roses

That used to be an ice cream “creation” at Coldstone when I worked there. Who knows if they still have this flavor, considering I worked there a long time ago when I was a college Freshman. And yes, I had to sing when people gave tips – it was lame, and often times I would pretend I didn’t see them put the money in the jar so I didn’t have to sing. I was so great at beating the system, until some customers called me out on it, mainly ones with kids did this, and we were like, “ohhhh.. you did give a tip! Sorry, we didn’t even see that,” then burst into song. I still remember some of the tunes.

So anyways, back to the point, I am getting quite experimental with my oats lately and trying different variations I have seen on other blogs. This morning I used pumpkin pie filling in my oats, I realize that pumpkin pie filling has more sugar than regular pumpkin puree would have, but it was all the lady I was house sitting had, and it sweet and delicious. It seemed like I was eating pumpkin pie for breakfast, which made my day! Next time I will probably just buy plain old pumpkin puree and add my own sweetness, and I do want to add some sort of “crust”, maybe some graham crackers. Here’s my bowl of pumpkin pie oats with walnuts on top.

Last night for dinner I made 2 pita pizzas by splitting on pita in half, spooning on some tomato sauce, and adding some fresh veggies and mozzarella cheese. I popped them into the oven on 425 for about 5-7 minutes and dinner was served. They turned out to be pretty spectacular.

And, a close up:

In other news: Isaac, my love, is finally done with his training and he will be home during the weekdays from now on… I’m pretty excited about this because I was getting quite lonely.. minus blog world! Last weekend when he was home he surprised me with roses and they are still looking beautiful a week later. I love love love fresh flowers. I think they really brighten a room and they make me happy.
