Oh
yes! It’s that time of the year again. Before the Halloween costumes and candy,
before the Christmas music on the radio, before the New Years resolutions,
comes the obsession with the pumpkin spice flavor. The endless pictures of
college, sorority girls posting pictures with their Starbucks PSL on Instagram
is in mid-season by now. Yes, I’m just as guilty of posting a Starbucks cup of
coffee accompanied by a corny, motivational quote. Instead of rolling your eyes
or shunning the pumpkin spice craze that occurs every year, we need to embrace
it! Yes, I said it, join the pumpkin spice movement.
If
you’re in the minority and aren’t one of the millions of people with an
obsession of pumpkin spice, you have to admit, nothing pairs better than fall
weather and pumpkin. Therefore, below are some healthy pumpkin recipes to help
everyone stay committed to those 2016 New Years resolutions we made just a mere
eight months ago!
