Pumpkin Ice Cream

That's right! I drove myself to Braum's last night with high hopes of them having pumpkin ice cream. And, they did! So, I got myself a dip of pumpkin ice cream on a waffle cone and it was so yummy that I bought a half gallon of pumpkin ice cream. So, right now I'm indulging again! I think this is another reason Sarah & I are friends, we both LOVE pumpkin and fall! I am loving this cool weather, it always makes me want to cook, every year. Beef pot roasts, chicken stew, chili, and comfort foods. But, I also LOVE pumpkin pie, sweet potato pie, and pumpkin ice cream! Every fall when I lived in College Station (5 years), I would go to the ice cream shop called 32 Degrees (which is now closed), because they only had pumpkin ice cream in Oct. and Nov. each year. They had the best pumpkin ice cream I have ever eaten, and I miss those days. I remember each fall being so excited to get my first taste of pumpkin ice cream, and then being so disappointed come the end of the holidays, because they did away with it then. However, Braum's makes a pretty close second to this ice cream. I hope you are all enjoying the flavors of fall as well. Eat up, fall only comes once a year!

I am telling you--there must be something about pumpkin that is making us pg women crave it! My other pregnant friend has been baking pumpkin things non stop, too! I made a yummy batch of pumpkin muffins yesterday and have already eaten 4! YIKES!
