Okay listen, I know it’s only August and I’m not supposed to be sharing pumpkin recipes but y’all, are there even rules about this stuff in 2020?

Let me have pumpkin in August. 

And yes, I did go to Bath & Body Works and buy 6 Leaves candles the other day during their sale. And yes, I am already burning them. (Sorry boyfriend.)

I am just so ready for fall. I’m usually a summer person but this summer is just so hot since we can’t really go to the pool or the lake or any of the places we usually go. I need fall.

This is a really old recipe that we make every year and if you love pumpkin pie as much as I do, this is the perfect way to cool down in this heat!

So, serious coffee question for you today.

Are you iced coffee in the summer and then hot coffee in the winter?

I am iced coffee all year long. I don’t care how cold it is, I don’t care if it’s snowing. I’m getting an iced coffee.

It’s been quiet around here this week, huh? Normally I prep all my weekly posts on the weekend so that all I have to do is go in the night before it posts and write a bunch of nonsense about my dogs, kids, nails, whatever. But since my husband was gone last weekend, I spent my time watching that Game of Thrones episode (you know the one) 5 times and trying on every piece of clothing in my closet. It’s what I do when I’m alone. Along with sleeping on the couch, working out twice a day, and sitting on the back porch talking to the neighbor’s dogs at all hours of the night.

Thankfully I have this Thursday series going with Nicole so I had to stop being lazy at least once.

Chocolate Malted Milkshake

Growing up, my mom always made yogurt and fruit smoothies and called them milkshakes. I swear I didn’t know the difference until I was much older.

Well as I was making these super rich and delicious chocolate malted milkshakes, I heard my oldest kid telling his brother that he’s had milkshakes before at my mom’s house and I knew that she’d tricked him too.

Weirdly enough, I’d choose a smoothie over a milkshake most days. Hopefully my mom’s tricky ways will also help the kid make the healthier choice every once in a while.

And yeah, I’m totally talking about making healthy choices right before I tell you all about this milkshake.

Nicole and I decided to make June Milkshake Month since the only thing better than an icy cocktail in summer is a delicious frozen treat. I was actually inspired by Tracey because she’s been all about the malted milk powder in the past few weeks and since tomorrow is National Chocolate Ice Cream day, I decided a chocolate malted shake sounded perfect.

I really, really, really love anything with malted milk powder (which, by the way, you should be able to find at any grocery store with the powdered chocolate milk) and this was no exception. Every sip is like a frozen Whopper.

Nicole made a S’Mores Milkshake which I will be making very soon because y’all know I get a little obsessed with s’mores this time of year.
