Good morning!
I always tell myself that working on a weekend is something I am trying to get away from, but sometimes there is no better feeling than getting up on a Monday morning and seeing 8 parcels ready to be shipped out. And a clean house. And clean clothes hanging in the closet. And leftover enchiladas in the fridge that I’m hoping Eric doesn’t take to work.
You know what is also great?
This.

I think I’m going to be going through a lot of pumpkin this fall!
I forgot to mention, when you make the pumpkin pie vegan overnight oats, it is ready to eat very quickly. I think it is the pumpkin that makes it really soft and it also absorbs tons of the milk. It is honestly ready to eat in less than 1/2 hour- and if you really wanted you could eat it almost instantly. I should know because I was picking at this last night when I whipped it up! ;)

Here is a cute read that I came across this morning that I thought you might enjoy…
Have a great start to your week!
Wow that looks and sounds delish! I am going to have to try that one.
Crikey, you work soooo hard!! Where do you find the time to make all of your delicious meals?!
I opened up a can of pumpkin today to use in a snack. :D Now that it’s open, I have no excuse not to make this for breakfast soon!
WOW – congrats on all your hard work! And I LOVE that glass you served breakfast in! I miss all my nice glasses / plates / bowls – they are all still packed away :( Only 3 more months til we get to move in to our new house!
pumpkin overnight oats will definitely make a repeat appearance for my breakfast tomorrow, WITH the BSS! I didn’t want them to end this morning… this one looks amazing as usual :)
of course, I had the can of pumpkin open, I had to make the oatmeal cookies as well. I cannot believe how soft they are! the hubs and I LOVE them!
Mmmm that looks soo good! It reminds me of the Frozen Hot Chocolate at Serendipity!
Lovely post! The kids article was adorable. Loved it! Hope you’ve had a pleasant Monday. : )
Who knew overnight oats (and delicious banana soft serve!) could be so beautiful photographed. You are talented! :) And not just for the pictures. Love what you are all about. Truly inspirational.
Love that little cup/bowl, it’s so cute.
Yum! I couldn’t find pumpkin the other day at the store, so I bought pureed butternut squash instead… Worked like a charm, and almost had a sweeter, more delicate texture?! Either way, I’m already heralding the return of the winter squash!
Your pumpkin oats look amazing!! I am looking forward to fall because I love fall squashes!!
The pumpkin oats look like they also might be good with some crushed graham cracker topping… for the upside-down, inside-out, oat-filled pumpkin pie effect :)
After reading your mouth watering post about your banana soft serve/pumpkin overnight oats combo I had no choice but to race to the store, grab some punmpkin and demolish my own bowl this morning! I have been so inspired by your pumpkin talks that I may also use up the leftovers to make those fabulous looking banana/pumpkin cookies!
I am new to your blog and think it is awesome and I also love that you have an offical GM website! You’ve got me hooked, and as I will be living in St Catharines shortly, I think I may have to order some Glo bars! :)
I don’t know what excites me more – seeing those boxes or a new Green Monster mix! As much as I love summer, I have to admit I love autumn more…bring on the pumpkin spice-y-ness.
Beautiful pumpkin pie parfait!!!
