For many, it is just not Fall without a steady dose of pumpkin spice.
Since Starbucks has not put in “sail-through” ordering yet (LOL), we asked Wanda Anglin of SEO Buzz Internet Marketing to share her favorite ways to enjoy this Fall favorite with some easy-to-make recipes.
Wanda (pictured here with her husband, Frank) is a marketing consultant who has collaborated with the Catamaran Guru team for years.
Enjoy these easy, delicious treats:

Pumpkin Spice Russian
Instead of turning your Black Russian, White, turn it Pumpkin Spice!
INGREDIENTS (per serving)
- 1 shot glass vodka (1.5 oz)
- 1 shot glass pumpkin spice coffee creamer (1.5 oz)
- 1/2 shot glass Kahlua (3/4 oz)
- Ice
DIRECTIONS
- Serve alone in a highball glass or with a cinnamon stirring stick or a dollop of whipped cream.
- If you want to serve with a layered look, place ice, vodka, and Kahlua in the glass and stir, then slowly pour the cream over the back of a spoon to “float” it on top.
- Or make a whole pitcher full with even amounts of vodka and creamer and half as much Kahlua!
Crustless Pumpkin Pie
Making a pie crust or storing a frozen store-bought crust is just not worth it aboard a boat…not if you can make this traditional favorite crustless!
INGREDIENTS
- Cooking spray
- 1 (15-oz.) can pumpkin puree or scant 2 cups of mashed sweet potatoes!
- 1 c. heavy cream
- 3/4 c. packed brown sugar (can use erithrytol or Bochasweet sweeteners)
- 3 large eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 2 T pumpkin pie spice OR
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp. cloves
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
DIRECTIONS
Step 1
Preheat oven to 325°. Spray a 9” pie plate with cooking spray. In a large bowl, whisk all ingredients. Pour into pie plate and smooth.
Step 2
Bake pie about 1 hour until center slightly jiggles. Turn off oven and prop door open with a wooden spoon and let cool in oven, 1 hour. This keeps your pie from cracking…pro tip!
Step 3
Refrigerate until set, at least 4 hours.
Step 4
Serve with hot coffee and a little whip cream if you like.
