Smoothies!

I thought  you were an engineer ... do the math and reduce all your recipes by 12.5%

That actually is really annoying.  Kinda like the 10 hot dogs in a pack and only 8 buns.  Damn the marketing people!!

loooove pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin bread, and pumpkin chili.

oddly, pumpkin pie is one of those things where I can take it or leave it.

i love all things pumpkin.  ALL THINGS.

Just remember, when you find it you need to share.

I agree, I just made a pumpkin beer last weekend.  Should be perfect by Thanksgiving!

YES PLEASE!  i have not yet figured out how to make pancakes without milk.  i must figure this out to save my marriage.  husband wants pancakes, i want to be dairy-free.  compromise!

Morning Drive-by TAN Hello!

Hope all is well.  Getting sick of this actually having to get work done at work thing.  Really interrupts my internet and paperwork time!

Morning TAN

I think it rained last night. Smells soooo good outside!

For the record, the gym didn't burn down, so the sunglasses must've stayed on. And I think she's training for tightrope walking. No joke. I'm going to ask her next time.

Was feeling bad b/c it seemed I opened some negative hole in the universe yesterday (not my intention). Obviously I wasn't catching the very witty comments made between "Mom, I need..." and making sure the other one didn't swan dive off the table. Lesson learned when I looked back through what I thought was going to be pages of devastation 

^^^Yes!

Has anyone had pumpkin choc chip cookies?

Philistine!!!

Okay... here's the recipe I found in my "Paleo Comfort Foods" cookbook:

4 large eggs
4 large egg whites
1 cup (250 mL) canned pumpkin
1/2 cup (75g) almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup (125 mL) coconut milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup (50g) pecans, crushed (optional)
1-2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil 

The only thing to note (from the book) is to prepare them as normal pancakes, but they won't bubble like traditional pancakes as the batter is about thicker.  Medium heat for the 1st side takes about 2-3 minutes and another 1-3 minutes on the other side. 

those sound so gooood.

I have a feeling that I'm going to be cooking with pumpkin this weekend.  I'm getting all kinds of hungry.

Fall is an awesome time of year for food.... pumpkin, acorn squash, all kinds of savory comfort foods.

Mmm - SO GOOD! 

Hi TAN. 

Yawn....it's going to be a long day!

Hi Teej.......maybe in a good long day for you? 

Agreed - definitely a long day ahead.   I need to get off my tukus and get on my bike for an hour and a half. 

It's fun. Slimy! Throw the guts around, but don't waste the seeds. Roast those with a little salt. Tasty

Coffee up! Halfway to lunch, right?

Pumpkins are the shiz. So many great childhood memories around this time of year; M80's in Jack O Lanterns, smashing them in the street, egging house, scaring the carp out of people. I love Halloween!
