New England Coffee Fall Flavors
Fall is here and you know what that means? That means Pumpkin Spice Coffee! To celebrate the cool weather of Fall New England Coffee has two special fall flavor coffee blends. Pumpkin Spice and Caramel Apple.
I love Pumpkin Spice coffee so much! It should be available all year long but since it’s not I stock my freezer with bags of New England Pumpkin Spice Coffee so I can enjoy it after it is no longer available.
This Pumpkin Spice Cupcake recipe requires a little planning. Before you can make the Pumpkin Spice Coffee Butter Cream Frosting you will need to make the Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Coffee concentrate.
Cold brew Pumpkin Spice coffee concentrate is very easy to make but you will need to make it at least 24 hours before you plan to make the Pumpkin Spice frosting.
The long cold brew time is what makes this pumpkin spice coffee concentrate strong enough to flavor the Pumpkin Spice Coffee Butter Cream Frosting and then you’ll be able to enjoy a delicious Pumpkin Spice Iced Coffee with the left over pumpkin spice coffee concentrate.

I think I would have to say my mom AND my husband. Both of these people have influenced me tremendously to the survival instinct that we humans have. My mom fought a short battle with small cell carcinoma(lung cancer that moved into the bone) but while doing so she taught me to have courage,strength,love and hope to be able to spend our last days together before she passed away in 2011. M So you can see where these 2 folks have tied in my heart with their will y husband also had Cancer..his was Bladder Cancer and even though he lost his bladder in the process of fighting the cancer he still had a smile on his face and now has a clean bill from the doctor..Cancer GONE! So you can see where these 2 folks have tied in my heart for their will to survive and their faith to push forward!
