The fall season brings with it the wonderful pumpkin treats each year. I am a huge lover of pumpkin and this photo above is pumpkin cheesecakes at Magnolia Bakery.

I am also a huge lover of Starbucks flavored drinks, the coffee is a bit too strong for my liking, and this photo from their website makes me drool. Pumpkin Latte, Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffin, Pumpkin Scone and Pumpkin Bread .....how do you choose just one?????
one of my favorite cupcake bakeries is Crumbs and this was their pumpkin cupcake, they also make an apple crumb which is great for this time of year

One of my most favorite cookies to make in fall are the Old Fashioned Soft Pumpkin cookie from Libby's and I thought I would share it with you :

i love pumpkin too .. my fav is an old fashioned pumpkin pie .. i used to love Starbucks pumpkin latte, then i read it was 450 calories and decided i could live w/o it .. :)
You can order the latte with skim or soy milk and omit the whip cream and it takes some of the calories off. I don't have one every day but once in a while, it is a nice treat.
I love everything pumpkin this time of year! I made a pumpkin/cream cheese swirl loaf, pumpkin bread, cookies.. haha I might have gone a little over board! :)
This is my favorite time of year.
