Hump Day Poll: Newsworthy?

source If that brings you warm fuzzies, you're welcome.  If you don't know what the heck that's referring to, then you might be too young to understand most of my references here and should probably brush up !   We are going on year 9 of not having watched the news.  I remember the last time we went to Kauai in 2016 (holy crap, that makes me want to cry) we didn't watch the news once and couldn't believe how much happier we were.  We decided to see how long we could push it and here we are almost a decade later.   It's enough to be inundated on internet sites on the hourly with the latest dumpster fire lit that should have nothing to do with the kind of stuff it's reporting but to voluntarily watch the news just is not something I have in me.  I rarely watch live tv because of the commercials (well more commercials) but I left it on once a few years ago when a show I was watching went live and the news came on right after.  I wasn't watchin...

Pumpkin Pie Oatmeal

I feel it my duty as a self-designated Fall freak to get you all well prepared for the arrival of Autumn tomorrow afternoon with this bowl of deliciousness to start off your day.



What you'll need:
Oats (or plain quinoa if you prefer but it should be pre-cooked)
Milk
Pumpkin Butter
Cardamom or Pumpkin Spice
Walnuts

Measure out one serving of rolled oats.


Add 4 ounces of milk.


Give it a spin around the turntable in the microwave for 1 minute.

Add 2 tbsp of pumpkin butter.


Give it a mix, add a pinch of cardamom or your favorite Fall spice and stir.


Top it with half a serving of walnuts or pecans (15g) and pair it with a cup of salted caramel tea and you are officially ready to usher in the new season!


Now bring on the sweatshirts, fuzzy socks, cuddling under a blankie on a crisp night and blazing red, yellow and orange on the trees!



What's your favorite thing about Fall?

  1. I have had this oatmeal as well as the tea and can vouch for both being extremely yummy. Do yourselves a favor and have them for breakfast!

  2. That sounds yummy. I love Halloween, all things pumpkin, and potato soup which I always make the first really cold day of fall.

  3. My favorite thing about fall strolling in a park or driving through the country surrounded by all the changing colors. There's a somberness to this time of year and I love the quietness that comes with it.
