Our weather has dropped about 10 degrees and suddenly, I'm ravenous.

Anyone
else have this happen when the weather got colder where you live?

Yep, I've been very hungry lately and it's definitely fall here!

When the temp drops I'm tempted to start baking something to "warm up
the house" heh heh. I start mixing up applesauce cakes, brownies, and
biscuits, baking casseroles, and making batches of soups and stews. I
guess I go into pre-hibernation mode--gotta fill up and put on some fat
to get me through the winter.

I'm trying to be better about it this year. I grabbed a bag of lentils
and a butternut squash to make stew. I have some nice, lean venison for
another stew, and chili fixin's were on sale, so there's another
warm-me-up meal. I'll try to stay away from the casseroles, which tend
to be too creamy, cheesey, and fatty for my WOE. Hope the family doesn't
mind...

Amy (trying to resist the urge to bake a pumpkin pie)


Instead of the pie, buy a sugar pumpkin. They're smaller than jack 'o latern
pumpkins, and round. First, pierce some holes in it and microwave for about
10 minutes. Then, it will be tender enough to cut in half. Bake halves at
350 degrees for about an hour, or until soft. Add spices like cinnamon and
nutmeg and a little olive oil if you like. It should be sweet and tender.

Sounds fantastic! My DH is a pumpkin pie fanatic whereas I could take it or
leave it. I'll try this with him. I was looking for squash recipes that
could be made sweet as a dessert for the fall. It's 36 degrees (F) at 7:30
this morning - debating whether or not to wear a sweatshirt for my run.

I wish it was colder here. Now is when we get our summer here in No.
California. It's been way too hot over the last couple of weeks. I really
hate the heat. It makes me a slug and I tend to gain weight, because I don't
want to move. I like it when it's colder. Like walks in the rain, I love
them.

It doesn't get very hot here in the summer as a rule, except for maybe a
week or two of 90's. I tend to be very active in the summer and decrease
activity as fall and winter arrive. My goal this year is to not let that
happen. Just got some long sleeved t-shirts for running since even with my
arm warmers, it's time to do more layering. Hopefully the long johns will
be on the shelves this week.

I take it there's snow wher you live, right? When it does get to be snow
weather, why not take up cross country skiing? It is by far the best cardio
workout you can get. You workout your entire body and it's quite fun.

I have plenty of activities lined up for this winter, including trying XC
skiing if we get snow. The problem is that I like to do daily cardio
workouts and it's hard to get in some XC skiing before work in the morning
I plan to continue running outdoors until the snow and ice cover the
roads. DH and I will be snowshoeing in the evenings since I figured out how
to get to Curves in the morning before work.

I got a headlight at Wal-Mart! It's great for walking the dog in the woods.
However, on moonlit nights my buddies and I get together for Full Moon
Snowshoeing. It's such a blast - so bright and clear and gorgeous! A nice
cuppa tea when we're done and I sleep like a baby. I can't wait.

That sounds awesome! I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to snow
this year. My friends who are very active are all excited about taking me
downhill skiing (something I used to do for many years) and XC skiing. I've
already been given hand me down ski pants and DH bought me a new LL Bean
Anorak. He's looking forward to snowshoeing together. I keep joking that
if I get good enough on XC skis I can take the dog skijoring.

The biggest winter "sports" up here are ice fishing and snowmobiling. I like
the idea of a moonlight snowshoe blast. Let it snow!

They say the only thing that makes the ice fishing and snowmobiling any fun
is the drankin' ;-)

Since I couldn't find boots to go with the yardsale XC skis I bought this
summer, I'm off to the Bean's outlet this week.
Hope someone returned a pair in my size g
