Make the popular coffee house pumpkin latte at home. Canned or homemade pumpkin puree both work well in this recipe.
INGREDIENTS-
2 cups milk (dairy or non-dairy) 2 tablespoons pumpkin puree 1 to 3 tablespoons sugar, depending on how sweet you like it 1 tablespoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice, plus more for serving ½ cup strong hot coffee Whipped cream, for serving
INSTRUCTIONS –
Add milk, pumpkin puree, and sugar to a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until hot, but do not boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and whisk in the vanilla, pumpkin pie spice, and the coffee.
Divide the mixture between two mugs. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice.
NOTES –
Milk: This tastes best with 2% or whole milk, but you can substitute with skim milk. Non-dairy milk like soy, almond, or coconut milk will also work.
Sugar: This recipe calls for 1 to 3 tablespoons of sugar. How much you use is up to you. We tend to prefer less sugar in our drinks. You can also use a sugar substitute. Add this to taste.
Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend: Find pumpkin pie spice at the store or make it at home. You likely have everything you need to make it already. Mix the following spices in a spice jar: 1 ½ tablespoons ground cinnamon + 2 teaspoons ground ginger + ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg + a pinch of ground cloves.
All these shows but one (as of today, Oct. 13th 2018) are available on Netflix. These are just some of the shows I really enjoy binge watching during the spooky season, which for me is September 1st through November 30th lol.
Good Witch : A family friendly show about a small town and the magic that surrounds it. There’s also a ton of movies too but these aren’t currently available on Netflix. The show (and movies) is very wholesome and cute.
Goosebumps : Yes, Netflix currently as all the Goosebumps episodes and if you’re a “90′s kid” or just want to live out your 90′s wannabe fantasy then this show is a must in October. If you really want to get an authentic 90′s experiences watch it on a Saturday morning while eating French Toast Crunch. Totally family friendly-ish lol.
Are You Afraid of the Dark? : This one isn’t on Netflix but there are some episodes posted on Youtube. This show is much like Goosebumps (but much better in my opinion lol). FYI no matter how old you are the opening is always gonna be hella creepy lol.
Scream : Murder mystery + teenage angst. What more could you want from a TV show? This show is much more gory and isn’t suitable for kids.
Charmed : Witches again? Yes! Charmed is just a great show to watch anytime but it’s supernatural elements and nostalgic… charm 😉 make it one of my favorite spooky season shows.
Supernatural : Again, the theme of supernatural creatures just fit so well with the season. Great “Halloween-ish” episodes include “Monster Movie” and “It’s the great pumpkin, Sam Winchester” Earlier season’s had a more “monster of the week” approach and are some of the best episodes. My personal favorite episode is Season 1 episode 11 “Scarecrow”
Creeped Out : This is a new Netflix anthology series, much like Goosebumps and Are You Afraid of the Dark? It’s rated TV-Y7 so probably not a suitable show for super young kids.
American Horror Story : Particularly season 1, 3 and 6. This show is an adult horror style show and therefore I do not recommend watching this if you’re sensitive to imaginary of sexual assault, racial violence or graphic gore.
Some other shows that I also think are great binge-able spooky season shows but that I don’t have much to say about.
The Originals
The Vampire Diaries
iZombie
Being Human
Bitten
Van Helsing
The Walking Dead
The Twilight Zone
The Worst Witch (kid friendly)
The Magicians
And some good Spooky Season movies. All on Netflix right now. There are tons of horror movies on Netflix right now that aren’t on this lists because then it would be very very long lol. These are just the movies I have watched already and would recommend. I’m not saying they’re all masterpieces or anything lol, but they’re fun to watch this time of year.

when i was younger i had a really bad fear of markiplier when i was going to sleep so my older brother gave me a watch that he set to like 8 hours ahead so that it was always daytime on the watch when i was asleep and he told me it would confuse markiplier and he would think it was daytime and get scared of the sun and leave me alone
Your brother is the best
Who the fuck changed this from vampires to Markiplier
the real question is why I was completely ready to accept that this person had a debilitating childhood fear of Markiplier
Who the fuck changed this from Danny devito to markiplier
Finnish soldier gets separated from the rest of his unit but he’s the only one carrying the emergency amphetamines for the unit, takes too many and goes on a one man rampage for like 2 weeks straight giving the opposing Soviet soldiers nightmares for decades. Oh and he did it all on skis.
Did he survive?
Yes, during his methed up 2-3 week rampage he got injured by a land mine, travelled 400km on skis, and only ate pine buds and a Siberian Jay that he caught which he ate raw. When he made it back to Finnish lines he was taken to a hospital where it was found his heart rate was nearly 200 beats per minute and his weight had dropped to 43kg (94.7lbs).
His name was Aimo Koivunen if you want to look him up
Those are the eyes of a man who has seen god and laughed
Was this an ancestor of our crazy, sexy beastie? XD @hibernalbeast
