    Years ago, I think Starbucks didn't use real pumpkin (and maybe still don't or maybe I'm wrong but I think I'm right..) and I asked Cassidy to make me something with real pumpkin. Sure enough, he used real pumpkin puree over the stove. It was SO good. I mean, seriously.
    He doesn't remember what he did so I'm sending this to him right now.

      Very yummy! I used a Fairlife vanilla protein shake and Fairlife milk for the 2 cups of milk. Then I used allulose sugar instead of real sugar. It made a great healthy treat despite being on a high protein and low carb diet.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
