I bought this jar of Cinnamon Raisin Swirl peanut butter at Whole Foods last night.  It took all of my restraint to wait until this morning to open it.

I spread the Cinnamon Raisin Swirl PB on 2 pieces of whole wheat toast and then added a little bit of pumpkin on the top.

Pumpkins everywhere!  Not just the real versions that never got carved before Halloween, but lots of different forms of the stuff in my cabinets and fridge (butter, yogurt, canned, etc).  Melissa, Heather, and I chit chatted about how we’re getting a little tired of it.  But with Thanksgiving recipes starting to be published everywhere, there’s no way to avoid it.  I’m just going to have to think a bit harder to find new ways to eat pumpkin.

In the spirit of Halloween, I made my first batch of pumpkin oatmeal.

I mixed 1/2 cup of oatmeal with cinnamon, brown sugar, and a heaping tablespoon of pumpkin.  I topped it with a dollop of cream cheese that tasted amazing when blended into the bowl.  So yummy!

Beautiful autumn day in Boston!!!  It’s typically COLD and miserable weather on Halloween so this was a nice treat.

I got free tickets to the BC football game.  We ate lunch on campus at Hillside.  I ordered the “Turkey with Brie” sandwich.

Turkey, brie, lettuce, and honey mustard on cranberry bread.  Served with homemade chips and a pickle.  The cranberry bread is the star of this sandwich.  I love it!

We met Molly and a few of her friends for some pregame partying.  I had to keep the pumpkin theme going with some Dogfish Punkin Ale.  Mmm!

BC vs. Central Michigan

My parents enjoyed the game too!   Jared and I left a few minutes into the 3rd quarter, but kept checking the score to make sure that the Eagles got the victory.

Halloween time:  Jared dressed as an 80s rocker.

I was a 50′s Diva.

Jared just yelled that the dog is staring longingly at my Haunted Gingerbread House and whining.  So I’d better end this post now and tend to the crazy dog!
