Boring Weekend Recap

source Monday, we meet again.  You come on like lightning you saucy wench.  I hope you all had a great weekend and managed to keep cool.  We got up to 96 at different times so that's...fun.     I have to start with these two cards I got in the mail Thursday night. The big paper one is from the friends we gifted our old grill to.  The Mr and I cracked up at the hot dog 'thanks' on what is an exact image of the grill along with a lovely note from the Mrs of the couple thanking us profusely as they didn't have money to replace their grill that was falling apart.  The other is from my friend I've known since 1988 and he doesn't send out cards much so this was a surprise.  It was him telling us how lucky he is to have us a friends and how much we mean to him and he thought we should know.  It made me cry for sure (and then of course check in to make sure he was okay.  He is.)  Obviously any kind of communication is appreciated but t...

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.
