is not sour a bit, nor is it sickly sweet. It is sweet with a bit of an apple bite. The kids love it and when younger son is home for the holidays, he will devour one of them at a sitting. He literally comes in and sees the vinegar pie, takes one and says: So...what is everyone else having? The other son won't eat pumpkin or vinegar, so he has the chocolate chiffon. The rest of us are pumpkin eaters.
