Pumpkin Overload
Breakfast:
Pumpkin Overload was Pumpkin French Toast AND Pumpkin Pancakes.
I made Pumpkin French Toast like my usual recipe… ( 3 egg whites, 1/4 cup pumpkin, whisked well, no sweetener because I don’t like it sweet)
When I had leftover batter the other day, I threw it in the skillet and made sort of a pancake with it. So I decided to really attempt a pancake adding: 3 tsps whole grain flour, 1/4 tsp baking powder, pinch of salt pinch of sugar, and some Quaker Oats (simple harvest with pecans)
I mixed it till moist and dropped into the pan..
It came out really tasty! I will try it again soon! Around it I had mango and blueberries..
Lunch:
Smoothie and Banana ( I had to run to meet up for a campus study session and the battery died from the banana!)
Snack:
I brought this pack of Awesome Almonds with me as part of lunch/ snack to share.
Body:
Run! Jeff and I headed out to the lake and I did two loops + … 6.1 miles in a slower time than usual! Blah! There were people taking up the entire path on the trail. I can’t believe how inconsiderate they are when people try to pass them, they do not even move! Argh! I want to yell at them “Learn some Courtesy!”
Anyway, the weather was gorgeous so my run was fantastic despite all that!
Mind:
Studied for the exam at home on the couch, at home outside, on campus at the student center and in the library. I think the library is my least fav. place for studying… no noise to tune out so I always lose focus.
Soul:
Out to dinner with our newly engaged friends ( I suspected they got engaged awhile ago and sure enough, our friend came over and said they had!) . We went out with them and it was great to catch up!
Dinner:
Appetizer: Michelob Ultra with a couple onion rings and a little cheese fries..
Entree: Grilled Chicken Salad. I almost always get this when we go to this restaurant because it has tons of veggies ( carrots, mushrooms, tomatoes, green pepper, onion, cucumber, romaine) and their chicken always tastes great. I had oil and vinegar dressing but didn’t use much.
