Breakfast

All About The Seasons

Good morning!

Again, it looks like it should be cool, crisp weather outside…..but it’s still very humid and hot! Sad, sad, sad….one thing I loved about living in such places as North Carolina and Alabama was that the leaves would change colors when school started. I miss that here!

However, I did prepare another fall-ish breakfast!

I’ve always just put straight pumpkin in my oats, never trying actual pumpkin pie mix before. Wow, this stuff was YUMMY! Yeah, it had a bit of cane sugar in it (as well as lots of spices!), but was totally worth it. A lot of times I find regular pumpkin to have a funny taste when there’s no sweetener involved…..this, on the other hand, tasted like pure pumpkin pie in a can. Perfection! I mixed 1/4 cup of it in with my oat bran and topped it with blueberries and raw almond butter. Delicious!

I have a few freelance deadlines that I have to work on this morning, as well as running a some errands with my mom. We are donating a TON of books to my brother’s high school library so we have to head over there this morning and make a big drop off. I love seeing those kids sweet faces and saying hi to my brother’s teachers—it always puts a smile on my face.

***

So, I’ve had a few emails and comments asking about The Way (my Wednesday night bible study). Here’s the lowdown. We are using a book called “Prayer” by Sarah Arthur. Its totally easy to understand because its written for young adults. šŸ™‚ Basically what we do is one person will volunteer to lead the study for the week and we will go through a chapter in the book. The leader will discuss the key elements of the chapter and we all will discuss points in it and how it is relevant to our own lives. We don’t really use the bible…it’s more of a discussion thing. For the final 30 minutes, we will go around in a circle and each say our “highs and lows” for the past two weeks and then we will close in prayer. Its a little different than past studies I have done because we don’t analyze parts of the bible or even have set questions. We might refer to the bible a couple times, but focus more on deep discussion of prayer in our own lives and how we can take our prayer life to the next level. If you have more questions, please email me and I’ll gladly share more!

    My absolute favorite fall/winter veggie is: PUMPKIN!!! I try to wait until the end of september or the beginning of October because once I start with the pumpkin business.. it DOESN’T stop!!! Pumpkin EVERYTHING- Pumpkin spiced latte’s, pumpkin bread, pumpkin muffins, pumpkin scones, pumpkin pie… ok so I guess I really enjoy it OUT of it’s healthy vegetable form! Girls gotta splurge sometime though, right! Also, I really really like zucchini, not sure if that is categorized as fall/winter though!!

  • Sarah
    September 3, 2009 at 8:30 am

    Hands down, 100% pumpkin and cinnamon. I use cinnamon year-round on EVERYTHING, and pumpkin makes its appearances here and there when I randomly crave my specialty stovetop Pumpkin Latte (yep, even in the middle of summer when it’s over 100 degrees outside…). When September 1st rolls around, though, I go full force into “AUTUMN MODE” and practically eat pumpkin for every meal. Okay, maybe that’s a little exaggerated, but I’m OBSESSED with Fall and Winter (!!!!) and I’m not ashamed šŸ™‚

    Hi, Jenna, thanks for the opportunity to enter the contest!

    I have to say that my new favorite Fall food is a sweet squash I’m trying to grow this year for the first time: delicata. Its like a mix between a sweet potato/acorn squash??? None of mine are actually finished growing yet, but I was able to get one at the Farmer’s Market last year and just knew I wanted to try growing it myself (we’ll see, this was really my first garden growing experiment and the summer squashes were radiant all season, so hopefully my delicata squash, sweet dumpling squashes, and spaghetti squashes will all work out as well).

    Peace

    Thanks Jenna!

    Butternut squash. Apart from raw yellow squash ‘ribbons’ with pesto, it’s the only other squash I’ll eat. Roasted in a pan with some garlic and olive oil or pureed with some stock, herbs, apple, and other veggies for home made soup – yum!

    I’m a new reader and love your blog! So many awesome new food ideas!
    My favorite fall/winter veggies are SWEET POTATOES! They’re amazing all by themselves, with a little butter and brown sugar, or in various other combinations. There is nothing better than pulling a sweet potato out of the oven and seeing the sugary juices oozing onto the pan… mmmmm…

  • Christin

  • Marie

  • Melissa
    September 3, 2009 at 8:49 am

    Hands down sweet potatoes! I love to cut them into strips, sprinkle with sea salt and EVOO and roast for 25 mins at 400. During the last five minutes, I sprinkle them with fresh garlic, parsley and parmigiano reggiano…Oh and I put the broiler on to finish them-gives them the perfect “crispiness”. There you have it-my favorite fall veggie šŸ™‚

    Butternut squash, hands down! Although I wouldn’t throw an acorn squash back if someone gave me one šŸ™‚

    You always have the most delicious-looking and interesting oats combinations. I can’t wait to try some of these out!

    My favorite fall/winter veggie is definitely butternut squash. It can be cooked a thousand different ways and tastes amazing in each variety.

    Nothing says Fall to me more than pumpkin. I must put that on my shopping list. Thanks for the review of the sweetened variety – I might have to pick up a can next time I am at WF.
    I just stumbled across that book and put it on my “to but” list next time I venture to the bookstore. I would love to win it.
    I hope you have a lovely day with your mom.

    Some people said sweet potatoes – are those considered winter vegetables? I adore them! (and eat them year round!)

  • Laura
    September 3, 2009 at 8:53 am

    spaghetti squash + fresh marinara sauce (with canned tomatoes) = YUM!!! I also LOVE butternut squash!

  • Lauren
    September 3, 2009 at 8:53 am

    Pumpkin! And sweet potatoes. They aren’t technically fall vegetables, but I always associate them with the fall.

  • Heather
    September 3, 2009 at 8:53 am

    Any sort of squash makes me think of fall! Acorn, butternut, spaghetti! I also love the Mums of fall, but you don’t really eat those!

  • Courtney
    September 3, 2009 at 8:53 am

    It has to be pumpkin, especially since grocery stores don’t always have pumpkin pie mix out year round to put in my oats. Fall and winter give me time to stock up!

    Jenna-

    The bible study sounds incredible! We are kicking up a new prayer group at the middle of the month called ACTS. I’m looking forward to sitting down with all the women at my church.

    I have to say, I’m loving that you are doing such a big donation to your brother’s school. Not only are you helping so many others, the memory of your brother doesn’t disappear either. Have you contemplated a non-profit in his honor? (Maybe that is one of those q’s I should ask via email!!)

    I hope your foot is healing well. I’m still struggling with a broken toe and have felt so lethargic the last month not being near as active as I normally am. If only I didn’t need my toe for balance, I might be good again.

    Fall is such an amazing time. Wyoming’s fall is so short, but breath-taking. The leaves in the mountains quickly change colors and begin to fall towards the ground, crisp air greets each morning and the sunsets reflect all the amazing colors life has to offer. This season is by far my favorite time.

    We live close to one of the greatest areas for corn fields. The fun with that during fall are all of the corn mazes. We can drive twenty minutes and have our choice of which maze to venture through – and right along side of that, we can pick our holiday pumpkins right off the vine. There’s nothing more fabulous than fresh – and I do mean fresh pumpkin for pie, muffins and cookies too! Pumpkin is my favorite too!

    Lords Blessings!

    My favorite fall veggie is definitely butternut squash. It makes for a delicious soup; it’s so tasty when it’s roasted; and it can even be a sweet treat when you put butter, cinnamon, and sugar on top of it. I can’t wait to eat it this year!

  • Kathryn
    September 3, 2009 at 8:57 am

    Squash of all kinds, especially pumpkin!! I’ve never thought of using pumpkin pie mix in oatmeal – thanks for a GREAT idea!! I love reading about your new bible studies — and there are always such nice people at church too!

  • Madeleine

    My favorite fall vegetable has to be the pumpkin. Although I really like my acorn and butternut squash as well. I guess as long as it’s orange! šŸ™‚

    September 3, 2009 at 9:02 am

    I love any winter squash, pumpkin for it’s ever so perfect chemistry with cinnimon, brussle sprouts for the fact I can’t get enough in my belly, as I hated them a few years back, and my gram’s mashed potatoes. I also have to say I love the fall fruits, like apples, locally grown that is. Have a wonderful day Jenna.

  • Kate
    September 3, 2009 at 9:10 am

    I heart pumpkin! I don’t usually eat it during the rest of the year (I save it for the fall, which is my favorite season) so it’s always a treat! Apparently, my love for it began when I was 1.5 and I ate the raw seeds and pulp from a pumpkin I was carving with my dad and grandpa šŸ™‚

  • Deva (Voracious Vorilee)
    September 3, 2009 at 9:11 am

    I really enjoy butternut squash in the fall, but didn’t realize it until last year! I think most squashes and root veggies are great in autumn, but I keep thinking about butternut squash drizzled with olive oil and roasted in the oven šŸ™‚

    Sweet potatoes! I love this time of year (er, well when it feels more like fall here in Florida) because I like to make this easy dish, which is SO fall, without being heavy:
    – sweet potatoes
    – carrots
    (find your preferred proportions, start with equal parts, maybe more heavy on the sweet potatoes)
    – dash of lemon
    – (experiment with cinnamon or other spices if you like!)

    — boil until skins come off easily, and remove skins from all vegetables (be careful, veggies are HOT!)
    — put all veggies in a big mixing bowl and mash them up together
    — when you have an even consistency and blend, add the lemon to taste, and whatever other flavorings you like (it’s really good with just the lemon though)

    Enjoy! šŸ™‚

    My favorite fall/water veggie is DEFINITELY sweet potato. Not that it’s against the law to eat a sweet potato in the spring or summer, but there’s something about the orange color and the delicious sweet taste that makes me think of cooler temperatures. šŸ™‚

    Butternut squash. Sweet, yet savory squashā€”roasted or blended into a soup is a happy way to greet fall. Paired with spelt flour, applesauce and cinnamon, butternut squash is delicious in muffins and breads for a healthy kick! So, whether it’s a sweet tooth or a savory one, butternut squash can cure them all in so many different ways. Squash alone is divine, but my favorite is a gathering of all the vegetables from the fall farmer’s market: asparagus, squashes of all kinds, sweet potatoes, brussel sprouts, broccoli, onionsā€”sprinkled with olive oil & roasted ’til nice and crispy….aaaahhhhh, healthy goodness!

  • Paige

    Love the pumpkin oats!

    My favorite fall food is definitely apples. Apple everything! If I had to choose one, it’d probably be apple butter, though.

    OH WOW! Lots of responses! I just absolutely adore everything about fall (not winter, fall :)). My favorite probably is butternut squash because it can combined with everything and used as a puree too!
    I absolutely love pumpkin flavored anything too.

    My favorite fall veggie is, of course, pumpkin. I’ve always used pumpkin in my oats and not the pie mix because that’s what I have on hand for bread making, but I suppose the mix makes sense for oatmeal.

  • Heather
    September 3, 2009 at 10:48 am

    Pumpkin. HANDS DOWN. Once this season comes around, I buy tons of fresh pumpkins, as well as stock up on cans of the stuff while it’s cheapest! I make my own vegan Pumpkin Spice Lattes with my blender (YES, I put pumpkin puree in it!), pumpkin pie squares, pumpkin oats, pumpkin smoothies…..lets just say that when this season comes around, I REALLY get my daily dose of Vitamin A.

    Pumpkin oats are actually my favorite fall/winter breakfast. I put straight pumpkin with some nutmeg, cinnamon, and cloves in it and then some maple syrup. It tastes just like pumpkin pie. Just a dash of the syrup does the trick. Such warm comfort food.

    Oh gosh, I can’t just name 1 favourite fall veggie….I would have to say pretty much all root veggies are my favourites, but I guess one of the most interesting one that I love especially would be PARSNIPS! They are ssoo delicious and versatile: mix them w/ butternut squash and sweet potatoes and roast…or you can whip them til they’re fluffy, yet smooth, kind of like mashed potatoes, but soo much more flavourful.

    My favorite fall/winter vegetable…I love them so much, but I am going to have to go with butternut squash. I have a great soup recipe, and I’ve learned to peel and dice it finally (tip: microwave a couple of minutes first to soften the skin).

  • Sabrina

    My favorite fall veggie is squash, any type will do but I am particularly fond of spaghetti squash. I make homemade organic spaghetti sauce and I love eating it over ketti squash because I don’t feel so guilty as when I down a big bowl of pasta. Yum, I want to go home and make some right now!

  • Jenn
    September 3, 2009 at 12:40 pm

    My favorite fall/winter veggie would have to be a mixture of everything going into a yummy vegetable soup! I rarely make vegetable soup unless it’s the winter and cold outside. Something about a mug of hot soup in the fall just warms me from the inside out. But, if I had to pick one fav in the soup, it would be the okra!!

  • Shannon
    September 3, 2009 at 12:40 pm

    Squash of all sorts! My parents grow spaghetti squash just for me in their garden since I love it! It’s just so cool that a squash looks like that! But, have to admit, any other squash with a little butter & brown sugar reminds me of my mom making it for me–so YUMMY!

  • Emily
    September 3, 2009 at 12:47 pm

  • Tay
    September 3, 2009 at 12:49 pm

    I LOVE pumpkin oats, but also have never mixed in the pie mix. Maybe I’ll try that out soon. If it ever makes it from the can in my spoon to the bowl! It might just end up in my mouth first! šŸ˜‰

    My favorite would have to be pumpkin or butternut squash. What else comes out in fall? haha!!

    My fave fall veggie is sweet potatoes. I love them all kinds of ways (roasted, mashed, mixed roasted root vegetable, fries, fried, tempura, you name it and I’ll most likely love it. Here’s a way that you may not have heard of : using sweet potatoes to make a soup sweetened with cane sugar with lots of ginger and tapioca pearls (It’s a Chinese dessert soup). It’s yummy!

    September 3, 2009 at 2:22 pm

    My favorite is butternut squash! I actually used to dislike it so much, but now I love it. Funny how our tastes change!!!! Pumpkin is a VERY close second! I love Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Pumpkin Oats!!!!! I can’t wait to buy some pumpkin butter this weekend and make them!

    Oh, I is kind of sad that the leaves don;t change there, I guess I have always taken that for granted here in Boston!

  • Kim
    September 3, 2009 at 2:43 pm

    I have to go with sweet potatoes as well. I eat these year round, but once fall hits I find myself craving sweet potatoes more than ever! I love to chop them up and bake them alongside chicken and apples or just wrap in foil and make a giant baked potato for dinner. And of course it’s not Thanksgiving without sweet potato casserole and sweet potato pie. Just typing it makes me hungry :).

  • Natalie
    September 3, 2009 at 2:44 pm

    I have to say…BRUSSEL SPROUTS! Although they’re available year round, they peak in the Fall, and there’s something so unique and comforting about a bowl of steamed brussel sprouts, with a little seasoning and a drop of butter, on a cool, Fall day! Nothing says Fall like it!

  • Becky
    September 3, 2009 at 2:44 pm

    Pumpkin for sure! I love in in bread, oatmeal, well anything really!

    Also cool idea about the pumpkin pie with the hot cereal…can’t wait to try it with my morning amaranth porridge or quinoa! I would have never thought of that! Yumo!

    Thanks for sharing about your bible study; I was curious also. My church is starting their women’s bible study on Sept 22nd…one thing that I am looking forward too! It is called “His Bride”..not sure exactly what book we are studying yet. But it should be interesting and enriching!
    I am so jealous you get to see Beth Moore this month. That tour is not coming to the AZ right now…But I am looking forward to the Women of Faith Conference Oct 2/3 in Phx…going to go with my mom and lil’ sis! So fun!
    Good days, good days!

    Jenna –

    I absolutely adore anything pumpkin (original, i know!)! I love everything about a pumpkin down to the delicious seeds that I bake in the oven.

    I would LOVE to receive this book. Ever since you first mentioned it, I’ve had it in my planner to pick up, but haven’t had the extra money šŸ™

    Thanks for all your words of fun and encouragement – I can’t get enough of your blog!

    Oh geez, I have a lot of favorites, including eggplant (that’s winter, right?), butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and -of course- pumpkin! I love pumpkin every which way– pies, lattes, and pancakes. I’m a little concerned I’m going to turn orange one day with my apparent fascination with orangey squash.

  • Melissa
    September 3, 2009 at 5:04 pm

    okay…just to be different:)…I’m going to go with an old faithful and pretty much non-seasonal…I LOVE roasted carrots with a maple syrup/soy/cinnamon/miso marinade. It’s so good that I had it with my lunch and dinner today!

  • Kristin
    September 3, 2009 at 5:06 pm

    I should give pumpkin pie filling a try. I can’t stand the plain stuff in anything. It kinda makes me gag! But I love pumpkin pie/anything pumpkin spiced.

Everything delicious about squash, it is more that.

    My favorite fall/winter veggie is spaghetti squash because of how versatile it is. I’ve thrown it in soups, used it to replace pasta, and made patties out of it. It’s the winner, hands down šŸ™‚

  • Erika
    September 3, 2009 at 5:28 pm

    I definitely would say pumpkin, but that is clearly not going to be original here with all of us healthy eaters! So instead, I’m going with asparagus, and YES I know that is sooo not a fall/winter veggie, but with flash freezing and everything now, you can get good frozen asparagus year round. I LOVE it! I don’t love the.. um, after effects.. (haha!) but asparagus is so gooood it’s worth overlooking! šŸ˜‰

  • Sarah
    September 3, 2009 at 5:35 pm

    I love leeks! You can do so much with them – make a creamy potato leek soup with grated cheese and chives on top; saute and add them to pasta (really good with pesto sauce); throw them in a stir-fry. You can even chop them up and eat them raw on top of a salad. They add so much flavor and are low in calories, relatively cheap, and easy to work with. Plus, something about using them makes me feel like I’m a gourmet chef!

  • Patty
    September 3, 2009 at 5:38 pm

    What don’t I like about fall? Nothing! My favs are all root veggies, pomegranates(not a veggie) and I got to find me one of those squashes(chinese) that I’ve heard so much about.

    My favorite fall/winter veggie is spicy v-8 juice. I know that isn’t a normal one but canned veggies were plunked in front of me as a kid (always french cut string beans!) and I just never warmed up to making better ones when I grew up. My idea of cooking involves something from the frozen food aisle and a microwave.

    I’m thinking I’d like to try one of those spaggetti squash things but I honestly don’t know where to start. As a kid I liked pumpkins but really for the carving. I really got to make a couple of veggie friends.

    I honestly get near 100 percent of my veggie intake off v-8 (and veggie burgers if you count them)

    so I’m glad to bump into your site. Maybe I can ease myself into more dynamic food choices that are healthy as I try to become more fit… 20 pounds gone so far!

    I think I’ll have to go with the others and say sweet potatoes. We have a great sweet potato soup recipe we do and black bean and sweet potato cakes. YUM! And super healthy. And if I say it’s yum, it’s yum! Thanks! I really enjoy your blog! Your prayer study sounds great!

    I love the fall, something about the crisp air and changing leaves. Butternut squash somehow makes its way into every meal during the fall. Another favorite is pumpkin but not the meat the seed! I love roasting them and sprinkling them with a little cinnamon or old bay!!!

  • Megan
    September 3, 2009 at 7:40 pm

    Do I have to pick just one? There is simply no way. I eat them all year. There is nothing better than the combo of sweet potatoes and veggie burgers. I could eat that meal every single day. Pumpkin oatmeal is simply divine too. So tasty, so yummy, so satisfying.
    I also checked the cookbook and I think it would be a book I would love to have in my pantry. I am gluten/dairy free and from the looks of it most of her recipes are. I am always on the hunt for a good gf/df cookbook.

  • Kerry

    I love sweet potatoes! I look forward to Thanksgiving just so I can enjoy a whopping piece of sweet potato casserole. I’ll even skip dessert so I can have an extra helping. I need easy recipes since I’m not cooking inclined. I’d love a chance to check out Clean Food!

  • Shannon

    Butternut squash DEFINITELY! You can bake it, or boil it and smash it up with some molasses, brown sugar and pecans. My favorite recipe however is for a delicious soup, with a base of onions, cream and ginger. SO yum!!!

  • Heather

    (Yeah put this in the wrong post first- 1st time commenter) I was super excited to see that you have ā€œFallā€ posts. I recently moved from WI to Tampa and my body is sensing/craving the fall season but itā€™s crazy that its 90 outside! My absolute favorite fall veggie is pumpkin, I actually get bummed out when they are not in season and Iā€™m forced to use canned. However, I do have my go to recipe that I wanted to share because it brings me back to the change of seasons and itā€™s a mix of gingerbread and pumpkin- what else is better?
    Pumpkin Pecan Chocolate Chip Gingerbread (Inspired by Post Punk Kitchen)
    Ingredients
    1 cup chopped pecans
    3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
    2 cups packed dark brown sugar
    2/3 cup white sugar
    2 teaspoons baking soda
    1 teaspoon salt
    1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
    2 teaspoons ground ginger
    2 cups pumpkin puree
    1 cup vegetable oil
    2/3 cup coconut milk
    2/3 cup flaked coconut
    1 cup miniature chocolate chips
    Directions
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8? x 4? loaf pans.
    2. Spread pecans in a single layer on an ungreased baking sheet. Toast in the preheated oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly browned. Set aside to cool.
    3. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, brown sugar, white sugar, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and ginger. Add the pumpkin puree, oil, and coconut milk, and mix until all of the flour is absorbed. Fold in the flaked coconut, chocolate chips, and toasted pecans. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans.
    4. Bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes in the preheated oven or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

    I love love love acorn squash. I could actually eat it anytime of year, but it is definitely missed if not at the Thanksgiving dinner. Plus my mom makes it the best as all moms do. 20 minutes in the microwave in 1 inch of water in a dish and then baked 20 minutes in the oven. Yum!

  • Brandi
    September 3, 2009 at 9:08 pm

    Butternut squash…or maybe sweet potatoes….both are interchangeable for me! I like them mashed, roasted, baked, and sometimes just plain raw! Yum! I can’t wait until Thanksgiving!

  • Lindsay
    September 3, 2009 at 9:10 pm

    Like everyone else, I’m going to have to say pumpkin… but not from a can! When I was living in New Zealand, I used to buy a lot of pumpkin… sliced straight from the gourd… and roast or steam it. So delicious!

I think am so connected to your blog because of what happened to your brother….how strong you are and how you continue to be strong.

    Hi Jenna ~
    The Way sounds pretty interesting! I love the idea of an open and honest space where you can talk about both the highs and the lows and for it to be okay.
    & yummy sounding oats too! You also have me craving a pumpkin spice latte, but am unsure I can get one here. We usually get the cinnamon dolce latte’s at this time of year (which are also v. good!).
