I've been a little slow at posting on my blog this summer. We've had the wedding of our son, our beloved grandson Xavier to smother in hugs and kisses and are simply goofing off now. Most of the summer, Joe has been working on projects for friends and neighbors. He's a handyman, jack of all trades and trustworthy. He plans to supplement our income when he retires since he enjoys it and is good at it.
I was offered a beautiful cookbook to review, and how could I refuse since I love everything pumpkin. If you are a pumpkin lover, "Pumpkin It Up" by Eliza Cross is a beautiful book to put on display and cook your way through it this fall. My oven was in need of service so the first recipe I tried was the Pumpkin Spice Latte. I made two servings instead of four and was in pumpkin heaven! If you give this a try, let me know! 

Pumpkin Spice Latte
Makes 4 servings
31⁄2 cups milk
1⁄2 cup canned or cooked pumpkin purée
1⁄4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
11⁄2 cups strong coffee or espresso
Whipped cream, for topping
Chocolate syrup, for topping
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, pumpkin, sugar, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice. Heat, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Add the coffee or espresso and heat just until small bubbles form around the edge of the pan. Divide among 4 large coffee mugs, top with whipped cream, and drizzle with chocolate syrup.
I promise to share wedding photos soon. Thanks for stopping by. I am joining Foodie Friday at Rattlebridge Farm.

Welcome

Blogging has introduced me to a wonderful community of peers, and we learn so much from one another. I'm a New York girl decorating with MacKenzie-Childs one season at a time! I enjoy hiking, kayaking, cross country skiing and snowshoeing in the Adirondack Mountains (thus Mountain Breaths). I live in Upstate NY with my supportive husband and have three adult sons.

I admire handy people..Jacques was for all our lives..but it's not as easy now..he's so smart he can figure out anything:)
I'd be displaying that pretty cookbook in my kitchen, or even coffee table, Debbie. The pumpkin latte sounds so good and would be a perfect ending for a meal. Wish I could share one with you, but instead, I'll have to make one and pretend that you're sitting across from me and we are chatting the day away. xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious sounding latte. I am so ready for cool crisp weather!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week, Debbie.
Sounds amazing! We don't switch to pumpkin type foods here in Texas for awhile still but I can dream.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kitty..that book needs to be on a book stand. :)
