Good news! I have completed two weeks at my new jobs! Hurray!! Money for groceries and gas! Thankfully though, I have tons of apples that are still hanging on in the orchard- we have several late season trees and we had such a bountiful year! I have been eating apple slices dipped in cinnamon sugar basically every day. I am trying to store as many as I can in the fridge but there isn't a lot of room. We unfortunately don't have a cellar where we can store extra fruit... this should happen though....hmmm.
Anyhow I hope everyone has had a wonderful couple of weeks. The leaves have turned and it is so pretty! I personally love fall with it's crisp air and warmish sunshine. When I was at the gym last Wednesday I saw this super cute little guy (no more than 2 ft tall) dressed up as Sully from Monsters Inc.! He was ADORABLE!!!!! I am not into Halloween for religious reasons (Meanings Behind Halloween Traditions)- plus I figure I can dress up and eat candy whenever I want-- adult perk!
*whisper*( I tried one of those snickers peanut butter squares-- SO yummy! About a hundred times better than a reese cup!)
disclaimer: DON'T EAT CANDY!-- IT'S HORRIBLE FOR YOU!
(like any of us never have a piece of candy-- let's be honest here! We all have a favorite. But we SHOULD strive to lead a balanced life and that means not eating all the candy in one sitting. I personally find that if I have one sweet a day or every other day- like a cookie, or a square of dark chocolate, one baby cupcake, or a fun size piece of candy, that I am satisfied. I got my sweet, I'm not denying myself what I crave, and I am maintaining my diet and fitness level by not over indulging.
That said here are a couple shake recipes that can easily translate into ice cream, ice cream cake, or popsicles!
Place ingredients in order first to last and blend until smooth. Serve and enjoy!
Pumpkin Pie Shake
1 banana
1 pear
3/4 C pureed pumkin
4 pkts stevia
2 tsp lucuma powder
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 C almond milk
6-7 ice cubes
Place ingredients in blender in the order listed and blend until smooth. Pour and enjoy!
To make either of these recipes into a pie, first make a crust for the batter. Omit the ice cubes and almond milk except for a dash as needed for blending- switching to a food processor may be easier for this. Pour batter into crust and freeze til firm in the middle or til eat'n time! *Note: the longer it is left in the freezer the longer you'll have to wait until it is cutable/servable. The first piece is always the hardest.
