No Plans

After getting home late last night, I was glad to wake up this morning with no real plans.  I knew I wanted to go pick up a bit of fresh produce, try out a new stew recipe and attempt to make pumpkin spice scones.  No time frames though.

I was excited to see a new type of Kashi cereal at the grocery store.  They are slowly bringing new Kashi products to Canada, yah!  We just need to get those delish cookies.

Kashi Honey Sunshine – Decent nutrition info, although I wish there was a bit more protein per serving.

This was 2 servings with 1/2 cup UVAB & fresh blueberries.

Was really good, reminiscent of Captain Crunch. 😉  The box isn’t going to last long around here.

Got the house tidied, harvested a bunch of veggies from the garden and tried to straighten out the mess Hurricane Earl made. 

I did make the pumpkin scones.  Still perfecting the recipe but overall I was pretty pleased with my first attempt! Will post the recipe later this week.

Later on in the afternoon Holly & Dean came over and we took a drive.  First stop, Starbucks. Iced Pumpkin Spice Latte!  I forgot to ask for non-fat, no whip.  Opps. 😉

Headed downtown where I made sure to stop and take some pics of the huge Big Day Downtown posters on Barrington.  My ad is the person walking. Pretty cool eh?

I picked up a lovely bottle of Nova Scotia white.  Saving it for a later time though.

Not bad for a day with no plans, eh?  🙂 We’re about to have some dessert and play Monopoly. Later gators!!
