I want to be adventurous. I really do.
I look at my friends and wish I could live vicariously through them but the truth is, my idea of adventure is trying a new latte flavor at Starbucks. Sad, I know.
Today I asked the Barista to create a short Toasted Graham Latte instead of my normal Skinny Vanilla Latte. I knew I was in trouble (Weight Watchers point-wise) when she swirled a bit of whip cream on top and sprinkled tiny bits of graham cracker on top, but I gulped it down took one for the team, and let me just say…it was worth every single point. Yum to the max, my friend!
Fall is the perfect season for us to venture out — turning onto an unknown back road, taking up a new hobby, or going to a place we’ve always wanted to visit but haven’t. Or, for the more adventurous at heart, trying a new Fall flavor latte at Starbucks. 🙂
Now there’s no way I could tempt you with such a delight without offering an opportunity to win a cup of your own, so simply fill in the blank below via the comment section, and you’ll be signed up for a random drawing being held Wednesday, October 14th.

Just one more way to love, love, love this spectacular season.
I'm not a huge fan of the popular pumpkin spice lattes, so I usually stick with my usual, caramel macchiato. However, once in awhile I can be persuaded to try a "new" seasonal flavor, just to mix it up a bit and be a little adventurous!
Hi Karla! I'm not crazy about pumpkin lattes either but I enjoyed the tester so much I'm drinking a Venti Skinny Toasted Graham latte as I type! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and share. Good luck with the drawing. 🙂
Mmmmm! Toasted graham sounds good. Will have to try one this week. Can't wait to see you in a few weeks!
Same here, Desi! I'm trying hard not to rush through the next couple of weeks in anticipation of our weekend in November — but it's not easy. 🙂 Let me know what you think of the latte. I had another one today. If you like whip cream it will sweeten it up a little more. Today, I added my own fat free whip when I got home. It's yummy with or without. Enjoy and good luck in winning a free latte on me!
Now that it's getting cooler here in Ohio, warm and fun drinks are becoming more inticing to try!
Our son and daughter-in-law live in OH! They're in Morrow. 🙂 Nice meeting you here, Tammy! Thanks for stopping by and sharing. Good luck with the drawing — it would come in handy for one of those warm and fun drinks!
For the summer, I've been partial to the Hazelnut Frappe, but now that cooler weather is coming, I'm happy with just plain old coffee…or a caramel macchiato.
That sounds yummy, Mary Beth! I've never had anything from Sbucks with hazelnut but I'm giving that a try. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by and good luck with the drawing!
i always get the chai tea in the fall! but maybe i should branch out 🙂
That's the beauty of a gift card — you can try new things without any loss! ha! Good luck..
Thanks for sharing!
I'm usually not adventuresome either… but last year my Dad got me to "branch out", and now the salted caramel mocha is my go to during fall :).
Now that's another drink I've not tried, Bri — but it sounds quite yummy! Good for your dad. 🙂
I'm putting in the names to the random picker for the contest this afternoon so I'm glad you entered in time. 🙂
Thanks again for stopping by. I really enjoyed your site. Will visit again!
