I literally spent most of the weekend in my p.j.’s cleaning and organizing and rearranging. It felt so good to have the windows open and fill up the house with all that fresh air!
I must admit, I can’t seem to stop the Pumpkin Madness. I opened up a can of Pumpkin to add to whatever it was I made first, and now I can’t seem to stop until all of the pumpkin from that can is gone!! I’m soooo close.
Saturday Breakfast – Pumpkin Butter Oatmeal
Saturday Lunch – I have eaten almost all off my Butternut Squash Chili
Saturday Dinner
I never actually ate dinner. The day literally got away from me and I was so busy, I simply wasn’t hungry. Not something I would advise, and I did find enough room for a few glasses of wine while sitting around a Fire-Pit with friends, but I just didn’t’ eat a meal.
Sunday Breakfast – Pumpkin Butter Oatmeal
Sunday Lunch, for real……(sorry for the gross picture)
Sunday Snack – I can’t stop the Pumpkin!!!!
Pumpkin Protein Shake, You Guys! It’s like Pumpkin Ice Cream!!!
Go Chiefs! 6-0! Whoo Whoo!!
Snack – Roasted Pumpkin Pie Chickpea’s
A friend of mine sent me a Pinterest recipe on Sunday morning, and before the Chiefs game was over, I had made it! These were not crunchy. I was expecting them to be, but they were yummy!
1 Serving = 4 PPV
Sunday Dinner – I made marinara for the very first time with home grown tomatoes!
My Marinara sauce ended up tasting pretty good, but it ended up being one of those things where I kept tasting it, and then adding spices, and I have no idea what I really put into it, but I will tell you that I added Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Allspice. I know that sounds odd, but when I was married to Tess’ dad, his mom made a spaghetti sauce with those spices cooked into the meat AND into the sauce and I loved it. She passed away several years ago, and Tess always liked the memory of her when I would add those spices to my jar of Ragu. 🙂
I’ll try it again one day, and if I get it right, I’ll share.
