This Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin candle from Bath & Body works made my whole house smelly uber-yummy today. It has a sweet, spicy scent that makes me think of fall.

After this morning’s yummy breakfast cups, I continued cooking with lunch. I even busted out my Nasoya tofu press.

I had 2 experiments:

  • sweet/smokey/spicy sweet potatoes
  • dried herb roast tofu

The sweet potatoes were a major win. (will be sharing the recipe soon)

As for the tofu…

…that was more of a fail. I usually make a soy marinade for tofu, which I always love. Today, I didn’t think soy sauce would go with the sweet potatoes, so I tried using EVOO and dried herbs. It totally didn’t work. You live, you learn, right?

I had a spinach salad later with what looks to be some of the last of the cherry tomatoes from my garden.

And for a pre-workout snack, I made banana oatmeal with vanilla hemp milk. Yummers!

Bailey and I matched outfits today – both black and white. :lol: This is actually my zumba outfit, which I wore to teach class tonight. People in the zumba world are calling these “cow pants.” I don’t care what they’re called, I think they’re cute!

Fave songs from tonight’s playlist:

  • I’m a Slave 4 U (yes, Britney)
  • Shawty’s Got Moves (the new tune I was talking about earlier)
  • Krazy
  • Desi Girls

Class was super fun and someone even requested a song I choreographed as their birthday song when I offered to do a song of their choice for their b-day. I was so honored they picked my song (Desi Girls). :)

Hubby was in charge of dinner and made hot dogs, corn, steamed broccoli, and baked beans.

And he even got me a chocolate hazelnut cupcake.

Nom nom nom!

Totally got to enjoy the cupcake whilst catching the latest, fist-pumping Jersey Shore. Oh yes…t-shirt tiiiiiiiiimmmmmmeeeee! lol

Do you have any funny nicknames for your clothes?

lol – I have never actually thought of naming my clothes! lol Cute idea, though =)

Ok, I must ask your thoughts on hemp milk. How does it taste? I have yet to try it.

To me it’s not much different from other non-dairy milks out there. If you like rice/almond/soy milk, you’ll probably like hemp. The taste is slightly different, but I like it. :)

My boyfriend calls his flannel PJ pants “Fat pants” but I call my velour bottoms “comfy pants”. AKA my uniform when I get home from work in the fall and winter.
