Pumpkin Spice Stuff

[amaranth]

It seems like "pumpkin spice" is now synonymous with fall for almost all food and drink companies. I don't get why they can't be more creative.

Do you like any of it? There are flavored coffees, chais, chocolates, ciders, cookies, doughnuts, and more.

I love pumpkin. Loooooooooove.
Especially pumpkin bread and pumpkin lattes.

I don't go pumpkin crazy, but by the end of every summer I'm ready for pumpkin latte time.

I do love pumpkin bread, made with real pumpkin. In my mind that's different. I hate pumpkin pie and all the fake flavored things.

Have you ever had a pumpkin roll? It's pumpkin bread/cake rolled up with cream cheese filling. Sooo good!

I like pumpkin bars and pumpkin pie blizzards but that's about it. I tried the pumpkin spice latte finally this year and it was just ok. I think I need to get one at Caribou, they are always better but yeah I'm not the biggest pumpkin fan and don't really get the hype!

I love real pumpkin bread or pumpkin rolls. I don't care for pumpkin spice lattes or everything else. I don't hate it, its just not my favorite. I prefer winter flavors like peppermint.

I love peppermint everything! I also get obsessed with coconut and chocolate during the cold months.

I like real pumpkin pie, but otherwise I'm not a big fan of pumpkin-flavored things. My usual hot drinks in winter are cocoa or chamomile tea with honey and lemon.

I love pumpkin flavor, always have way before it was trendy. I love that there is a variety of stuff available now but I don't usually go too overboard (I have had one PSL and it very well may be the only one I get all fall) Some things I see in the store just sound gross, like pumpkin jello.

I hate pumpkin pie. I make pumpkin oatmeal cookies that I think are yummy. At Costco I also sampled a pumpkin cake that was really good. I don't like any of the drinks or anything else, though.

I have always loved pumpkin flavored things, but as I get older I am picker with what I like. 

I do have some pumpkin hot cocoa that is pretty tasty.

I bought it at Sam's in a big variety pack.

I love pumpkin! Pumpkin latte, pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice cookies, pumpkin beer, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pancakes, and pumpkin rolls...I would probably try it if it has pumpkin in it! But we aren't even to Thanksgiving yet and I'm pretty done on pumpkin beer (and have been for a good two weeks now). I'm sure by the end of the month I will be good on all things pumpkin until next year (and I really haven't had much pumpkin yet outside of beer and a latte).

Yes....to a point though.  I love pumpkin muffins with the cream cheese filling in the center.  I however am not a fan of the coffee drinks, they're too sweet.

[wanderingenough]

I'm like luv2rn4fun. I love all things pumpkin. The only stuff I've had this season though is pumpkin muffins.

Yummmmmmmmmmm, pumpkin roll. 
H is obsessed with pumpkin pie. He will eat an entire Costco pie over a single weekend. I think he's already had three or four of them this year.

I like pumpkin things, but I'm also not a fan of all the fake pumpkin flavoring.

We had a pumpkin plant in our garden this year so I purred and froze it. So I've been making things with it slowly. (I have like 50+ cups frozen, I froze them in 1 cup increments.)

So any recipes you ladies have I would love to try something new.

I'm a pumpkin spice scrooge...can I post this here?

Last night I made Pumpkin Sage Ravioli with real pumpkin puree. It was delicious. I didn't follow a recipe, but basically the sauce was butter, onion, heavy whipping cream, sage, basil, and balsamic vinegar. Let me know if you want a better idea of quantities.
