I love fall and the taste of Pumpkin. I'm in heaven when Starbucks comes out with their Pumpkin Spice latte! Oh, just one pump please, it is much to sweet with two pumps.
Well believe it or not, weight watcher came out with a Pumpkin Spice creamer that has zero, yeah you read that right, zero points that is just wonderful. So wonderful that it made me think of Winnie! lol
So here I am, thinking about fall (and Winnie) while enjoying some pumpkin spice flavour decaf coffee! Yummy!
Are you all ready for fall? I sure am! Cheers! |

| Oh I'll have to see if I can find that. It will make feel so much less guilty. I thought fall was showing itself a couple of days ago but alas it was just a quick visit. |

Oh Carole, you know me well!! Yes, I love Starbuck's Pumpkin spice Lattes with just ONE pump of sweetener. Basically, I don't like sweet drinks and never add sugar or sweet creamers to my coffee. Instead, THIS is my all time FAVORITE fall coffee. Ohh, it is delicious!!!

Winnie, you and I do think alike! I too am not into sweet drinks nor do I cream my coffee. The WW product is a tad sweet but I use one packet per 16oz (It calls 1 packet per 8oz) and it's not to bad. BTW, the white you see in the cup is not the creamer but the coffee foam. I use an espresso machine (steam machine) to make my coffee. I just love that foam on top! Yummy!
That coffee does look yummy. Not sure we have the brand "Fresh Market" in my area. Where do you purchase this brand? |

| Winnie I love pumpkin Spice coffee, too. Is that from World Market or from somewhere else? The WM bag looks a bit different. |

Here is the Pumpkin Fudge recipe!
Pumpkin Fudge
These sweet little pumpkin fudge squares feature canned pumpkin, white chocolate, and marshmallow creme.
•Yield: Makes about 3 pounds
Southern Living
Ingredients
3 cups sugar
3/4 cup melted butter
2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/2 cup canned pumpkin
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1 (12-ounce) package white chocolate morsels
1 (7-ounce) jar marshmallow crème
1 cup chopped pecans, toasted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preparation
Stir together first 6 ingredients in a 3 1/2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat, and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until a candy thermometer registers 234° (soft-ball stage) or for about 12 minutes.
Remove pan from heat; stir in remaining ingredients until well blended. Pour into a greased aluminum foil-lined 9-inch square pan. Let stand 2 hours or until completely cool; cut fudge into squares.
Notes: Line pan with aluminum foil before you begin to cook the fudge. Once the candy thermometer reaches 234° and the remaining ingredients are added, quickly spoon the fudge into the pan.
Farmgirl Hugs! Connie

| Ladies, here in the Lone Star state we have a place that has some of the best flavored coffees around. My former favorite was Mexican Vanilla. Last fall my DIL gave me a 2# bag of South Texas Pecan...to die for! (she purchased it at our local kitchen gadgets and pretties store, but everyone loves it and they are always out when I look, so I order. My husband, who had never even tried flavored coffee, loved it. Needless to say we have used it and two more bags. I need to order more. The source is fredericksburg-coffee.com It is located in Fredericksburg, Texas. Of course they also have other flavors, all are good. |

| I'll have to check on that site. Thanks, Marilyn. I don't drink regular coffee - only flavored. I DO use creamers, though, which I guess true coffee drinkers would cringe at. |

| Linda I use cream or creamer also. Coffee straight does not always get along with my tummy. |

| Love that, Connie. I don't think Fall is here - it was in the high 80s and low 90s again here. UGH! |

Yes, so very true Connie.
Loved hearing about the coffee Marilyn. I can't drink coffee. It makes me sick. Even the smell of coffee does that to me. Can't stand to go down the fresh ground coffee isle in groceries stores. Ya I know most people love the smell. Including my daughter. When she was at home I let her make all the coffee she wanted. Lol, I managed.
I think I will check out the site for a gift of coffee for her for Christmas.
Well I would love to stay longer, but the tomatoes here on the table beside me are calling. Guess, I will go for now. Have a great day everyone! |
Farm Girl Hugs,
Brenda

| We are still warm. Lower 90s in the day time and lower 70s at night. Some leaves are turning, the sunflowers and red salvia are putting on a show. The hens are laying better...all signs of fall. We are sometimes hot way up in October. Remember, they say that if you don't like the weather in Texas...just wait a minute...because it will change. Suntan in January and February??? Sure. Some years our seasons seem confused. |
