Early Morning Baking

I woke up with the itch to bake this morning. (I know, I’m weird! ) I had a huge can of leftover pumpkin sitting in the fridge, which is always such a delicious and nutritious baking addition, so I made a batch of Pumpkin Oatmeal Raisin Bars. 

I mostly followed my original recipe, but made the following changes:

• Instead of 1/2 cup, I used 1/4 cup of canola oil
• I used 1 egg, instead of 2
• I added 1/2 cup of canned pumpkin
• I used 1 tsp of cinnamon
• I added a shake of nutmeg and pumpkin seeds to the top of the bars

The Pumpkin Oatmeal Raisin Bars turned out wonderful, but I prefer the original recipe– I think the extra canola oil adds to their yumminess. 

In addition to my Pumpkin Oatmeal Bar for breakfast, I also had some Stonyfield plain yogurt with Peanut Butter Puffins.

And hot coffee with agave nectar and chocolate soy milk…

All together…

Friday Night

I was a lazy blogger last night. I barely took any photos, but here’s a quick recap of the evening:

• After work, I went to Happy Hour with my coworkers. I drank two beers and munched on a few French fries.
• Next, I headed downtown for a friend’s 30th birthday. At the bar, I drank another beer, but I wasn’t feeling the bar scene. At 9:30, I headed home (like the old lady that I am) and went straight to bed. 

The birthday girl and me: 

I’m off! Enjoy the day, bloggies!
