Pumpkin Pick-Up

I’m back, sorry for being flakey!  I’ve been feeling under the weather this week, as well as under-motivated.  I would say three days were enough though, it is time to snap back 🙂

I got up at 7 this morning and took a nice leisurely shower to start off my day.  Breakfast was all about Pumpkin Pie Through a Straw.

For this one I did 1C pumpkin puree, 1T maple syrup, 1/2C skim milk, 1serving plain fatfree Oikos, and a dash pumpkin pie spice.  It is super filling, and less than 300calories.  If you plan on making this yourself be warned – it is more like pudding than a smoothie.

I took a break from studying to write this post but now I’ve got to get back.  I’ve got lots of things I hope to accomplish today:

  • finish 2 sets of post-lab work
  • write my pre-lab for today
  • make 2 sets notecards for my quiz next week
  • eat up some of the fruit that’s all over the fridge
  • make dinner
  • recitation/lab at 5-8:50

Have you had your first pumpkin of the season yet?  How did you enjoy it?  I’m looking forward to a pumpkin spice latte.

  1. good luck with your school stuff!!!

    I’ve had my pumpkin oatmeal, but I can’t wait to carve some pumpkins 🙂 I have to remember to buy them soon!

  2. Pumpkin? Bleh! Now candy corn is another story… And caramel apples: I got the caramels to melt in the microwave (with a wee bit of cream cheese for smoothness). Slice up a red and a green apple and we’re set for watching Friday night videos of the TV shows we taped! Wish you were here!
