Now, when I think of fall and pumpkins, my all time favorite thing is Starbucks Pumpkin Pie Latte. But in this economy, who can afford that? This homemade coffee creamer has a variation I'll make for my coffee jolts I despartely need to keep up with 2 kids and this blog! Add 1-3 T per cup o' Joe. Enjoy!
