Mmmm! I'm eating banana with peanut butter, and it's amazing! It's like I've never had a banana before! Nom nom nom!

Solid food. That banana & peanut butter has me salivating worse than Pavlov's dogs!

SN: My Psych 101 prof did an "experiment" on us in college. We would salivate whenever hearing the word "Pavlov" and I'm so very glad the behavior extinguished years before I read this post.

I was craving a real Frappacino (as opposed to the bottled kind) but the nearest Starbucks is 5 miles and several highway exits away. Eff that.

Damn it I'm seriously craving a Cubano now. Wonder if there are any Cuban restaurants around.

^^Sooooorry.

I really want Stouffer's veggie lasagna but the store didn't have it in anything smaller that the super family size.

I want Spanish rice!

I was craving pumpkin pie all weekend so I made one yesterday. I had pumpkin pie for dinner tonight. I figure it's ok.. cuz it has veggies (pumpkin), protein (eggs), dairy (evaporated milk) and grains (pie crust). Oh yes, and dessert.. whipped cream

Pumpkin is a fruit, but it is full of beta carotene (why it is orange), vitamin A, and is low in carbs. I feed it to my cats because it helps them stay hydrated and have happy tummies and healthy coats.

Now I want pumpkin flavored egg nog, sigh.

I'm craving a vacation to the mountains.

Sunshine.
It has been raining for a week.

/cue rant
My coat is soaked, my shoes are soaked and stepping outside my door is like walking into a carwash. It's also stormy so umbrellas are not helping.

My dog gets pumpkin pie mix when he can't use the little dog's room properly. He LOVES it!!*

It's sounding good to me right now, too!


*It works, too!

I don't give the pie mix because of the spices and sugar in it, I just go with the regular plain canned pumpkin. My cats gobble it down, and since I've cut back on their wet food for financial reasons it helps add moisture to their bodies. They eat grain free and the cans run about a dollar each, but I got a great deal on the grain free kibble so we're trying to work on that right now.

I'm still craving pumpkin egg nog, but that requires me to either take the bus, drive my car, or walk in the dark after work and it just isn't worth it time or money wise. I am having some pumpkin ginger tea with fat free half and half, and it is pretty good.

prosciutto and melon
olive oil and a freshly baked loaf of bread
butternut squash soup
*seared yellow fin tuna w/ mango salsa


*sidenote: searing with canola oil, instead of olive oil, will give you a darker crust on meats because it has a higher smoke point.

Something so high in calories and fat. Anything besides luna bars, muscle milk shakes, and healthy food. Training for a marathon needs to include pizza and beer.
