Pumpkin Oatmeal Latte

Pumpkin Oatmeal Latte: a cozy fall breakfast that combines two of my most favorite things. Coffee & pumpkin spice.

Fall is synonomous with pumpkin, pumpkin spice, pumpkin-spice-everything. At least, for me it is. It may seem as though my love for all things pumpkin has waned in the last few years as I dropped my A Month of Pumpkin posts, but I assure you; I am still eating, dreaming, and loving all the pumpkin.

For a quick and cozy breakfast, make a pumpkin oatmeal latte with pumpkin spice coffee and a sweet topping made with brown sugar and pecans.

If loving all things pumpkin spice is basic, I don’t want to be anything but basic.

Daybreak KATV Morning Show

This is the story of my Daybreak KATV morning show appearance.

When television comes a-calling, one must answer with a yes, amIright? Right! A few weeks ago, I was asked to demonstrate my pumpkin hoop tutorial on Daybreak, KATV’s weekend morning show. Without hesitation and without thinking about it, I said yes. No hemming and hawing about how I look, act, speak. I just said yes.

It’s a running theme with me this year, wouldn’t you say?

In true dramatic television fashion, my segment was a thrill-a-moment, with last minute schedule changes, an early morning call, and the excitement of being in a television studio for the first time.

Vegetarian Sloppy Joe Recipe for Two

I was sitting in the associate lounge at work yesterday, eating my lunch; leftovers from the night before. Thom’s Vegetarian Sloppy Joe recipe is a delicious combination of sweet and spicy and it smells amazing reheated. There were the usual comments as my coworkers filed in for a meeting; rumbles of “that smells so good” and curious glances at my lunch led most of them over to see what I was eating. I laughed as their eyes widened as they observed my loaded bun and the remains in the bowl I had used to reheat.

Vegetarian Sloppy Joe Recipe for two makes weeknight cooking easy for vegetarians so they can enjoy a meatless, protein packed meal.

“Hey, I thought you didn’t eat meat?” The look of confusion on my coworkers’ faces was enough to make me chuckle. I love it when they figure out that just because it’s meatless, doesn’t mean it’s tasteless and boring.
