Fall will be here in a week and with the changing colors of the leaves and the cool mornings, I know that pumpkin spice season has also arrived.

Pumpkin spice season seems to be everywhere. In fact, my local coffee shop has already started making the popular and loved pumpkin spice latte.  I love the warm flavors and smells of the pumpkin and coffee mixture. The combination of pumpkin and vanilla aroma is comforting.

To celebrate pumpkin spice season, we thought we would share a recipe for making your own pumpkin spice latte.
