Pumpkin Season is upon us...And I'm back!!!!

It's been a few years but I'm back and ready to find the most exciting and delicious Pumpkin treats in NYC, and a store near you.  I've already seen several new products that I'm so excited to share with you AND try!! So lets get started with a few.

First let's start with products I'm looking forward to experiencing:

1.  Pumpkin Pie Frozen Yogurt at OFF THE WALL.  This is especially dangerous because it is mere steps away from my Stage Door...I have a feeling this will be a pretty regular celebratory treat!!!! I'm not gonna lie, I definitely had to go in and have a sample.  It was everything I wanted.  Can't wait to jazz it up with a graham cracker sprinkle and marshmallows!!

2.  Pumpkin & Black Sesame Bread from PARIS BAGUETTE.  Are you kidding me? Soft delicious bread with real pumpkin pieces baked in? Sometimes I get upset when stores market a product as "pumpkin" but really have just slapped on a few pumpkin seeds.  That is NOT it. With this bread you can actually see the pumpkin in there! I have hesitated to buy this bread because there is a Paris Baguette around the corner from the theatre and I'm scared I'll buy it every day...I think I'm going to have to do it this week though...I can't wait ANY longer!!!!! I'll let you know if it tastes as magical as it looks!

Next, lets move on to a few items I have actually tried in the last couple weeks...MMMmmmmmmm

1.  Eggo...You didn't let me down.  In my opinion this had the Perfect amount of pumpkin spice going on...I actually felt like I was indulging but I wasn't!! A little warm 100% pure maple syrup is the "icing on the cake" and really brings all the flavors together.  YES MA'AM!!!!!!!! I'm a fan.

2.    Milano...You've always been the right choice but now, you've really done it.  The subtle pumpkin flavor is perfect!!  Rich enough that you feel like you're having a decadent treat and only need one or two at a time, but light enough that it's not overpowering.  Nicely done.  Thanks to my friend Lauryn for finding these and brightening my day!!! YUMMMMMMMMMM!!!!

LASTSLY- I just have to share the recipe for this FIERCE Pumpkin Protein Shake I made last week.  It was like drinking an indulgent pumpkin milkshake, but I wasn't!!  It gave me all the Protein I needed after my workout, and tasted like a dream!

Makes 2 Shakes

1 Cup milk of your choice

2 heaping tablespoons Pure Pumpkin

2 heaping tablespoons plain or vanilla greek yogurt

1 scoop Pumpkin Spice Protein Powder

7 ice cubes

It is SOOOOOO good.  Mmmmmmmmmm.  One of my best friend's Johanna gave me a recipe for a Pumpkin + greens smoothie so I'll be trying that next.  Sounds delicious so I'll let you know!!

See you in a couple weeks with more new finds. Let me know if you find a special Pumpkin treat around your neck of the woods!!  

HAPPY PUMPKIN SEASON!!!
