Ever Feel Like This?

FALL IS IN THE AIR - and I love pumpkin!

FALL IS IN THE AIR - and I love pumpkin! 

There is a chill in the air this morning here in Hotlanta and I already miss the heat..... BUT,  I do love the fade of green to the vibrant oranges and yellows of leaves on the trees. The feeling of the brisk air on an afternoon jog. And thought of Halloween and Thanksgiving on the horizon has me wanting to EAT! Pumpkin that is.






Between the pumpkin shakes, lattes, spreads, butters, creamers, donuts, waffles, and breads to name just a few, I can NOT seem to get enough pumpkin. So when I volunteered for my small group to bring a dessert and promised pumpkin, I reflected back in the day, years and years ago I ran across and amazing recipe for a Double Layer Pumpkin Pie. It was always a Thanksgiving hit.  It was no bake and it had TWO layers of yummy goodness. I knew I wanted to replicate it but I knew pie for 15 people just wasn't going to do.  So this is what I came up with-----

for lack of a better name
(I am open to suggestions)


Pumpkin Bowl 
not pie cause it's in a bowl 

I used the Kraft recipe mostly, except I added a tidbit more cool whip and pumpkin cause, well duh, it's good and I can't follow directions.

Double Layer Pumpkin Pie










 






 












Layering: 

Graham Crackers I went safe with regular graham cracker but next time I think I'll live on the edge a little use a ginger snap, snicker doodle cookie or a cinnamon graham cracker. 

Pumpkin Pudding Filling make sure to get it all the way to the edge if you are using a glass bowl. If it looks good it will taste even better. 

Cream Cheese Filling be careful not to get them mixed or you will have more of an orange tinted cream cheese filling and not a nice white layer. 

Graham Crackers - I built them like a mosaic to even did a double layer. 

Then spread the rest of the pumpkin and cream cheese. I added a very thin layer of just cool whip to the very top to make it extra white. Then sprinkled with graham crackers. 

This was done by taking two halves of a graham cracker and rubbing them together at the edges. It spreads like dust. 

This recipe makes a GREAT POTLUCK dish.  
Everyone will love it! 
unless they don't then, they can go fall in a well....

Day 2 Best of Beachbody
INSANITY 
Cario Abs
Today we did Shaun T's Insanity Cardio Abs.  
The title says it all ---- INSANE!
So we had a little fun with it. A workout should be something you enjoy not dread.
Although I believe Tony Horton's Ab Ripper X is THE hardest, biggest bang for your 15 minute ab workout this one comes in number 1 on the fun scale.

It starts with a 3 minute jog, high knees, twist, jump knee tucks warmup, with is the truly insane part. If you have any energy left you, hit the deck for some C-sit core work. 
Total workout time is just about 20 minutes. 
You will feel this workout in the morning and will be looking forward to it on your calendar!

Day 1 of The Best of Beachbody:

P90X Ab Ripper Review

Here is a quick video of me and my co-coach Cheryl busting out some P90X Ab Ribber X. 
This ab workout is truly the best ab workout on the market! This was the first time I had done ARX in probably over two months because we were on vacation and truthfully just slacking on the ab specific workouts. 
In the P90X program ARX is done 3 times a week. 
Here is just a quick glimpse of some of the moves. We did this last night I am sore this morning! I can feel it in my lower abs, upper abs and my obliques.
The actual video is 16 minutes but only feels like five. Tony moves quickly from one exercise to the next.  No time for boredom, that's for sure! When I first start out, I can only crank out about 18-20 on each exercise. Tony pushes for 25 each and 40 on the last one, Mason twist. 
This workout is for EVERYONE. If I can do it, anyone can do it! 
You can modify or you can do less than the 25 the rest of the group does. This is great because once you get better you will have room to grow.
Even if you aren't doing or have no plans of doing P90X you still need to check out this insane ab workout! You will NOT find another one like it! 
They have an app for it or you can buy the entire program here.
