Canned Pumpkin
My local grocery store has not been carrying canned pumpkin because of the fungus outbreak on some of the crop, so I was beyond thrilled to have pumpkin back in my life.
Last night, I planned ahead and made a hearty breakfast featuring this delicious squash. I first combined half a cup of pumpkin with a quarter cup of cottage cheese and a liberal amount of pumpkin pie spice.

I then microwaved a third of a cup of oatmeal with half a scoop of All the Whey cinnamon bun protein powder and water.
Cinnamon Protein Oats
I combined the two mixtures into one mushy bowl of pumpkin pie oats!

This morning I ate about half of it cold and then microwaved it to eat the other half warm.
Warming up the mixture allowed the cottage cheese to melt into the oats, so if you’re not a fan of the lumps, this might be a better option. I actually preferred it cold.

This was a delicious autumn breakfast. I’m so happy to be able to use pumpkin again!

I am always excited when I see something special in the grocery store – I am sure the other people think I am nuts 🙂
I was at Target last week and there was not 1 can to be found! Hope we have more here soon.
mmm I LOVE pumkin!! I really want to try it in my oats.. Yours looks delish!
Pumpkin obsessed right here. I had pumpkin butter on my oats, have pumpkin spice granola with yogurt for a snack, and have pumpkin gnocchi. I’m gonna be pumpkin-ed out soon!
So funny! The other morning I was @ Walmart and the women in front of me had like 8 cans of Libbys pumpkin and I thought, OMG pumpkins here so I ran to that aisle, and picked up like 4 cans for myself! Are you ever going to try those Pumpkin crunchers? Also, HG sent out a crustless pumpkin pie recipe this morning! YUM!
