I love the flavor of pumpkin. It’s something I associate with the months of October and November. I realize it’s not limited to these months, but for some reason I mainly enjoy it during this time of year. A lot of companies will feature pumpkin flavored items for a limited time only. These are some of the pumpkin products that I’m currently enjoying. Unfortunately, the pumpkin shake is no longer offered at McDonalds. The good news is you will be saving yourself 68o calories which is half a days caloric intake for some people. McDonalds is already featuring their new holiday Eggnog Shake (I’m not a big fan of eggnog). I don’t know about you, but I feel as though marketing companies keep rushing us through the holidays before they even get here. I feel they should’ve kept the pumpkin shake at least until Thanksgiving. It seems like Thanksgiving always gets the shaft. I have a feeling the Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts won’t be around for too much longer either. I haven’t bought pop tarts in years, but I just had to try them. They are pretty tasty. If you like pumpkin, I hope you take the time to enjoy it this month. Next week I’ll be sharing some pumpkin recipes. Please leave a comment on any pumpkin items you’ve found in the stores. I’ll be eating pumpkin until I’m orange in the face. (corny I know, but I just had to say that)
Don’t know if you have seen the Pepperidge Farms pumpkin swirl bread, I grabbed a loaf and stuck it in my freezer, but haven’t tasted it yet. It looks yummy, I figured it would be off the shelves soon, that is why I grabbed it!
That sounds delicious! I haven’t seen it, but will add it to my list.
Hi – totally agree and love the flavor of pumpkins. To me it means Fall, Thanksgiving and then on to Christmas! I’m going to check out the Pop Tarts!

I agree. I have bought the pumpkin pancake mix and some pumpkin butter at Trader Joes. I also bought my son’s roomate the pop tarts as he loves pop tarts. I also bought some pumpkin spice eggo waffles but have not tried them yet. I have been craving pumpkin pie and will make one next week.
Thanks Sheila. I haven’t seen the pumpkin spice waffles, I will have to look for them.
Dawn – I found a slow cooker pumpkin spice latte that the girls and I are trying this weekend. I’ll let you know how it is.
That would be great Jeanene! Right up my alley 🙂
