Football, Fall and Pumpkin Spice Latte

Thursday night Football!!!! Going to be a great game.. The Bears and Packers..  Have two good friends at work on opposite sides of this and it has been funny to watch them trash talk each other..  They both crack me up..  Tomorrow is going to be interesting..  
This past week has been fabulous here in GA..  You can feel Fall in the air,  it is crisper,  cooler,  the humidity has lowered tremendously..  makes me want to cook and bake all the time..  :)
This past Saturday I hosted my first Thirty-One Party,  and I am sure it won't be my last..  I love the products so much and for this party I made lots of food,  sort of my thing..  I am going to share one of the recipes I made for the party.. I did of course find this recipe on Pinterest and then added a little extra to it..  It is a Crock Pot recipe and I am right now making it on the stove to see if it a versatile recipe.. 

Crock Pot Pumpkin Spice Latte

8Tbsp Pumpkin puree
8Tbsp vanilla extract
8Tbsp sugar
2tsp Cinnamon
4 c coffee
6 c milk

Mix all the ingredients in Crock Pot, set to low and heat for 2 hours..
Top with Whipped Cream(We bought Caramel Whipped Cream in the Can from the Super T) and serve with a cinnamon stick if desired..  I didn't do that.. 
These are the extras that my daughter Rebekah(aka Boo) the Barista, and I decided on because we didn't think the Cinnamon would be enough.. 
1/4 tsp Cloves
1/4 tsp Nutmeg
1/8 tsp ginger.. 

The Crock Pot version was yummy..  now waiting to try the stove top version..  :)  The stove top adaptation is just as yummy, if not more so..  ahhh..  Pumpkin Spice Latte at home and not having to spend a ton of money on it..  Don't get me wrong..  I LOVE Starbucks...  but I can't afford to enjoy their drinks often..    this is a way to treat myself and only spend on a whole pot to share the same as I would spend on a Grande..  Life is Good..
