Pumpkin Pie

Good Morning All ~ Happy Monday!  I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend… Mine was nice, relaxing, and productive… unfortunately, it’s over, but hey, there’s always another weekend approaching around the corner!  So far, today seems to be pretty mild, so hopefully I don’t jinx myself by saying that… I feel a huge sense of relief by finishing all the assigned work for my in-person grad class… granted, I still have the online course for work, but that one is definitely not as painful OR as time consuming!

For breakfast this morning, I decided to switch it up and break out the pumpkin, since it’s been a while… I had a lot of interesting ingredients in this mix… 1/4 cup pumpkin, 1/4 cup Kashi Go Lean, 2 tsp of almonds, flax, & cinnamon… I swear it tasted like pumpkin pie, especially with the extra crunch from the cereal… My picture came out tiny today because I am uploading this super quickly before I start the day, so I apologize if you can’t appreciate the full yumminess of this oatmeal combo ;)

Ok well guess I better tackle the day… Hope you all have a great one!

    VeggieGirl ~ you were right about my breakfast holding me over well… it kept me full for a good 4 hrs! hope you have a good day too!

    Romina ~ You too! I love the crunch this provides ;)

    Cara ~ ha, well to be honest, I don’t think pumpkin oats looks appetizing, but it sure tastes yummy!

    Caroline ~ mmm, def try the kitty litter… im addicted!

    RhodeyGirl ~ Well, I am obsessed w/ oatmeal for breakfast, even through the summer… but I do love having Fiber One or Kashi Go Lean w/ almond milk & fresh fruit for breakfast as an alternative! Sometimes I even have pb&j as breakfast too, since it’s not as warm as oats…
