Lately

Ahoy there! Last week felt short because my parents were here through Monday. I also got way too used to leaving my big camera at home, so I’ll do better next week : ) Here’s what I’ve been eating…

b5

Cinnamon Raisin Walnut toast with egg, banana, peach and blackberries

Foodblog-9516

Egg, toasted Apple Cobbler Swirl (!!! New bread at Great Harvest !!!), nectarine and Cotton Candy grapes. I thought the grapes were really nice green grapes, but they didn’t really taste like cotton candy to me.

Foodblog-9679

Pancakes! Great Harvest mix with raspberries and banana slices

Foodblog-9665

Hi there giant can of pumpkin!!!

Foodblog-0001

Matt brewed a pumpkin beer and left me several pounds to consume. We made pumpkin meatloaf (see below) and the doughiest pumpkin pancakes ever!

Foodblog-0022

Crispy on the outside and oh-so-doughy on the inside. Just how I <3 them

Foodblog-0023

The next day I made pumpkin yogurt with oats, blackberries, banana and sunbutter. More than its taste, what I love most about pumpkin is how filling it is.

Foodblog-

And finally…leftover pancakes. In our toasted oven they are 90% as good as the day they were made. With a drizzle of thick maple syrup and fruit on the side.

Foodblog-0048

Foodblog-9604

This was a strange but good salad. Spinach with leftover chicken and lima beans, tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. A Spinach Feta roll on the side.

Foodblog-9603

One day I met Matt for lunch at Whole Foods. Family outing. Mazen loved his hot bar treats.

Foodblog-124106

This salad featured spinach, tomatoes, smoked salmon, mustard, herby cheese and half of a Virginia hamburger bun. 

Foodblog-0027

And here’s the lunch I had with my parents – at Whiskey Jar! Local green salad with delicious croutons, tomatoes, cuc and catfish on top. Plus a side of their amazing single pan of cornbread.

Foodblog-132214

Matt and I developed a pumpkin meatloaf with a pumpkin barbecue sauce that I can’t wait to share with you later this week!

Foodblog-0019

Later in the week we had more for leftovers with herby rice and salad

Foodblog-0044Foodblog-0042

Karen joined us for dinner and brought over a recipe for a Thai tofu dish.

Foodblog-0028

It featured noodles (supposed to be rice but we used fresh pasta) with carrots, spinach, egg, lime, garlic, a brown sugar-soy sauce and peanuts and cilantro for garnish.

Foodblog-0029

Here is our weekly Mexican night! Fresh October beans we cooked from Pot Luck Farm with corn, tomatoes, bacon, cheese, and lots of avocado-yogamole.

Foodblog--3

It’s almost fall y’all!

      Girl, I’ve been reading your blog for years and I have to thank you for introducing me to the love of my life: pumpkin. Sure, I’ve always loved pumpkin pie, but then you taught me about pumpkin oatmeal, pumpkin pancakes and now pumpkin meatloaf! Although I’m vegan and won’t be enjoying that last one (maybe I can work something out with seitan or tofu) you’ve proven once again that with a little creativity, pumpkin can take over the (culinary) world! Muhahahaha

    Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin! I still think it’s too early to be eating it, (it’s a seasonal thing, y’know?) but I can’t wait until it cools down around here to get my first can! The pumpkin oats look delicious. I’m very much looking forward to the pumpkin BBQ sauce.

    Oh my gosh! Pumpkin meatloaf… I’ve never thought of doing something like that before… or even adding pumpkin to my meat in general! One time we had pumpkin ravioli with meatballs and it was amazing… I’m guessing it’s the same taste-ish?

    I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of pumpkin oats…I tried them last year, and could barely even finish it. Maybe I used too much? I will have to try it out again this year 😉
