Pumpkin review #2

Some of my favorite things about Fall are the cooler weather, the changing leaves, the general color spectrum - deep reds, purples, copper and brown tones, the clothes - hoodies, sweaters and boots...and of course, the food. Things made with cinnamon and nutmeg, a whole variety of squash, which includes (you guessed it) pumpkin!

I love all things pumpkin. Well...most things. I doubt I'd enjoy a pumpkin and kale, well anything. But all the (other) pumpkin flavored food choices make me very happy. The Pumpkin Spice Latte (#PSL) was my first pumpkin-y review of the season...and here's round 2.

Scooter's Pumpkin Pie Smoothie (I added a shot of espresso, which was brilliant!) is my current favorite of the season. According to the advertising, it has "real pumpkin pie filling," which gives it a leg up on most other things that only use syrups and flavoring. Another item with real pumpkin is Culver's Pumpkin Spice Shake, which is basically ice cream, pumpkin and cinnamon...and is amazing.

 So go out, enjoy the weekend and something pumpkin-y! If you find a favorite, please comment and share what it is, so the rest of us have a chance to enjoy it as well! :)

TGIF and have a great weekend!

Song of the day: I love Amy Lee and Evanescence. "My Immortal" is amazing and has been on my favorites list for years.  "Hello" comes in close second. But the Amy Lee song that pops up most often on Pandora is one she did in collaboration with Seether - "Broken." He has a solo version that's really good too, but the version with Amy Lee is better (in my humble opinion).
