One of my favorite things about this time of year is the plethora of items that are available made with pumpkin. There is a local bakery here in Bowie that makes Pumpkin danishes that I just absolutely love. My wife picked up two of them for me last week.This is also one of my favorite times of year when it comes to Starbucks. I do not treat myself to Starbucks as much as I used to these days, but this time of year I have to treat myself to a Pumpkin Spiced Latte. It also means that it will soon be time for them to come out with their Eggnog Lattes.
There are several locations where I can pick up other pumpkin goodies like pumpkin donuts, pumpkin muffins, and pumpkin cheesecake. Of course, for more adult treats I can always pick up one of several pumpkin brews available at the liquor store.
One of the reasons that I have been thinking about pumpkin today is that I received an email from Kraft. In it, was a link to their website with literally hundreds of recipes for pumpkin dishes and desserts. I saw one recipe for a pumpkin pie that I made one year that I got from a Philadelphia Cream Cheese cookbook that has a layer of cream cheese and a layer of pumpkin
One of my coworkers might be an even bigger pumpkin fan than I am, plus he does a lot of baking, so I forwarded the link to him. Hopefully he will find a few of them to his liking and make a few of them and let me sample them.
Love the link! I try to make new desserts for the holidays and you just gave me a headstart!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dickster!
glad you like it Cloris. Let me know how things turn out
ReplyDeleteWe love pumpkin too, but lower calories and other diet restrictions for hubby keep us from the cream cheesy things now.
