Pumpkin Spice

If you're anything like me you went to the grocery store last month all excited to get pumpkin spice and start the onslaught of pumpkin goodies.  I am all about the pumpkin madness and I look forward to it every.single.fall. 

This year, however, all of the grocery stores near me were out of the pumpkin spice and they have been to this day.  Well, I did find one really expensive bottle at a health food store, but there is no way I'd pay 9 dollars for it.

Now I know you can make your own pumpkin spice mix from other spices, but I'd never done it.  Now that I know how to though, I don't think I'll ever go back.  It's cheaper to mix your own and it's so ridiculously simple.  So simple that this post has one lone picture.

There are a few different ways to make this, but they are all just slight variations of the same mix of spices.  Here's what I used:

2 Tbsp Cinnamon
2 Tsp Ginger
2 Tsp Nutmeg

1 Tsp All Spice

I actually made a batch that used 3x of the measurements above (I wasn't kidding when I said I embrace the pumpkin season) and then stored it all in a spice jar. 

OK, I'm off to make something pumpkin.  Hmmm... a healthy pumpkin pie that's mostly raw.  Yep, that's my plan.  Promise to share that recipe soon!

If you like what you read, I would love to hear from you in the comments section!  It's fun to get feedback and it helps me create future posts.  Oh and it wouldn't hurt my feelings if you pinned, tweeted and/or shared this post  ;-)

Thanks for this recipe, I was looking at your recipe for pumpkin spice chai. As I have never tried the pumpkin spice thought I would give it a go, I'm from Australia. I am not usually this adventurous but you only live once eh? BTW I tried your eggplant lasagne and did a little twerking myself as I didn't have all the ingredients, loved the coconut oil in it, have to say. Thanks a lot. from Down Under.
