WIAW – Pasta and Pumpkin

09/18 by Leigha 15 Comments

Fashion Friday {9/16 - 9/20}
Century Ride

It’s the best day of the week already – where I get to creep on everyone’s eats! Here are mine from yesterday!

Breakfast

Empty peanut butter jar = the best overnight oats! 1/2 cup oats, some Greek yogurt, almond milk, chia seeds, sliced banana, and refrigerate. Topped with blueberries in the morning, there’s not many better breakfasts! 

Lunch

 lunch2

I’ve had the same lunch everyday since school started.. Sandwich with turkey, mayo, pesto, lettuce, tomato, sometimes avocado. An apple, almonds, and tomatoes. Haven’t gotten sick of it yet!

Dinner

skinnymac&cheese

Mom made this recipe and it was ah-maz-ing! Like third helping amazing πŸ˜‰ 

Dessert

Have you seen those “2 ingredient muffins” on Pinterest? You know, 1 jar pumpkin, 1 box cake mix? Mom made those too!

For not taking any effort whatsoever, they were pretty dang good!

Then we went on a walk in the crisp fall air. I love fall so much!

And I saw my friend Patrick πŸ˜€

I have a looong day ahead. Leaving the house at 5, not getting home until 5. Let’s hope I make it! Happy WIAW, everyone!
