P is for…Pumpkin Pie Pomegranate Pecan Parfait:

Try saying THAT 5 times fast! I layered Trader Joe’s European Style Yogurt w/ Stonyfield Pumpkin Pie Yogurt and topped it with pomegranate seeds and chopped pecans.

Does anyone else eat pomegranate seeds like cereal?!

P is for Planning:
After menu Planning for Thanksgiving (so exciting!!!), we went grocery shopping as 3 generations: Grandma, Momma, and Me. Oh yes, it was Pretty cute.
P is for Petite Samples
Petite samples at Costco that went into my belly! We didn’t buy much besides a 2 lb. bag of pecans and 3 lb. bag of walnuts. WAHOO!! Can you blame me? I grew up not eating nuts for 20 years of my life!
P is for Premiere:
After we came back I found out that Gossip Girl tonight is a repeat–the season 3 premiere!! JUST the episode I need to watch. How Perfect! So I decided to keep ‘dinner’ on the light side so I could workout and watch simultaneously! Plus, all the samples held me over well.

P is for PITCH with a capital B.
I whipped out our Jack Lalanne juicer and made some cucumber+spinach juice. My dad bought this juicer years ago and now I understand why we never use it. Clean up is a Pitch with a capital B.
P is for Papaya:
I also cut open this massive yet non-flavorful Papaya
Oh well, the nutrients are still in there right?

P is for uhh Phabulous Cookies:
I then baked another batch of cookies for my family….and ME. I may have had a couple. So much for keeping it light pre-workout.

This parfait looks yummy. I’ll try with another yogurt
No almond butter on top? I tried to drizzle mine but it’s too thick. It’s Maranatha, no stir.

P is also for Phenominal Day! Wow, first, the pumpkin parfait is just spectacular. Really no words for this one girly.
And those cookies! I really really would like to hire you to bake all of my Christmas cookies this year. Please!
I am so glad you are having a PHANTASTIC time at home! Don’t forget to shoot me some dates for a possible Blogger dinner in December! It’s all I’ve been thinking about.
Heehee, this post is so cute, Allie! You always come up with such creative themes!
The parfait is absolutely gorgeous too!
I’m glad to hear you are having so much fun at home (except for the juicer clean up thing
)
okayy I am so jealous that you’re at home right now, watching gossip girl, and baking and doing all sorts of wonderful things.
where did you study abroad in london?
I did, too, while I was at duke – that’s why I’m asking.
P is for what a PERFECT PARFAIT!!!
Perfectly perfect!
Whoa, I’m going to try eating pomegranate seeds like cereal one day, haha. And what?! No nuts for 20 years?! That’s crazy… nuts were my favorite snack when I was little. My mom and I munched on sunflower seeds (peel the shell first!) and pistachios like mad.
Still waiting for that cookie recipe
Just kidding, take your time and enjoy your time at home! I have tried to like papaya over and over again…hasn’t happened!
I love that PARFAIT! It’s Phenomenal! HAHAHA! Cute post! I love all the P’s. You are so creative. Those cookies don’t look so bad either. I would have had at least 5
The parfait looks beautiful! I love the taste of pomegranate, but the seeds always seem to hard for me to chew. That center part seems like too much of a pit, and I get them stuck in my teeth or feel like I should spit them out. I guess I’m just a wimpy chewer.
What a gorgeous parfait, it’s almost too pretty to eat! I hate when I get a bland papaya, but I always tell myself it’s healthy and I should eat it anyway. I usually throw it in a smoothie when that happens.
wow that parfait looks to die for!
P is a perfect letter. Love your day full of P’s!
I just seeded my first pomegranate tonight! I love little arils!!! I am definitely going to be buying some more poms soon.
i am digging the alliteration! better have this again wednesday~it is national parfait day!!
Wow, love the looks of your parfait! The layers of yogurt are so perfect. P is for perfect;)
If I could get away with I think I would do away with utensils altogether when it comes to pom seeds–I’d just dive in face first!
Give me that cookies! And parfait!It looks amazing really, mine never look so perfect
