I have been baking with pumpkin all through October…well, ok, saying “all through” makes it sound like I was baking everyday when really it was once a week but whatever. lol. So, I have some left over and was saying at work I might turn it in to scones, cause yum to pumpkin scones! Well, AB at work suggested I turn it in to soup and she told me how…
I put the pureed pumpkin in a pot (the pureed pumpkin came from a can – I didn’t puree it myself), I add milk until it is at the consistency I like my soup, I heat it, depending on my preference I add suger or salt to taste, and voila, pumpkin soup.
Well, I did that – did exactly what she said…and when I went to taste it I gagged – it tasted like warmed thick milk, ugh. Note to self: don’t attempt to make pumpkin soup like that again.
Experiences like this are why I stick to baking, lol. 😛
Today I ate:
29 grams Special K Vanilla Almond = 2 points
1/2 cup 1% milk = 1 point
1 small banana = 1 point
1 cup mixed fresh fruit = 1 point
1/2 cup cottage cheese = 2 points
1/2 cup Heinz Original Baked Beans = 2 points
1 Body Wise bagel = 2 points
2 triangles light laughing cow cheese = 1 point
1 Ricotta and Spinach Chicken Breast = 3 points
85 grams Alexia Sweet Potatoe fries = 3 points
mixed veggies = 0 points
1 Activia = 2 points
I have eaten 20 points so far and am looking forward to enjoying 2 shortbread cookies, Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!
Actually, I am still feeling fairly hungry…not sure why, I have eaten a normal amount of food by this point in the day. shrug. I will probably eat the cookies and see if after those I still need something, sigh, I may be dipping in to some flex points! Isn’t it weird how some days you are just more hungry? I was alright during the day but, shrug, towards the evening my tummy apparently decided it was empty and being mistreated. lol. 😛 silly tummy!
