Homemade Crock Pot Pumpkin Spice Latte

Who doesn't love pumpkin spice lattes? I truly do not care how "basic" it is, they are wonderful. If you like the ones from the coffee shop, then you are going to go crazy for my recipe for Homemade Crock Pot Pumpkin Spice Latte!

I am a coffee addict! So, I like to make mine with strong coffee, but what's great about this recipe, you can adjust the flavors to however you take your coffee. Add more sweetness or more coffee, whatever you like. Making this pumpkin spice latte in a crock pot is perfect when you are entertaining for the fall. It is also a wonderful idea for a tailgate party. I love the idea of serving something warm and comforting in the cold fall months during football season or, in my house, soccer season.

Greek Orzo Salad

I know pasta has this whole sigma with it, but I am an Italian girl, and I refuse to kick pasta to the curb! I grew up in a house that had pasta for dinner at least once a week, so life without it just seems unfair.

Pink Strawberry and Sour Cream Scones

I am a major breakfast lover. I’m pretty sure I could have breakfast at every meal, and be completely content with life. Scones are one of my favorites, but I have to say, I am pretty picky. I am not a fan of soft cakey scones. I like them to be buttery and slightly crumbly.

Butternut Squash and Chicken Fall Pie

I have a love/hate relationship with making dinner. I love to cook and create recipes, but there are just some nights when I really don’t feel like making anything! That is why I love recipes that allow me to either make them head of time, or that make really great leftovers.

JoEllen's Baked Ziti

Pasta has to be one of my all time favorite things to eat! I know, being an Italian girl, that it is in my blood, but I think any person who loves food, loves pasta. With the whole “low carb” craze that hit America, people look at pasta like it is the devil.
