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!
