Pumpkin Spice Latte Lite

Yeah, Pumpkin season is here and the weather is surely getting cooler and the days are getting shorter. I am sooooo waiting for the day light savings to begin, just so I can have one more hour of sleep. But, I am pretty sure its not going to happen. Because my kids will be up on that Sunday on time based on their biological clock in their heads. I wish it was a Monday, because then nobody can wake up the kids. And they will sleep till afternoon

Anyway, there was this article about making a Pumpkin Spice Latte at home on Yahoo.com the other day. And I just had to try it. I made a few changes to the recipe (Roll Eyes...as Usual!!!) and the Latte was delicious. I hope you will try it too and DO let me know, when you get a chance

I am using Splenda here instead of sugar but not saying this as Sugar free because Pumpkin Puree has its natural sugars in it. SO its just Lite
