When the Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte became such a major trend, my kids were in college and I was always looking for things to send them in holiday care packages. This homemade dry mix for a pumpkin spice latte was a big hit for them at the time, and remains a staple fall treat at our house. It is so easy and inexpensive and rivals Starbucks version!

We grow a lot of heirloom squash, but one of my favorite varieties are the bright orange, ribbed Cinderella pumpkins (winter squash) you see below. They’re actually quite tasty, as well as beautiful!
