What's on your menu today, RNYers?

Pumpkin pancakes sounds delish says she who is drinking pumpkin spice coffee!

I love pumpkin pancakes and my son will inhale them like the breath of life.  I've made pumpkin ricotta silver dollar pancakes since the surgery, but I haven't made these in a while.  They are.  so.  good.  Sometimes I add pecan halves for extra deliciousness.

Good Morning Everyone!

Well, I got my spray tan yesterday and I have to say....I love it!  It was such a weird experience, I mean, you're basically naked (except for underwear) and you have this girl spraying you super close.  After getting over the initial embaressment, and the room with nothing but full length mirrors, it wasn't so bad.  It helped that the spray tanner was a really nice girl who was great at making me feel comfortable.  And of course, I really like the results.  Don't get me wrong, I'm still pale, but I'm a less dramatic shade of ghostly white and I don't look orange (like I always do with self tanners) so for me it's a win.  She offered to make me even darker, but I opted for a more natural look, I'm not going to fool anyone into thinking I'm Brazilian, so that wasn't the look I was going for.  Anyways, it's not something I plan on doing regularly, but it's nice to have in the beauty arsenal when a special event comes up. 

Time since surgery: 8.5 wks

B - Greek Yogurt w/ blueberries and almond slivers

L - TBD (will be on the road to the wedding, it's up in Nor Cal)

D - Rehearsal Dinner, I have no idea what they are serving, but I feel confident they'll be some sort of protein and veggie, so I'll improvise.  

W/V - Water on track, I forgot to pack my vitamins :(  Luckily I'll be back Sun, so it's only 2 days, but still!  I was so worried about forgetting to pack my dress and heels, I forgot about my damn vits!

E - None, hopefully lots of walking around today.  If not I may need to do some serious jogging in place in my hotel later tonight to get my steps up :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

I'm glad the spray tan was a hit! Doing something to feel even MORE confident as awesome. Have a fantastic time at the wedding and kiss a firefighter!!!

Hope you have a great weekend DG,and have fun with the firemen!

Good Morning.  I have been craving pumpkin flavored anything so I am going to try a few different recipes this week.  Anny, how do you think adding pumpkin to your coolwhip FROYO would taste?  I think I am going to try adding that and maybe a little pumpkin pie spice to some fat free coolwhip.  I have also tried and really liked Eggface's cinnamon ricotta pancakes.  I like them even better the next day cold as a snack.  I am thinking of adding pumpkin to that recipe also.  Does anyone have any other ideas for anything pumpkin flavored? 

B:  premier protein, tea

S:  Greek yogurt

L:  pepper crisps with turkey and laughing cow--this may change because we are headed out shopping and may not be home for lunch

S:  honeycrisp and PB2--the apple has so many carbs but I just love them.

D:  leftover tortilla crusted tilapia

S:  popcorn. 

Have a great day everyone.

Hey Patty, I'm not a pumpkin fan, but I bet doing Cool Whip with maybe a cup of pumpkin puree would work well. But I bet eating it thawed would be better than frozen like I do it was the yogurt.

Let us know how your recipe testing goes!

I know I've purchased some pumpkin pie flavored yogurt in the past several weeks; Chobani, maybe?  You could use that for the FroYo.  I actually prefer it unfrozen, just mixed together so it's fluffy like mousse.  Yum.

I think the pumpkin froyo would be delicious! Let us know how it turns out!

where do you buy the Kays protein products?
