I had pumpkin oatmeal and coffee with a dash of cinnamon for breakfast today. I love welcoming pumpkin back into my life! And yes, my oatmeal is bright orange because I added a lot of pumpkin. But in my world one can never have too much! And it's healthy so there's that too. Now that I have an open can of pumpkin in my fridge I need to decide what I want to make with the rest of it (besides more pumpkin oatmeal, of course).
I finally made my way to Whole Foods yesterday and just had to stop at Bath & Body Works next door to smell all of their wonderful fall scents. It took me forever to decide, but I finally settled on the Warm Apple Cider hand soap. I wash my hands quite frequently so I love that I will be smelling fall all day long.
NFL football season officially kicks off tonight. I am super excited, especially since I have two fantasy players going tonight (Eli Manning and Dan Bailey, Dallas' kicker). I hope my team does better than it did last year!
Have you started cooking with pumpkin yet? Any suggestions for what I should make?
Do you use fall-scented hand soaps?
Will you be watching football tonight?
I went to B&BW yesterday and got a couple of fall scented candles - Autumn Day (my fave!), Apple Cider, and a Balsam Fir one that I'll probably save until closer to Christmas. We have an artificial tree so I'll need the canadle to help me pretend it's a real pine tree :) The only thing I use pumpkin in is cookies - though maybe this year I should try to make a pumpkin pie!
ReplyDeleteAutumn Day smelled really good! I was going to get a Wallflower one, but I wanted to find our insert first to make sure we still had it. I LOVE the smell of fir! We have a Woodwick candle we burn at Christmastime that smells like it.
DeleteDefinitely try a pumpkin pie! It's one of my favorites and super easy to make. :)
I just saw my first pumpkin post of the season about 5 minutes ago, so it's definitely fall! It feels too warm right now for pumpkin, but I'll be pulling it out of the cupboard before long.
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely still warm so I am looking forward to some cooler temperatures. I hear this weekend will be pretty nice though!
DeleteI love pumpkin!! I haven't cooked with it yet, but I love the way it smells! Especially when I am baking. ;) I can't wait until it gets cooler so that I can dig out all of my Fall/pumpkin stuff!
ReplyDeleteI agree! Even though I've used some pumpkin already I have yet to put out my fall decorations since it has still been so hot here. Hoping for a cool-down soon!
DeleteHey! I found your blog through 4thesakeofcake! I had my first taste of pumpkin over the weekend. So delicious. I can't wait to use it more this fall :)
ReplyDeleteYum! I am definitely already thinking about what to make next! :)
