Pumpkin Frenzy
Hey everyone!
For those in the US, how was your Thanksgiving day and Black Friday? Ours were pretty quiet and in fact we both had to work the day after the T-Day, which was a little bummer. At least I had a choice to work from home and it was only half day.
We didn’t like crowds so much so no Black Friday shopping either. We enjoyed our quiet T-Day and Black Friday.
Anyway, it’s Pumpkin season now!! I am not quite experience cooking with pumpkin but I couldn’t hold myself not to experiment with them. Since I am one lazy ass person, I rather bought canned pumpkin so I don’t have to cook/roast, carve and mash them myself. I like simplicity and practical.
Here’s a little snapshot what kind of pumpkin kitchen experiments I’ve been doing.
One of the recipe wasn’t created by me was the Pumpkin Pancakes. I adapted Diane’s Balance Bites recipe and halved it. And since I’m still on my Carb Nite Solution, I made 3 servings (3 medium pancakes) from half of her recipe and only ate 2 of them along with my other protein and fat breakfast today.
Here’s the nutrition breakdown for 1 serving (1 medium pancake)
We didn’t have any turkey on T-Day so to make it up, we had a roasted chicken on Friday instead! 🙂
I will post the other 2 recipes if they came out right! 😀
Have a great Weekend!

how is your carb cycling going? do you notice any improvement in body comp yet or is it too soon to tell? i had to go into work on black friday for a bit but i totally agree about crowds. i hate that! i’m much more of an online shopper 🙂 crowds do not make me anxious but i definitely do not ‘thrive’ on people being pushy and shoving for material items. it makes me sort of sad actually! i don’t like to see greed like that during a time where you should be having an ‘attitude of gratitude.’
