Pumpkins!

It took me awhile to get into the fall state of mind... but now that the weather is nice and crisp, I have finally arrived! My fall decorations just wouldn't do this year, so I ventured into the pumpkin sewing business. Well, it's not a business, and it's far from taking off, but it's fun and they're cute. And even Lucas likes them! Take a peek:

Sammies!

A few months ago at Schnuck's, Jamie and I found a new product that has become part of our weekly grocery routine, and totally replaced our buying of standard loaf bread. Maybe they're new, or just new to us. Either way, they are great!

We call them Sammies.

They come in white, multi-grain, and whole grain.


Sammies have the following delicious uses:

- Lunch meat sandwiches with spinach

- As a replacement for hamburger buns for burgers
or veggie burgers

- As a vehicle for eggs and cheese

- With hummus

- For mini pizzas!

One of the greatest part of the sammies is that they're only 99 calories each! That's as many as one piece of bread, and you get two sides...perfect!

In conclusion, next time you visit your friendly neighborhood grocery, grab some sammies and put them to good use.
