Well, hi there, November. I thought you'd never get here. It's good to see you again and I hope you brought with you some cool weather to last us longer than a couple days. This heat, geesh, is killin me. Because I love you so, I decided to celebrate your arrival today with my first batch of pumpkin muffins of the season. You're welcome.
In recipes when it calls for pumpkin pie spice, I reach for this line-up of spices in my pantry. In recipes where it doesn't call for pumpkin pie spice, sometimes I still add it. Like to milky iced coffee. Or pancakes. Or smoothies. Or homemade doggy treats.
Pumpkin Pie Spice
makes about 2 tablespoons
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Blend all spices together. Shazaam. It's that easy.

If you were a spice, which one would you be? I have a friend named Cori Anderson. Her hubs calls her Coriander. I think that's the sweetest thing ever.

Thanks for the spice tip, I'll definitely try this. I like the idea of using it in iced coffee and pancakes.
I am also tired of the heat. What I would give to wear a sweater.
