Fall's Favorite
On the day of our engagement, Ryan and I stopped by Whole Foods for a yummy lunch from the salad and hot bars. The intention was to only stop for lunch… ha! Naturally I wanted to browse, mainly because Whole Foods offers tons of free samples and I’m a sucker for tasty nibbles.
(As my retirement job one day, I secretly want to be the sample lady at the grocery store.I want to prepare delicious bites for shoppers and I won’t give people weird looks if they want more than one sample. I get it. Samples are awesome.)
While wondering up and down the aisles, I stumbled upon a new bar made by Kashi.
Kashi Pumpkin Pie Bar
Couple Kashi with pumpkin and I knew this was a recipe for success.
My breakfast this morning was topped with a crumbled Kashi pumpkin pie bar.
Pumpkiny Good
I blended a half a cup of cottage cheese with a half a cup of pumpkin, several shakes of pumpkin pie spice and a little bit of sweetener.
Pumpkin Pie "Cheesecake"
I topped the mix (which tastes a lot like pumpkin pie cheesecake) with the Kashi bar for crunch and extra flavor.
Bowl of Pumpkin Fun
Breakfast was mmm, mmm pumpkin-good. I served the pumpkin cheesecake mix with a hot cuppa Yogi tea and a Viactiv calcium chew.

Breakfast is Served
Gettin' My Calcium
I LOVE these calcium chews and could eat them like candy. Mo’ calcium and vitamin D fo’ me!
Question: What’s your favorite thing to do with pumpkin (& yes, carve it is a great answer)?

I love baking pumpkin bread and pumpkin muffins.
My favorite thing to do with pumpkin is go buy Dreyer’s Slow Churned Pumpkin Ice Cream! 😀 haha

Great idea with the pumpkin and the pumpkin bar! I will be on the hunt for those!
I love eating pumpkin oatmeal cookies! Being a sample lady would be so much fun!

Well, your pumpkin protein pancakes of course!! 😉 😀
And – pumpkin cookies or cheesecake or blizzards. I love all those too. But I don’t “do” those…I just eat them. LOL

I’ll have to say pumpkin bread but pumpkin cookies are a close second!!

Oh – and btw, your pork and apples recipe was SUCH a hit last week, that I am making it again tonight! Thanks!
