Pumpkin Pie For One and Closed on Sunday

Breakfast :
Pumpkin Pie For One

I had used up the last of my canned organic pumpkin puree from Trader Joes, so I bought Libby’s. Its so much brighter orange than the organic- I wonder if its fake like how brown sugar is really refined white sugar with coloring & molasses added back to it??

The texture was also very different than my previous recipes.
For the crust I just microwaved steel cut oats with water and spread it out aroudn the bottom of the bowl.

For the filling, I took 1/4 cup Libby’s Pumpkin, 1/4 plus 1/8 cup of egg whites, sprinkle of pumpkin pie spice, sprinkle of sugar and mixed it all very well. Microwaved that for 2 minutes ( my microwave kinda stinks so it took me another 2 minutes ).

I put the filling onto the crust and topped with a little unsweetened coconut and nonfat Oikos Greek Yogurt (plain).

The filling texture was much more like pie than my previous versions, I used too much pie spice but I ate every bite. Jeff tried it but he said after “I hate pumpkin stuff” so I don’t know if he is a fair judge.

We were going to head to some dealerships to test drive Toyota Tacoma’s and Dodge Dakota’s…but just realized they are CLOSED ON SUNDAYS! Bah humbug! So not sure what we will do, some errands, maybe a trip to the trail for a run ( but he plays hockey tonight so we’ll see!)

It was fun, kept me excited and pumped up.

no video because we were running around until evening

We ran some shopping errands, went to the gym, then got back and Jeff made me lunch!!! It was soooo delicious too!

He made salad with organic baby greans, organic fresh cut veggies and purple cabbage and then pan cooked chicken breasts. He used hot sauce, red pepper flakes, and a little worchestire. DELCIOUS! He also gave me two pickle slices because I had wanted to eat my dad’s pickle friday night. I topped mine with a little goddess dressing.

We were immediately off to his alum’s football practice.

That’s the head coach in the red floppy hat. They opened it to the public since they are prepping for a bowl game. His nephew, brother and stepdad met us there. It was raining and chilly and windy but it was alot of fun, especially when we all got to go on the field and talk with the players. his nephew was TRHILLED!

Dinner:
Whole wheat linguini with tomato sauce ( i used tomatoes in basil and oregano, leftover marinara, leftover sicilian sauce* and some chopped olives, a teaspoon of olive oil).

Salad:

I forgot I had organic spicy bean sprouts, AND hearts of palm ( that white thing on the left, they taste like a mild artichoke) so I used them, and then all the same salad ingredients from lunch for my salad ( minus chicken).

My battery died but later in the evening I had a small glass of reisling.
