Simple & Healthy Pumpkin Spice Latte
Put down the $6.00 store-bought sugary pumpkin spiced latte and walk-away! LOL. I find that you have to be very careful if you say anything negative towards this cult classic in the month of October, but the more I examine what is actually in it the less I want to drink it.

Frozen rhubarb will keep up to 6 months.
