A healthified copycat Pumpkin Spice Latte (PSL) recipe with real pumpkin. Why not just go to Starbucks for a #PSL? The reason will shock you!

Things about fall that make me happy: fallen leaves on the ground, a fresh face, a low sun, winter time, leaving the house in he morning in the dark, candle light in the evening, on the couch with a blanket and fragrant & spicy pumpkin gingerbread.
