Hello everyone!!

YES YES its me again..:D Still daydreaming about fall, still thinking of ways to make it get here QUICKER!! (do you think if I start to bring out my fall boots/sweaters/etc. it will come faster!?) :D

Anyway, I thought it would be fun to share PUMPKIN ideas...either recipes, store finds, etc...

I know I said it the other day, but I've been REALLY enjoying my

pumpkin coffee...I make regular black coffee, add some sugar-free pumpkin syrup and splash of unsweetened almond milk..AHHHH so good!!

Also, I've made my 'banana pancakes' using PUMPKIN as well...SOOO delish!! (just egg white, 1/2 banana, a scoop of pumpkin puree, and a sprinkle of cinnamon, mixed together and on the griddle like a pancake!) :D

    I've done the pumpkin pancake thing... 1/4 cup pumpkin, 1/4 cup oats, 2 egg whites, cinnamon, brown sugar (if you want), and baking powder. Less than 200 calories and goes GREAT with Justin's All Natural Almond Butter. Such a filling and hearty breakfast for those high intensity workout days.

    I stir pumpkin into my oatmeal with cinnamon and honey. Makes it feel like autumn every time...

    I'm an autumn junkie, so I have plenty more recipes but I have to check the calorie content. Hold that thought... Lol.

    My favorite pumpkin recipe, Pumpkin Whoopie Pies, is definitely not friendly to my new healthy way of eating, unless I make a batch and give away 99% of it. :)

    I LOVE Green Mountain's Pumpkin Spice Coffee, I'm anxiously awaiting it's re-release this month. Also love pumpkin bread and pumpkin pancakes/waffles. I just need to find a way to make them healthier than I used to make them.

    Spiced cider:

    apple cider
    Captian Morgan
    Orange ( or two )
    Cinamon sitx or ground cinnamon

    Cooke cider over stove slowly
    Pour in a gang of Captian
    Add orange slice & cinnamon
    Heat slowly

    Drink and warn yourself up till you have a nice little buzz :) I would also wear fuzzy socks and leggings while drinking this.

    It's not a pumpkin (obviously), but I'm SO ready for baked acorn squash!! This will be my first fall watching my intake so I'm hoping I can limit my pumpkin spice lattes...
