Homemade Pumpkin Spice

Yesterday I had the day off, and since it is getting chilly out here in Airdrie my mind was in the fall already. I decided to make pumpkin spice syrup so that I won't need to go to Starbucks to get my pumpkin spice latte and so that it could be a bit more healthy as well. So this is what I cooked up:

1/3 cup agave syrup
1 cup water
2/3 cup pumpkin purée
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp cloves

I just put it all into a saucepan and stirred it till it had boiled down a bit and was a little thicker. (I sort of changed it a little based on the first pumpkin spice recipe I came across when I googled it.) it doesn't make my coffee taste much like pumpkin but it is a nice fall spiced drink, and maybe if you tried it you would taste pumpkin and maybe I am crazy. I put it in a nice glass bottle and stuck it in the fridge :) yay fall!

With love.

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad!!

These are my parents on their wedding day, 35 years ago yesterday!! They were beautiful then and they are beautiful still. My prayer for them is that God will continue to bless them in their marriage and guide them in life. I am thankful to have had them to look up to as I entered into marriage myself, and for all that they have taught me, sometimes without even doing so intentionally. I love you Mom and Dad! I hope this 36th year will be full of joy and exciting new things for you!! With love.
