Wow this year, but most especially Fall, is just flying by.  I can&#8217;t believe it&#8217;s November already!  Only four weeks till T-day!  Are you in the planning stages?  Do you cook, do you go somewhere?  Do your order Chinese food?  I cook (like you thought differently <img src='\/images\/wink.gif' alt=';)' \/> ) and I make us a huge spread.  This year I&#8217;m kicking things up a bit and trying some new twists on favorites.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I was up and at &#8217;em early this morning thanks to Rocks who decided that we did not need to be in bed past 7am.  Naturally he&#8217;s gone back to sleep on his downstairs bed and I&#8217;m up for the day.  I actually was starving this morning which surprises me because I felt like I indulged a little yesterday.  I didn&#8217;t think I would be so hungry that soon.   So I decided to make some more pumpkin oats!  Hooray!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1260\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-01-08_oats.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1260\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1260\" title=\"ohc-11-01-08_oats\" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-01-08_oats-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Pumpkin oats!\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-01-08_oats-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-01-08_oats.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1260\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pumpkin oats!<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I made a mammoth bowl of oats too!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1\/2 C quick oats<\/li>\n<li>1 C of vanilla soymilk<\/li>\n<li>1\/2 C of pumpkin<\/li>\n<li>Pinch salt and cinnamon<\/li>\n<li>1 mashed banana<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My mix-ins were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cranberries<\/li>\n<li>Crushed walnuts<\/li>\n<li>Coconut<\/li>\n<li>Chocolate chips (!)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_1261\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-01-08_breakfast.jpg\" data-rel=\"attachment-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1261\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1261\" title=\"ohc-11-01-08_breakfast\" src=\"http:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-01-08_breakfast-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Breakfast\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-01-08_breakfast-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodembrace.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/11\/ohc-11-01-08_breakfast.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1261\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Breakfast<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Seriously, look, my bowl is filled to the top!  The oat combo makes a huge batch of oats.  That&#8217;s just my serving, there was still some left in the pot for Scott&#8217;s breakfast.<\/p>\n<p>I also had the morning coffee with some mint truffle creamer.  Ooooo!  I cannot even tell you how much I love the combination of mint and chocolate.  ADORE it and love the holidays when everything is filled with it.  Also?  Mint M&amp;Ms make their magical appearance.  There&#8217;s no way I&#8217;m going to be able to stay away from those so I might as well just start looking for them now, right?<\/p>\n<p>Except for two bites, I ate my whole bowl of oats.  The creamer was just okay; it was International Delight.  I prefer Coffeemate&#8217;s peppermint stick flavor that comes out for xmas.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know if you can see it in the back, but that&#8217;s the wine from last night.  We didn&#8217;t finish the bottle, can&#8217;t do that anymore.  Back in the day we could polish off a bottle of wine, but not now.<\/p>\n<p>Okay guys, I need to do some stuff around the house before heading to class!  Hopefully I have enough energy to make it through.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy November guys!!! Wow this year, but most especially Fall, is just flying by.
