Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice

Truth be told, I really hate to see summer come to an end. I love the long days; outdoor parties; and those light, refreshing drinks. However, one of the really great things about Fall is pumpkin spice. The aroma is so comforting, and you can find it almost everywhere during this time of year. For example, you can find pumpkin spice aromatherapy, protein shakes, almonds, and body moisturizer. Of course, you can also get one of my favorite things – pumpkin spice latte. SO YUMMY!

Here is an easy recipe from www.allricepes.com that I particularly enjoy, and so I thought that I would share it with you.
