I am all for it!

I ordered the Parmesan crusted sole that came with sauteed spinach in a lemon thyme sauce, delish. Marc ordered the duck breast with a 5-spice ginger sauce and sauteed Kale. (marc’s picture was a little blurry the lighting was very bad on his side!) We also got a side of brussel sprouts.

My meal was so yummy, I wanted to eat every bite, but ended up packing 1/2 of my meal to go. My stomach is not able to fit a lot of food these days and I find myself eating frequent small meals.

This morning we got up and had a Dunkin pumpkin spice coffee (a saturday ritual the past few weeks) ate some breakfast and then took Cooper to the park for a walk. It was gorgeous out and perfect weather for a morning walk.

Now we are heading out to run some errands before a party tonight for Marc’s softball team. Should be a great Saturday!

Okay okay, I know it is only September 1st but I couldn’t wait any longer……

I am a HUGE fan of anything pumpkin flavored, and I woke up this morning craving some Pumpkin Spice Coffee. Yes, I actually think this is one of my first cravings!

I could’ve just walked to Dunkin Donuts (1/2 mile away) or drove to Starbucks and bought a cup but I know that their flavored coffee is loaded with sugar! The Starbucks Tall12oz Pumpkin Spiced Latte has 200 calories (that is with skim milk and no whipped cream)

My version has 20 calories!

PUMPKIN SPICE COFFEE

Ingredients:

½ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

½ teaspoon cinnamon

6 tablespoons regular coffee grounds (your choice of brand)

Directions:

Mix the spices in with your coffee grounds, place in your coffee maker and enjoy a nice hot cup of FALL flavor!

Serving Size: 1 cup of coffee with 2 tablespoons of skim milk only 20 calories

For added sweetness: use stevia!

This coffee flavor is NOT over powering and the added cinnamon cuts out some of the strong pumpkin spice. If you prefer a spicier flavor I would use 1 tsp of pumpkin spice and omit the extra cinnamon!!

Enjoy your Sunday! 

If you have any pumpkin recipes be sure to leave a comment with the recipe, I would love to try it!
