All this talk of pumpkin has my creative side wondering if you could make pumpkin cookies like the peanut butter ones talked about so much. maybe pumpkin, egg, brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice? I might have to try it.
You can mix a can of pumpkin (not the pie mix) with a box of spice cake mix and make cookies out of them. They are very dense and best kept in the fridge after you bake them. Mine usuall don't last that long. I think it is 350 on the oven for about 8 minutes. They are very soft.0 -
Did you guys get 'Snowtember' last year? We lost thousands of trees here this time last year with a heavy, wet snowstorm while all the leaves were still on the trees. The weight just peeled off branches like banana skins - it was crazy.
I don't think it was that bad, but we definitely got some at the beginning of September.0 -

I think I would add a little cornstarch or xanthan gum as pumpkin is thinner than peanut butter and I think the cookie would crumble when you pick it up.

If we let fear win, nobody would do anything or go anywhere and no, that is no way to live!
@MelissaPhippsFeagins I hope nothing comes of those rumours and it was just some kids playing an awful prank.
Thanks for your concern. High school dismissed at 2:45. Nothing happened, except the school nurse thinks son 2 may have bronchitis. He didn't have a fever, so he stayed, but a trip to urgent care is in his future.

On July 1 my doctor said that my labs were a huge concern
A1c was 6.4 which meant my average blood sugar was 130 (one point away from being a diabetic)
Triglycerides were156 norm was <150
Cholesterol was 248 norm 125-200
HDL 51 norm >46
LDL 166 norm <130
Ratio 4.9 norm<5
With these labs I was headed for some serious long-term morbidity. And high chance of a heart attacks in the future if I continued down this path. He had prescribed metformin but some how there was a mix-up between his pharmacy and his office and when I called his office they stated that it was not ordered.
He explained that I could change this with changes in my diet and exercise.
When I complained my legs hurt all the time his answer was, “You don’t have to do a lot just start moving some. Then add exercises as you can.
After a search of food diaries on July 4 I started with MFP I started with an average of 6621 steps a day felt exhausted and slept a lot. Last week my average was 10442
I started just logging what I ate making sure it was under my calorie goals but making sure I ate my protein goals. I continued to eat what I wanted. I have not been hungry or did I feel deprived. On average my splits were 40% carb 30%protein, and 30% fat
Today at my follow up visit my doctor came into my room almost giddy and said, “You are batting 1000”
A1c 5.5 normal range
Triglycerides 81
Cholesterol 189
HDL 54
LDL 119
Ratio 3.5
And 31 lbs lost
I was able to where a pair of shorts and shirt that I have not worn for several years.
Life style change and exercise works!
I don't think I have ever been excited about being called normal before.
That is Excellent!!! I am happy for and proud of you!0 -

Ooh I have been checking! I signed up for alerts but nothing yet. I will be registering. What day day does it open?? Sooooo excited!
I was thinking it's probably insane there during this time. Should we buy Grand Ole Opry tickets now???
I got an email this morning. It says it opens on 9/16.
Hmm. Yeah, maybe we should look at the Opry now. I don't know if you realize it, but ticket scalping is legal in Tennessee. It can be tough to get tickets for any show for that reason.0 -
Hi guys!
I have no hope of catching up. I have been watching my food intake, but I confess that I had no motivation to do any upper body stuff for the last two weeks as my ankle has been healing. I did nothing except walk my kids to school. I've gone out for longer walks twice this week though. Back at it!
I just pinned a recipe for baked pumpkin donuts. I am going to try it very soon.
I missed so much. I hope everyone is doing well.0 -
So true!
I am a lot more affected by today then I thought I would be. I was on my way to work and our city was putting a row of flags out, I got seriously choked up.
Good luck this weekend @pofoster21 !!! to @m1xm0d3 as well
My boss and I were discussing where we were when it all happened and we both started tearing up, it's emotional that's for sure, just thinking of all those innocent people, so awful. Getting choked up again...:(0 -

I was here at work when it happened. It was so unreal. I remember calling my grandpa later that night because I just didn't understand.0 -

I'm not American but I remember that day too. I didn't hear about it until I got to school (I'd just started grade 12). When I went home at lunch I put the news on. They were replaying the towers collapsing and I just cried. I still tear up too

Nice. We have this awesome bakery here that these amazing jelly donuts with a PB frosting that will make you wanna slap your momma. Oh man, I haven't had one in ages. I'm due.
Today when I came into work my coworker was eating a Peanut Butter donut. At first I was grossed out, because I thought it had a huge hunk of butter on the top.0 -
MFP is causing me to want white chocolate candy corn M&Ms
... which would require a trip to the US...
You're not missing much to be honest since they don't even have a candy corn flavor.0 -

Aside from here and the group, I spend most of my forum time checking out the New Products thread in Food and Nutrition.
With pumpkin flavored stuff, I really want to try these and the pumpkin spice Mini Wheats.
I seen the Mini Wheats one time at Giant & now cannot seem to find them anywhere. Those cookies look amazing.
I am such a kid at heart & bought two boxes of Frankenberry.0 -

Blasphemy! I love fall. I can't wait for jacket weather.
ETA: It occurs to me that Canadian fall is probably not what I'd like fall to be. I'll just be over here with my apple cider...
I am ready to wear my boots again!
I might look on www.6pm.com for another pair or maybe Amazon.
Tory Burch has a lot of cute boots, but I am not paying a few hundred for one pair.0 -

This weekend is my birthday weekend (it's actually on Sunday). I was hoping to be under 100kg by now but I've only missed it by a kilo so I'm ok with that.
I am going to eat ALL OF THE FOOD this weekend and have ZERO regrets. 0 -

I am a fall/winter person. I like sweaters, tights, high boots, etc. I do not like summer clothes. I am always glad when fall hits.
I agree I love seeing how people layer their clothes, their boots, & the different jacks they wear.
Plus it's better to see customers in more clothes rather than seeing less of them.0
