Welcome to another What I Ate Wednesday blog-hop party, courtesy of Peas & Crayons!
Before getting into the eats, can any of you who were kind enough to throw me on your blog roll update to the new page? Thank you thank you thank you!
Moving onto the yum stuff…
I have had a rice cake with or without peeb (peanut butter) before my daily workout. Then, at the office, I’ve had 1/3 cup of oats with 1/8 cup walnuts, and 1/5 cup of pumpkin. I may add a few more oats later in the week.
I was supposed to eat salad all week, but carbs were calling to me on Monday. Soooo I had a bread bowl of veggie soup from Panera. Later I learned that the bowl alone has 590 calories. Yipes! Oh well – it’ll be an Asian themed salad with edamame and snow peas for the rest of the week.
This tea picture came out funny-looking due to the florescent lights in the office. I think it’s symbolism for my soul drowning in this cubicle.
Snack has been exactly the same as last week: apple + peeb. I’m so happy for farmer’s market apples!
Last night, Kev and I split a big butternut squash. I couldn’t eat all of my half, probably because I munched on TJ’s Bistro Biscuits, a spoon of peen, and some apple juice before dinner. Leia would have gladly gone for my extra portion if I let her!
Squash just never gets old…
Have you purchased pumpkins and squash yet this season?
What’s your favorite gourd/squash/thing?

I love rice cakes with peanut butter!!!! Well, any nut butter:)
Oh, I love eating my pumpkin mashed!
Man, I wish I was in the other half of the world! While everyone’s enjoying lovely pumpkins and squash of the season, I’m stuck drooling at pictures
October 12, 2011 at 5:35 am
Bread bowls are great!
October 12, 2011 at 8:16 am
I know, right!?! It had been waaaay too long since I’d had one.
October 12, 2011 at 6:42 am
Yummy eats, like always!
I love ricecakes with PB..so good! 
October 12, 2011 at 8:15 am
Agreed, rice cakes are so underrated!
October 12, 2011 at 6:45 am
I’ve bought one or two squash and a buttload of Libbys canned pumpkin, but I haven’t found my perfect carving pumpkin yet heehee Love your eats! Happy WIAW!
October 12, 2011 at 8:17 am
Updated my blog roll!!!
October 12, 2011 at 8:55 am
Thanks so much! You rock.
October 12, 2011 at 8:38 am
I’ve purchased approximately 8 cans of pumpkin this season and 5 squashes…and I’m just gettng started. Faves are canned pumpkin, and butternut & acorn!
October 12, 2011 at 8:58 am
I don’t care how many calories they have – they are worth every last bite! YUM!

Haha, you better believe I inhaled every last bite of it too!
October 12, 2011 at 9:32 am
I love roasting squash and making soups out of them. So filling and lots of flavor and super healthy!
October 12, 2011 at 9:45 am
Oof, bread bowls used to get me every time, until I found out about my wheat allergy
I know, what a sad, sad day.
October 12, 2011 at 10:14 am
I need to go to Panera for that bread bowl. I think you could put anything inside a bread bowl and it will be that much better.
October 12, 2011 at 10:15 am
Agreed – I like the way you think! Actually, if you have an Atlanta Bread Co near you, their bread bowls are even better (if you can imagine)
October 12, 2011 at 10:39 am
I’m way behind on my favorite seasonal activities- like pumpkin purchasing, carving, seed eating, etc. I need to get on the ball!
October 12, 2011 at 10:48 am
I’ve always wanted a Panera bread bowl but have never gotten one! They just look so delicious
Bring on fall!
I’ve probably already baked/cooked with pumpkin about 10 times and am about to roast up a spaghetti squash for dinner tonight
October 12, 2011 at 10:56 am
Mmmm – spaghetti squash is another good one. I really can’t pick a favorite.
October 12, 2011 at 11:38 am
I can’t wait to have my first squash of the season. Yours looks amazing!
I bought a spaghetti squash that I’m masking this week.
October 12, 2011 at 12:03 pm
I am planning to make a pumpkin-y chili and serve it inside of mini pumpkins soon! AH I am so excited!!!
Also I love spaghetti squash, it rules my life.
My mother in law makes a meaaaan butternut squash soup for thanksgiving every year
Oh I love this time of year!
October 12, 2011 at 12:12 pm
Cool! Post Pictures!!! Is the pumpkin chili it for a party?
October 12, 2011 at 12:35 pm
Ooh that bread bowl looks like THE ONE!! I haven’t had one of those in aaaages! :/ Also Leia’s little head in that last pic has me cracking up! haha! She is staring that squash DOWN! lol! So cute!
October 12, 2011 at 12:57 pm
I was lucky to have a friend give me several butternut squash. I’m out though and need to buy some soon – and kabocha as well. Prob my fave squash actually.
October 12, 2011 at 1:29 pm
Those Panera bread bowls are a weakness of mine… I think one week in college I had them every day. Oops…
October 12, 2011 at 2:18 pm
I love butternut squash, yours looks so good!
October 12, 2011 at 2:18 pm
We just had an acorn squash for dinner last night…made me feel like fall! I’ve been loving mixing pumpkin in my oatmeal lately too…fall again
October 12, 2011 at 2:20 pm
I think I like butternut more for cooking in things, but for eating plain, I really like acorn. Not that either is ever a bad choice…
October 12, 2011 at 2:31 pm
I’ve never had the bread bowl but I looove panera! Pumpkin = love too
I can’t wait for the farmer’s market to start here! This weekend 
October 12, 2011 at 3:24 pm
Your oatmeal is so orange! i put so many spices in my pumpkin oatmeal is always looks brown. I’ve never roasted a whole squash before. It’s pathetic. My excuse has always been that I’ve never lived anywhere with a proper oven but that’s about to change. I think butternut will probably be first on my list.
October 12, 2011 at 4:10 pm
My oats need a little something. They’re good, but they could be better. Hmm… I think the answer might be more oats!
October 12, 2011 at 4:12 pm
oh yes, thanks for the reminder. I need to update my you on my blog roll!
nice squash, it looks so perfect.
October 12, 2011 at 4:28 pm
I love winter squash. I was eating on a huge butternut one last week and have an acorn squash I need to roast this week. Orange veggies are my favorite! Love the comment about the flourescent lighting. So true, I seriously think people would like work better if there was better lighting
October 12, 2011 at 4:52 pm
That bread bowl veggie soup looks oh so good, too bad it had all those calories! Why must everything so good have so many calories?
I’ve purchased two small pumpkins today, but for decorations and not to eat! I’ve never used actual pumpkin from a pumpkin before in my cooking, just the canned pumpkin!
October 12, 2011 at 5:04 pm
Same here – I’m all about the cans!
October 12, 2011 at 4:58 pm
Pumpkin has been a daily addition to my diet as of a couple of weeks ago! I have a acorn squash sitting on my counter that is just waiting to be inhaled. I want to roast it and have it for breakfast one of these mornings. I need a good recipe…Do you have one? Um that bread bowl looks awesome. Perfect for a rainy fall day!
October 12, 2011 at 5:03 pm
I had one for a turkey stuffed acorn squash that was fabulous, but I lost it. I usually just cut in half, roast plain, and eat.
October 12, 2011 at 5:54 pm
That bread bowl! I haven’t had one in years. Gosh, they are amazing. I made a spaghetti squash last week, but that’s it for squash so far this season. I need to get a butternut and roast it, though cause they are my favorite.
October 12, 2011 at 8:41 pm
ohh I have missed so much.. happy belated anniversary.. you looked BEAUTIFUL, I love your dress. I also love the new look of your page
and now i’m done procrastinating. Missing bloggy world and reading your blog everyday!
October 13, 2011 at 2:53 pm
Just came across your blog. I LOVE your blog name and I also LOVE Stash Chai Spice tea — my favorite!
October 13, 2011 at 2:55 pm
Thanks for dropping by! Stash is awesome, right? I’m not sure what I like better, the smell or the taste!
