The minute you hear that Starbucks announces the release of the pumpkin spice latte, you know the fall is right around the corner. The fall is one of the best times of the year because there are so many harvest festivals, which of course means a variety of amazing pumpkin recipes and we love it! What other time of the year do you get to eat pumpkin, other than the fall?
Pumpkin is great.
- 7 grams of dietary fiber per ounce
- Vitamin A, which is good for your eyes
- Good for your skin, teeth, and bones
- Seeds are rich in tryptophan, which helps you sleep better
- Rich in beta-carotene
- Antioxidants
- Good for your heart
So now, let’s eat!
Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte
A pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks could run you over $3 and if you love it, then you may want to make it at home. This recipe is done in the slow cooker, so just imagine how amazing it would smell waking up to pumpkin spice latte in the morning!
Pumpkin Cheesecake
Eating a slice of pumpkin cheesecake screams comfort food, but when you think cheesecake, you think lots of calories. Well, it doesn’t have to be that bad. We found a low-calorie, no cream cheese, but still creamy cheesecake recipe that you will love.
Cinnamon Toasted Pumpkin Seeds
