Pumpkin Spice Creamer

Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year.  One of the things I look forward to the most are the delicious pumpkin spice lattes and coffee creamers!  Mmmm...so good!  So I thought I would try to make my own pumpkin spice coffee creamer.  The upside to the homemade version is it has 5 ingredients! Much easier to read then the ingredients on the label of some other coffee creamers.  The downside is it really should be used within a week. 

Ingredients:
Organic Whole Milk
1 pint Organic Light cream
Sugar
Pumpkin puree in a can (organic if possible)
Pumpkin pie spice

First I mixed 2 cups of milk with 1 pint (2cups) of light cream.  Next I added 1/4 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup pumpkin puree, and 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice.  I stirred with a whisk, and Done! 



Now brew a cup of your favorite coffee and add as much as you like!  You could really add more sugar and pumpkin pie spice to your own taste!  I just kept adding until I thought it was good, that is how I got amounts above!  Then make something delicious to eat with your Pumpkin Spice Coffee.



I made these delicious  cinnamon chip scones that I had in the freezer.  I will be making more for the freezer soon and will share that wonderful recipe as well!  Yumm!

Giant Hoho (Swiss Cake Roll)

So my dad has always been a big fan of devil dogs and Swiss Cake Rolls so my mom had the great idea to make him a giant Hoho this year for his birthday.  After looking up ideas in cookbooks I decided to jump on Pinterest and found this wonderful step by step recipe.
