Fabulous Four
I hit up the Fab Four today: Target, Trader Joe’s, Harris Teeter and Whole Foods. They are all within a 1 mile radius from my parents’ condo! I spent a lot of time buying very little–just browsing around mainly.
For breakfast, I tried remaking my Multigrain Butternut Squash Banana Pancakes sans b-nut squash and banana. T’was a bad idea because the pancakes really needed some squash/pumpkin for moisture. As a result, they turned out a little dry.
Oh well, the toppings made up for it! Chocolate chips, unsweetened coconut flakes and almond butter drizzle. With a side of maple syrup.
YAHHHMM!!
While shopping, I sipped on a half caf coffee from Starbucks w/ 3 pumps of Pumpkin Spice Syrup—Mmmmm! This is officially my favorite hot bevvy. (repeat photo)
I spotted THIS at Target!!!
They’re forgetting the most important part: EAT!!!! 
When I came back I had a Stonyfield Pumpkin Pie yogurt that I got at Harris Teeter using my coupon from HLS! It was double the value because coupons under 99 cents get doubled at HT.
50 cents–> $1 off! Cha-ching!
I liked it! I’d heard mixed reviews around the blogworld so I didn’t know what to expect. It had a pleasant pumpkiny flavor. Definitely different from my pumpkin mixed into yogurt creation though.
I snacked on 1/2 a bagel w/ almond butter before hitting the tennis court for ~ 1 hour with my Momma. No photo!

I stopped by Whole Foods to get dinner since my parents went out with their friends. Parents OUT. Allie AT HOME. Ya gotta love this picture.
I got some veggies from the salad bar (I’ve been lacking some leafy greens since coming home).
- Seafood including shrimp, scallops, and calamari
- 3 cubes of tofu
I like putting grain salads into little sample dishes so they don’t get lost in the box of salad. That way I can actually taste them!
- Butternut Fregola Salad
- Hazelnut Wild Rice Salad
- Multigrain Tabouleh Salad
All eaten on top of my salad!
I also had some butter pecan ice cream x2….perhaps 3 There’s a reason why I use a small dish!
Off to…
- Watch the American Music Awards
- Pretend to do homework
- And then watch My Sister’s Keeper (FINALLY) w/ my Momma ($1 from the Red Box!!).

Ah, now more reasons to visit you! That butternut squash salad sounds delish
Let me know what you think of ‘My Sister’s Keeper’- I watched it on the plane over to NY and cried the whole.way.through. Good movie though!
Pumpkin pie yogurt?? Yum, sign me up for some of that!
and I am loving the starbucks holiday cup hehe
What a great idea! I love how you put your grains in the sauce containers. I always have the same problem whenever I go to the WF salad bar. Everything has the tendency to get lost and then I forget what I even put in my salad. I’m going to have to try your idea the next time I’m there. BTW, your pancakes looked gorgeous – I never would have guessed they weren’t as moist as you would have liked. They looked perfect to me. Enjoy your time at home!
Target seriously has the cutest frames–I could spend hours in there really!
Oooh that picture frame is perfect for you
But yeah, they should have forgotten the eating part!
You are so lucky that your parents live near such great places. The Whole Foods hot bar stuff looks deeelish! It’s been way too long since my last venture to WFs
