Nothing says Fall like Pumpkin Spice Latte! It’s one of Starbucks famous fall drinks. I was looking forward to drinking this despite all of the information going around online about the ingredients of the famous starbucks pumpkin latte (how it doesn’t contain pumpkin!). I’ll still drink it, moderation is key! So when I was browsing Pinterest a couple of nights ago, I saw this recipe and tried it the next day because I checked our pantry and we had all of the ingredients. It was so easy and we really liked the result, though we had to add more sugar because my hubs and I prefer our drinks “sweeter”. I will definitely make this again for sure!

We had a nice and quite labor day weekend at home. Hubby had to fix our powder room because of a leaking toilet! It’s all good now. I started reading the book “The Fault in our Stars” (I really enjoyed the movie), I’m almost done with the book and I’m really liking it too (sad ending though). Hubs and I started the t.v series “The Bridge”, so we have been enjoying that so far. Labor Day we had BBQ with my In Laws, we had short ribs, grilled veggies, and I made a filipino dish “sisig”. It’s a famous “pulutan”(appetizer) in the Philippines. I used pork belly and pigs ears. My hubs has been requesting it for a long time. He says it’s one of his favorite filipino foods!I was pleasantly surprised that my In Laws liked it too. You can’t really see the “pigs ears” when the whole dish is presented.

appetizers;our cherry tomatoes were a hit!

I garnished the sisig with my own cayenne pepper from the garden!

Last Sunday after church Hubs and I tried Lil Jons of Bellevue and had brunch there, it was my first time to eat there and I liked their french toast (hubs recommendation) and we will definitely be back there, especially since it’s so close to our church!
