What I'm Reading This Week #29

Howdy do all and welcome to your Friday.  I hope your week treated you well and you're ready to recharge a bit.  You know, when I started this gardening business, I had delusions of like, actually enjoying it maybe with my morning tea before the day got hectic.   source Instead it's like the second the plants went into the ground, Mother Nature turned it to 11 and hasn't let up. The wall of humidity is ridiculous!  I can't even go out to water or do something simple without looking like I was back on the chain gang for 8 hours.  Or I get to see the 500th mistake I've made and end up ripping out my strawberry plants or moving other plants because they might be too close together.  Watching my 4 puny tomatoes laugh at me as they choose not to ripen or grow while other people talk about mad harvests in which they can't pick them fast enough.  I will say the bees have been making me happy out front.  I was at the planter and one was working on a ...

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?

  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.
