What is pumpkin butter? Sounds good....

Same thing as peanut butter, only with pumpkin and pumpkin pie spices in it. I also got organic apple butter.

I went originally for Almond Butter, but it was hella expensive. I got both the pumpkin and apple for less than what one jar of the Almond would have been.

Where did you find it??

A Whole Foods type place we have in Texas called "Central Market". In the nut butter and jelly aisle. I don't eat bread very often, but it'll be a nice treat occasionally. I'm gonna try a bit with my eggs and turkey bacon in the AM.

Ok, the baby was running a fever all day yesterday, so he was grouchy and clingy. I didn't get to update my food log, and honestly I don't even remember what all I ate now.

A still doesn't feel well, so we are goingto the Dr's here in a bit.

Just put a big pot of cabbage on the stove to boil. My grandmother is probably ROFL in her grave. I remember being a young girl and turning up my nose whenever we went to g-ma's house and she had cabbage. No way was I going to eat that "yucky" stuff. LOL.

Meh. I shouldn't have had the cereal. But it was easy and comforting after dealing with a sick kid all day. Still only put me about 24 g of carbs over my "goal" for low carb days.

HIGH CARB DAY

7:30 AM
3 HB egg whites
2 tsp. Pumpkin Butter
1/2 c. Oatmeal w/Splenda & cinnamon

NO WORKOUT TODAY. The baby was still running a 102 degree fever at 2 AM. Looks like a good day to get the house clean. *sigh*

11:15 AM
5 ozs. Chix Breast
4 ozs. Baked Yam
1.5 c. Boiled Cabbage
Sonya's Starbucks Pumpkin Pie Frappuchino knock off: 1 scoop Vanilla Protein mix. This was SO yummy! Not quite Starbucks quality, but good enough that I'll be making it again. LOL.

It's hard finding protein smoothies that don't all involve lots o' fruit. Coffee variations are the only one's I've found so far.

1:45 PM
1 oz Slivered Almonds

4:00 PM
5 ozs. Chix Breast
1.5 c. Boiled Cabbage
1 handful mini pretzels

What exactly is this?

 

[aandd]

Starbucks makes a Pumpkin Pie Frappuchino that is sooo yummy. Only it has 400 calories and a gazillion grams of carbs and fat. So I made my own.

1 scoop vanilla Protein Mix
1 TBSP Pumpkin Butter
1 tsp. instant coffee
1.5 cup water
2 Splenda packets

Blender it together for 45 sec. Add a few cubes of ice and blender it together for another 30 sec. or so. Pour in a glass and add a few cubes ice to chill.

YUMMY.

140 cals, 1g fat, 10g Carbs, and 24g Protein

you could use skim milk in place of the 1/2 cup water for a thicker taste.

Edit: If you don't have Pumpkin Butter, you could use some of that canned pumpkin and 1/8 tsp of pumpkin pie spice.
