So, friends, is it pumpkin season or not? I've seen on Facebook where some friends have actually had their first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season. I'm wanting one, but it's just not quite cold enough yet. What about you? Have you had a pumpkin treat yet, and if not, are you waiting for a particular weather or calendar event? Lord willing, I'll be going up to Wisconsin to visit family soon, and I have a feeling the cooler temps there will help speed up the arrival of my "fall."
I do love all the pumpkin treats of fall, so I was inspired to search old blog posts for pumpkin recipes. If you're looking for a new one to try, here are some I've enjoyed!
I'm wishing for Fall. Your pumpkin walnut tea bread is my favorite fall recipe. Southern California is still experiencing East Coast HOT humid weather - last weekend we were still having 110 hot humid weather that was still 94 and humid at 9:00 at night. Now it's switched to low 80's and humid with desperately needed rain yesterday and today. Supposed to go up in the 90s again. No fall in sight but hopefully soon.
ReplyDeleteWe had a brief hint of fall here (two days), but summer is back and I'm like you, not quite ready for a Pumpkin Latte. I did note that Fresh Market had its pumpkin roll in the bakery. I almost brought one home and talked myself out of that yumminess!
ReplyDeleteI am waiting for the pumpkin macaroons to hit Trader Joes in CA!
ReplyDeleteIt's always pumpkin season. Am I the only one who loves a cold slice of yummy homemade pumpkin pie with a dollop of heavy cream whipped up for a topping? I love it year 'round.
ReplyDeleteIt's going to get cooler tonight, yay. I love autumn and love cooler temps. Hugs.
We had a bit of a 'cool' front blow through Texas last week, so I made pumpkin bread - so I think pumpkin season has definitely started for me. And I'm sure I'll have my first PSL of the season before too many more days pass :-) !
ReplyDeleteLOL! I saw the the title of your blog post on my blog, and thought I'd come over and chime in with my opinion, but then after reading your post, decided you might already *know* my opinion! :D Thanks for the links to all the pumpkin treats!! :)
ReplyDeleteHa, Denise! You are indeed one of the friends who inspired today's post! ;) I am feeling a wee bit chilly this afternoon, so I do believe my first PSL is getting closer!
DeleteI had another one this morning . . . my boss just returned from Romania (mission trip) and treated us to lattes this morning. I'm afraid it's becoming a habit! :)
DeleteLove everything pumpkin - and yes - can't wait for Fall! I must try your pumpkin bread recipe -- one of my favorites. I just made pumpkin muffins (just a spice cake mix and about 1/2 a can of pumpkin - no eggs - no oil etc! Mini muffins sometimes add golden raisins -- kids love them too! Yummy!
ReplyDeleteAt the beginning of the week, the temperatures dropped to the low 40s but now we're back to the 80s.
ReplyDeleteI had my first pumpkin spice frapp from Starbucks this afternoon!
Any time after Sept 1 is "fall" for me, whether or not if is official. And anytime anyone wants pumpkin treats is ok with me, too.
ReplyDeleteI so look forward to fall, when the pumpkin recipes come out, I'm 'in!'. Thanks, Angela for sharing your wonderful and - Happy fall to you! Joanie
ReplyDeleteFunny, but I saw a can of pumpkin at the market yesterday and almost bought it. Then I said to myself it is not quite pumpkin season, but yes I do believe it is. I must by some pumpkin for bread and get a pumpkin spice chai latte soon.
ReplyDeleteI've had 2 of the pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks and have already baked a new recipe for tarts. I was thinking I might have a pumpkin theme tea soon so will browse the links you shared.
ReplyDeleteI have not had any pumpkin stuff yet. But as soon as I get to Trader Joe's I'll buy a jar of their pumpkin butter (assuming it's out). So tasty.
