Pumpkin Spice Latte Recipe and a Review for The Recipe Girl Cookbook!

I recently picked up the "Recipe Girl" cookbook at my local library, and I was super excited to page through and check out all of the great recipes! The first recipe in the book was for this Pumpkin Spice Latte, and it immediately caught my eye! You see, I've had an espresso machine on my wishlist for a long time, but it's not something I've ever been able to purchase, since the one I want is spendy! That's why this recipe is so perfect! Latte with regular coffee and pumpkin?? I'm in!


I made this recipe earlier this week when my daughter and I were stuck at home with strep for a few days. It was so easy to make, and it's the perfect warm drink to comfort you when you're feeling under the weather. 

The Recipe Girl cookbook is 336 pages long and plump full of great recipes! Some other recipes I'd like to try are: Sticky Sweet Chicken Wings, Homemade Enchilada Sauce and Mango Margaritas! There is definitely something for everyone! Check it out!
