Pumpkin pie in a jar makes me happy 🙂 This was a yummy breakfast for my 5th day of quitting cereal. Still feeling good…yesterday’s breakfast was filling enough to get me through until a late lunch at the Miami Boat Show. Now if only I could afford one of those boats…I wouldn’t need to stand around telling rich people to register their EPIRBs to make my job easier lol.
It might be a little late in the year (or early?) for pumpkin, but luckily it’s still canned pumpkin season. Crisis averted. Just make sure you get the stuff that is pure pumpkin, not the pumpkin pie filling. I think we all know pumpkin is good for us, but in case you forgot, here’s a little review – pumpkin is packed with vitamin A and fiber, plus some potassium and vitamin C. So dig in!
