Homemade Pumpkin Spice Blend

October 9, 2017 · 8 Comments

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice Blend | Dreamery Events

Fall is definitely here for good, and I’m only saying it because I gave in and actually decorated with some pumpkins. Naturally they’re all the prettiest mini white ones or lovely gray hues, but they’re still pumpkins, and the extent of what I’ll decorate for fall. I’ve been slow to get into the Autumn mood, it’s been hard to adjust to the changing of the seasons this year, but I am allowing myself to enjoy the simple things this season has to offer.  

Even with gorgeous warm days we’ve been having on the east coast, which I’m so thankful for, you do feel a crispness in the air, the kind where you’re reminded that it’s no longer summer. What I do look forward to this season, is the feeling of rejuvenation. It’s like you wipe your hands clean from the old ways, and get ready for a fresh start. It’s a relaxing feeling making lists of fun “fall-y” things you want to do and goals you’d like to accomplish before the year is over. When it’s a new season, say yes to new experiences and cozy up with the things that bring you comfort.

Guys, this was one of my first recipes on the blog, and if you saw the photos you wouldn’t have even given it a second chance. But it’s really not a recipe, it’s a kitchen must have, especially for Autumn! Anyone can buy spices and mix them in a jar to create something comforting and custom that you can add to everything this time of year!

Is it me or in the last 10 years it’s like the world discovered Pumpkin flavors for the first time. Pumpkin cupcakes, waffles, of course the classic pie, but then you have cookies, and candies, and even beauty products. And don’t get me started on Pumpkin Spice Lattes! Okay, I’ll be honest I’ve had my fair share of them, but the craze only lasted a season for me. It doesn’t taste like pumpkin to me, or coffee for that matter, and always leaves a weird taste in my mouth.

BUT I really do love fall spices in my coffee, but instead of using sweeteners, I add in a few tablespoons of this pumpkin spice right into the coffee grounds before brewing. The house fills with invigorating scents of coffee, but then settles with the comforting aromas of cinnamon, ginger, cloves, allspice and nutmeg. These are your go-to fall spices, at least for me, and should go in all your fall baked goods! They compliment and bring out each other’s flavors perfectly.

On paper I’m calling this a “pumpkin spice” blend, well because I’m pretty sure it’s how I hooked you. But this is really an Autumn Spice Blend. It’s all the flavors and scents you want, and crave, this season. And it’s a versatile fall favorite, pairing with endless sweet and savory options too.

Want in on a little secret about Pumpkin? It’s jam-packed with nutritious benefits, is low in calories and high in Antioxidants, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Carotene, and even its seeds are rich in fiber.

You will thank me, actually your wallet will because you won’t need to buy those artificially flavored brews anymore.

Let's talk what really makes a Victorian holiday.. Let's talk what really makes a Victorian holiday...did you know many of our Christmas decor & traditions are directly from Queen Victoria's reign. A maximalist aesthetic rich in jewel tones that incorporated many elements already on hand & found in nature🎄🎀

What are the key design elements of a Victorian inspired Christmas.... 

- Christmas Trees. Prince Albert popularized it from his childhood in Germany. These trees were adorned w. candles, sweets, fruits, small gifts & handmade paper chains
- Ribbons!! There's a reason ribbons were a popular for the holidays, they were affordable & easily made from fabric remnants. They’re a Victorian signature
- Fresh Greenery. Beautiful mantels & bookshelves lined w. fragrant evergreens come from a time where embracing seasonal nature was the norm
- Candles! There’s nothing more magical than the flicker of candlelight. Original trees were decorated w. real candles. Thankfully we can now use electric candles to adorn ours
- Indoor decorations. Holiday home decor we love was almost all handmade! I think it's why so many are drawn to this aesthetic. Greens tied w. ribbons, mistletoe balls & wreaths hung, paper decor all carefully made
- Stockings were popularized, but mostly kept simple w. embroidered names
- Simple Intentional Gifts. Christmas wasn't for elaborate gifts, it was a time to gift fruits, nuts, sweets & small handmade trinkets. Games, dolls, books, apples, oranges & nuts were most popular
- Decorative Food, for eating & decorating. Oranges adorned w. ribbons & whole cloves became beautifully popular pomanders.  Christmas fruit cake, mulled wine, sugar plums -- all Victorian staples still adorning our tables & comforting our souls
- Christmas Cards. Christmas Crackers. Handblown Glass Ornaments...all holiday traditions we still take part in, all from a time long ago

❌DONTS for a Victorian Christmas....
- Colorful Lights 
- Snowflakes
- Jolly Santa...Victorian Christmases depict a less merry, slenderer St. Nicholas in a long robe often in white, green or blue✨
Tie a bow on it! There hasn’t been a bow or fabr Tie a bow on it! There hasn’t been a bow or fabric ribbon delicately tied that I haven’t been smitten with. And yes, bows are everywhere. Last year’s holiday table was a gathering of cherished family heirlooms, timeless design details that have forever imprinted in our present, the invigorating calm scents & textures of the winter season that set the scene for simple magic✨🎁

A little minimalist, very much nature driven & a t A little minimalist, very much nature driven & a touch old world....the itch for a Victorian inspired holiday table was already blooming last year🎀

Despite what social media & what others may pressure you into believing, you do not need to buy new holiday decor. Bring out the fancy stuff, make something handmade & heartfelt. I’m a firm believer in finding joy in the things we already have, making new traditions with the old, creating simple but immensely special details that become cherished memories❄️
