Fall is ON ITS WAY!! Lets share delish PUMPKIN treats!:D

ShelbyLB · August 2011

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!?)

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!)

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.

Totally not healthy but every fall I go crazy for pumpkin chocolate chip muffins. Mmmm with a pumpkin spice latte is perfect.

jemko · August 2011

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.
