It had to be asked...

Are you a Pumpkin Spice gal or not?

I am definitely not. I have never liked pumpkin-flavored anything. Blegh.

nesser1981 · #2 10-20-2015, 10:37 AM

Not really. Now candy corn, I'm all over some candy corn flavored things!

JennNtheBoys · #3 10-20-2015, 10:45 AM

I love Pumpkin bread... was never a fan or Pumpkin Pie although I recently learned to love pumpkin cheesecake. I on occasion enjoy a Pumpkin Spice coffee but it's not something I have to have or miss when I don't get one. So yea, this time of year does bring the Pumpkin gal out in me, but not enough to make me crazy with excitement waiting for the season!

KristinCB · #4 10-20-2015, 10:45 AM

Yes

right now i make my coffee with almond milk and pumpkin spice at home

I made pumpkin bread last week and it was soooo yummy

mariewilcox · #5 10-20-2015, 10:52 AM

You bet - I love pumpkin and don't limit it to just the "fall" season. It's good for you too, unless you indulge in too many pumpkin whoopie pies, and then not so much

I just had pumpkin chili for supper last night

Kjersti · #6 10-20-2015, 10:54 AM

Yes! I love Pumpkin Spice candles!!

I also wish they sold Pumpkin Spice bagels and cream cheese all year round!!!

NO!! Candy corn is disgusting and should only be used in a decorative manner

I do like pumpkin but I think the flavoring everything pumpkin is over kill.

Libby Pritchett · #8 10-20-2015, 11:04 AM

Yes! I love pumpkin!

In fact, I just made some pumpkin muffins with cream cheese frosting last week, and they were pretty much amazing.

nesser1981 · #9 10-20-2015, 11:05 AM

Have you tried the Hershey's White Chocolate Candy Corn candy bars? It's not overly sweet like actual candy corn. The Candy Corn M & M's are pretty good too.

I'm still confused about the "pumpkin spice" description because I thought that when this became a thing, it didn't mean that it had PUMPKIN in it, it meant that it had PUMPKIN SPICE -- as in the spice you would use in a pumpkin pie (cinnamon, nutmeg a smidge of clove maybe). Now it seems to include actual flavor or pumpkin?

In any event, I'm kind of like Keely -- I like pumpkin including baked pumpkin goods (pies, scones, muffins) -- but I feel like artificially flavoring everything with "pumpkin spice" is overkill. I HATE pumpkin spice coffee. Too sweet and icky.

carrie1977 · #11 10-20-2015, 11:11 AM

I don't like to drink pumpkin flavored anything...but I love me some pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie loaded with whipped cream, etc....

britaneejean · #12 10-20-2015, 11:13 AM

I love pumpkin everything, scents, desserts, etc. I don't drink coffee so I haven't had any of the PSL. I love when my house smells like pumpkin spice.

Unfortunately, my husband HATES pumpkin everything. I can't cook it when he's home because it permeates everything. He also won't get near me if I've had anything pumpkin flavored. I didn't know this before I married him!! We both try to annoy each other during the fall season with our love/hate pumpkin relationship.

I hate pumpkin! However, my DH and kids love it, so every fall I bake all sorts of pumpkin stuff and then have zero temptation to eat any of it. It's perfect...

Gemma · #14 10-20-2015, 11:27 AM

I've never tasted pumpkin anything. It just doesn't appeal to me lol.

Saar · #15 10-20-2015, 11:37 AM

I love pumpkin soup.
We grow pumpkins in our bacyard, so we can prepare it with our own pumpkins.

MamaBee · #16 10-20-2015, 11:38 AM

I'm obsessed with anything pumpkin or pumpkin spiced... I even did a layout on my joy of finding pumpkin items at Trader Joes - and then drove back (which is almost 2 hours away from where I live) to stock up!

And on the candy corn debate... candy corn = gross.

YepBrook · #17 10-20-2015, 11:41 AM

Pumpkin pie is my favorite! The pumpkin scones at starbucks, mmmm. But pumpkin spice lattes, no thanks. I don't like pumpkin spice flavored drinks, but I do enjoy a spice scented candle... clove is one of my favorite fall scents.

LOL - TJs has some awesome pumpkin products during October! Unfortunately the closest one to me is also 2 hours away and I haven't made it there yet this month and probably won't

And I'll chime on the candy corn debate too - DISGUSTING!!! I hate it! Got sick on it as a kid and just the sight of it makes me want to run screaming

I've been putting clove, wild orange and cinnamon in my oil diffuser...so yummy!

kendallt · #20 10-20-2015, 12:00 PM

I honestly love anything pumpkin; I always have. My boyfriend and I were joking over the weekend because I told him I liked pumpkin before it was cool. He called me a pumpkin hipster.

calvinawalsh · #21 10-20-2015, 12:01 PM

My mom makes a wonderful pumpkin bar with yummy cream cheese frosting. That I eat once a year and that is enough pumpkin.

My thoughts are, "why eat pumpkin when you can have CHOCOLATE!"

calvinawalsh · #22 10-20-2015, 12:06 PM

Now this "pumpkin" I have every day! A new Facebook I follow to see cute photos of "Pumpkin" the raccoon!

**Holly** · #23 10-20-2015, 12:41 PM

Nope definitely not... Although there is a new "pumpkin spice" hair trend that I am dying to do... It's a gorgeous color of orange/red...

I love pumpkin pie (with enough cool whip) and pumpkin bread but I'm not a coffee person so the whole everything pumpkin spice is kind of too much for me!!

jak · #25 10-20-2015, 04:46 PM

Pumpkins are not a big deal here, maybe because we don't have Halloween or Thanksgiving... so its just a vegetable. We eat it year round... I especially love roast pumpkin and often have it cold in salads. We also have pumpkin soup, and very occasionally you might come across pumpkin pie or pumpkin cake somewhere.

Nettio · #26 10-20-2015, 05:00 PM

I don't mind pumpkin but I'm not a fan of pumpkin spice lattes. I do LOVE candy corn though.

flergs · #27 10-20-2015, 05:04 PM

Never tried it. It isn't a thing here is Oz. I don't think I've ever seen it in anything even if I wanted to try it.

Yep. We have it every night with our veggies so pumpkin is just meh to me lol. I only eat it roasted, and pumpkin soup or scones is about it for fancy pumpkin stuff lol.

joelsgirl · #29 10-20-2015, 07:54 PM

Nope, pumpkin is not on the list of things I miss about fall. I can't imagine wanting my coffee to taste like a vegetable.

lovely1m · #30 10-20-2015, 08:45 PM

I love all things pumpkin. It tastes so good to me.

nietis · #31 10-20-2015, 11:05 PM

I like pumpkin soup, but I don't like pumpkin flavored drinks somehow...

Exactly! If I'm going to eat baked goods or get Starbucks, pumpkin can't compete with chocolate. So I guess I'm neutral. Pumpkin spice everything is fine and I enjoy it when I have it, but I rarely order or make it. My family isn't big on pumpkin, so I don't cook with it much, either.

nesser1981 · #33 10-21-2015, 06:50 AM

YAY! I'm not the only one. LOL!

fifilur · #34 10-21-2015, 07:59 AM

I love pumpkin, as soup or cake or anything. I use pumpkin spice if it goes with the pumpkin recipe but I don't see the appeal in just pumpkin spice flavoured stuff.
