fall break adventures: day 4 & a recipe

today i only left the house to make a grocery store run and it was great. it was nice to just stay at home today after going to nashville and franklin the past two days!

saturday started with pumpkin spice crepes, slighty adapted from SkinnyTaste. phillip and dad drove up to knoxville for the day for the game so i decided to make mom and i a fall breakfast! they were light and filling and we had some bananas and raspberries on the side!

pumpkin spiced crepes

1.5 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 egg whites
1 egg
1 tsp oil 
1 tsp vanilla
1 c whole wheat pastry flour
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
non-stick cooking spray

greek yogurt cream cheese, pumpkin butter, etc., for filling
  1. blend all ingredients except filling in blender. 
  2. heat a non-stick pan and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  3. pour 1/4 cup crepe batter into pan, swirling pan to make crepe thin and smooth. cook until bottom is golden brown. flip and cook until golden brown. repeat with remaining crepe mixture.
  4. to serve, spoon filling of choice into center of crepe. fold each edge of crepe over filling and roll. serve seam side down and warm! 
i could have gone to the UT game today but decided to watch it from the comfort of my couch at home instead with our gas logs on! mawsie came over to watch the game and we had our own at-home tailgate while we watched the game. megan also stopped by to visit which was perfect! i loved the orange on orange uniforms that UT wore today! AND WE WON. words cannot explain my excitement!

after the game i ran to publix (since they don't have stores in knoxville). mom and i then tag-teamed supper and it was beyond delish. we made creamy mashed cauliflowerroasted acorn squash with shallots and rosemary and roasted pork tenderloin with apples! it was the perfect fall meal.

it was nice today just staying at home and relaxing. unfortunately, tomorrow it is back to reality and back to knoxville. i guess fall break did have to come to an end but it went by far too fast. i have had so much fun spending time with my parents and brother. i am so thankful that i am so close with them. hope everyone has had a lovely weekend so far and that you enjoy your sunday! go vols!

xoxo,
