Pumpkin Shortage Victim.
I spent last night and the majority of the morning making some goodies for today and the holiday weekend.
I made vanilla bean cupcakes:
Chocolate fudge cupcakes with bailey’s frosting (got this idea from Gina):
Pumpkin chocolate chip cookies with marshmallows:
And pumpkin spice balls, covered in milk chocolate instead of white.
I am now off to make Maria’s apple galette.
Oh, and on a serious note, do you think I have enough powdered sugar?
I waited until the last minute to begin baking last night. I was sure I had canned pumpkin in my pantry. Wouldn’t you think it was somewhere in there?
Luckily my mom came through and had 3 cans. Good thing she taught me how to hoard items.
One good thing came out of the no-pumpkin-left-grocery-trip last night. I bought this cheesy bread, because I just didn’t think I’d get enough cheese, bread and carbs this weekend.
It is incredible, and even better with butter and eggs.
I made sure to get a workout in this morning, so I can eat 6 bowls of mashed potatoes instead of 5 and not gain an ounce.
20 minutes on the arc trainer
20 minutes of treadmill intervals
- 60 seconds at 8.5mph
- 75 seconds at 4.5 mph
full-body workout
walking lunges: 4 sets of 20 with 30lb dumbbells super-setted w/ pushups: 4 sets of 25
barbell squat: 4 sets of 10 with 140lbs super-setted w/ dumbbell incline rows: 4 sets of 12 with 40lb dumbbells
side lunges: 3 sets of 20 with 20lb dumbbells super-setted w/ overhead dumbbell presses: 35lb dumbbells
20 burpees + 30 squat jumps + 30 lunge split jumps + 20 triceps dips + 8 pull-ups
Did you get a great workout in this morning?
I have 2 turkey dinners to eat today, so I’m going to paint on my elastic-waistband pants and strap on the feed bag.
Thank you so much for stoppin’ by on this holiday, and enjoy your Turkey Day. :)

I didn’t workout this morning, oh well! Good for you for getting one in. Happy Thanksgiving!
I got a great work out in – a 10k turkey trot :-D
I stock up on pumpkin too – I’ve used 3 cans in the past week and still have 3 left… definitely a hoarder here!
ok, We ate your entire plate of treats. I have 2 chocolate balls left. I woke up this morning and the big cupcake was gone. I think Nick was sleep walking.. haha
