Sunday Funday

Today was a great day. When I woke up the sun was shining, I had nothing pressing to do, AND I was in great company . I relaxed for the majority of the morning and early afternoon decided I needed a pick-me-up.

A hot, frothy Pumpkin Latte did the trick.I made some Starbucks Verona coffee, on the strong side. Then warmed up some almond milk, pumpkin puree and a cinnamon/nutmeg/vanilla spice blend. Delish!

Late afternoon, hunger struck. So I whipped up some pumpkin hummus. If I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times I AM NOT SICK OF PUMPKIN YET! I know, I know. I have no shame. And this hummus was AWESOME.

Into the food processor went:

• 1/2 can of drained/rinsed chick peas
• 1/2 can pumpkin puree
• juice of 1/2 lemon
• about 1/4 c. tahini
• 2 tsp minced garlic
• a good glug of Frank’s Buffalo Sauce

Awesome with pita chips AND carrots. I’m seriously trying to get over my love/hate relationship with raw carrots. I don’t mind them dipped (generously) in hummus. I ate all seven you can see there on my plate.

Dinner was a Mama Pea recipe and some super easy, yet delicious, beer bread. But I’ll post more on that later. So I leave you with this, because I like it (both visually and because it’s something to keep in mind).
