This morning I assembled a delicious yogurt bowl for breakfast. 
In the mix: pumpkin (which I warm up in the microwave), yogurt, stevia, pumpkin pie spice, chia seeds and cereals. 
Served with a spoonful of PB.
After taking pictures, I mix it all up and dig in! There is a reason it’s called a yogurt mess. It looks gross, but tastes delicious. 
After mixing I went put some coffee in my to-go cup and Ben took a big bite of my breakfast. He was very unpleasantly surprised by the taste. For some reason he thought I was eating broccoli cheese soup for breakfast! He said his brain couldn’t process the idea of cheese soup while actually tasting pumpkin yogurt fast enough. Ha!
I have been feeling a little bit of a scratchy throat and wanted to scare it away with a veggie juice. Hopefully, this immunity juice will do the trick!
When I got home I threw together an easy lunch – tomato soup and open faced grilled cheese 🙂 And a handful of chocolate chips for dessert.

I would love some free subway.
My go to sammy is veggie delite with all the veggies (-pickles and olives) and mustard and a bit of sweet onion. Unless I am feeling wild and get that new buffalo sauce which is spicy enough to make even me tear up… and that is saying a lot.
I love Subway so much, and I’d love to try the new egg sandwiches they’ve got now!
I love subway 🙂 You really can’t beat a $3 lunch!
Yes please! I love Subway and they actually have several Subways here on this lovely little island (the big island of hawaii). They don’t have a lot of restaurants/fast food places here. =( Which I guess is good for my waist line! But I miss me some Wendy’s and Sonic and my local Mexican Food joints!
I want me some subway sammiches.
silly Ben!
My husband is a Subway fanatic! If I won that card he’d make me pay for his lunches with it. 🙂
I do! I also want some of your breakfast mess – yumm!
Free sandwiches?! Yes!
Do I want free sandwiches?!?!? yes, please!!
If you look at my bank statement from the first semester of grad school, it’s either Subway or the local ice cream shop. Subway always has a special place in my heart 🙂
Congrats on the marathon! I’m running New York City Marathon in 17 days! My first one, so nervous! Your pumpkin breakfast looked great.
PS i looooove me some free subway!
Yes please! Subway is one of my favourite “fast” food restaurant (or well the only one i like going to). Except my student budget doesn’t allow or many of their delicious sandwiches 🙁
Also..I like your new page layout 🙂
That is too funny about your breakfast! My fiance has done similar things in the past. He loves subway so the gift certificate would be great for him 🙂
YUM–I love Subway! 🙂
Nah, I hate free, tasty things…ok, just kidding! 🙂 A free Subway card would be awesome. I love that place.
i LOVE me some subway!! as a college student, subway is a crucial food group 😉
Mmmmm…grilled cheese and tomato soup
A free subway giftcard!?!? Sounds great.
Ha! Something similar happened to me and my other half recently. I had yogurt with pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and nuts, I thought it was ok but when he tasted it he thought it was the nastiest thing he’d ever tasted. He continued to give me the eye because he couldn’t get the taste out of his mouth lol!!
Mmmm I love Subway and if it is free…that is even better!
Free sandwiches, wraps, breakfast….all of it YES and YUM!!!! Excellent yogurt mess, btw 🙂
Broccoli cheese soup? lol, Ben is so funny.

while eating breakfast of french toast
not the healthiest way to start my day

subway makes such a great lunch! especially if you get the apple wedges 🙂
I love subway but never remember to go there when I’m looking for something quick and healthy…maybe this would remind me! 😉
Love subway! yum.
I love Subway and would love to win the gift card :).

Ha! I hate it when I take a bite or drink of something thinking it’s something else completely different. It throws you off big time!
I would love to have some free Subway! 🙂
I never understand your cereal bowls..
.until now! I don’t like mixing foods so was never sure how you ate it. Ha! Makes perfect sense. I have started running and want to build up to run a half marathon or 5k! You’ve inspired me. I can do it. 🙂
Free subs, please!
Oddly enough I never understood the mixed-up yogurt mess idea. I make yogurt bowls and then don’t mix them, except in my mouth and tummy. Someday I’m going to have to try and mix and see what happens…
Luckily with sandwiches you don’t have that problem!
I like sandwiches for lunch because everyone can get exactly what they want!!!
We love subway!! My kids even choose it over any other “fast food”!
I go to Subway almost every Friday for lunch. It’s the one day I don’t have to pack it up. Subway on the house would make that Friday tradition a little more fun!
um-yes please!
yes. yes. yes. perhaps now that i try to be “healthy” i should stop indulging myself with the spicy italian five dollar footlong…
…or maybe not. life’s too short.
I do! Being a tuna lover yourself, I think we should protest for a lighter version with lowfat mayo 🙂 I thought of you last week at a work conference when i was posed with the choice of chicken breast or tuna. Chicken was healthier but I knew I would regret not getting the tuna so I did! You are teaching me that 🙂
Free sandwiches are the best kind!
I love pumpkin in yogurt! Yum!
Heck yes I want some free sandwiches!! I’ve never thought to warm my pumpkin in the micro. will try.
i want free sandwiches because i love their pickles. i do.
Pumpkin and PB for breakfast sounds awesome! Thanks for the giveaway!
Free sandwiches? Yes! And your yogurt concoction looks like some I’ve made. But I’ve never thought to add pumpkin… I must try it!
quitecontrary1977@hotmail.com
sign me up for free lunches! I love subway!
i love subway!!!! bring on the turkey subs….
I’ve been having a hankering for some Subway lately. Love to win the giftcard!
What are the chances you can get Subway to develop a sandwich using pumpkin??
i make a pumpkin yogurt mess too! i add muesli/almond butter/pumpkin/yogurt and let it sit overnight. i’ve never added chia seeds though, so i think i might try that.
also, i enjoy free subway sandwiches. that is all.
free anything always sounds good … free and tasty sounds better. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.
subway is our go-to stop on road trips—i would love this certificate!
hope you start feeling better!
Who turns down free anything? Except maybe free flesh eating bacteria. I think people would turn that down.
Thanks for the fun giveaway! And congrats on your marathon 🙂
Subway: Eat Fresh
Id love some free sammiches! num num num 🙂
I LOVE Subway! Pick me, pick me! 🙂
I’m a broke college junior – of course I’d love free subs!
I’ve been feeling a little under the weather too, I’m currently eating a big bowl of chickpeas and spinach in hopes that the protein and iron pump up my immune system. That yogurt bowl looks oddly good!
Subway is a great choice for a quick and healthy lunch!
Love me some subway!
I’d love me some Subway!!
I love Subway!
yes. i like sandwiches. 🙂
You don’t know how OBSESSED I am with Subway. One time a lady was making my sandwich, then (with the same gloves on) stopped to pick up the phone, handle money and then came back to finish my sandwich…. WITH THE SAME GLOVES. I still ate it.
I deserve the prize just for that!
Haha, some of the messiest meals are definitely the tastiest!
Subway love!!!!
Hellz yeah! Who can resist free sandwiches?!
Haha, my breakfast oatmeal always looks pretty funky when all the ingredients are mixed in as well… but it tastes so good. 😛
& yes, I’d love some free sandwiches!
it does look cheesy! but it looks delicious too!!
Oh that sounds like a bad experience–I hate when a dish looks sweet or savory but turns out to be the opposite of what you expect! I just ate a giant roll with cheese for dinner, so I could really use the giftcard!
LOL, poor Ben quite the shock he must have felt! LOL
Do you use any sweetener when you eat pumpkin straight like that? I always find it too bitter without. But, then again, I’m a sugar-aholic. Maybe that’s the problem…..hmmm… 🙂
Great giveaway!
I totally sweeten it if I’m using plain yogurt. Sometimes if I use vanilla or honey I can go without or use less, but I’m not a fan of the straight up pumpkin.
I would love to win! Thanks for a great giveaway!
Yes! I love free samiches.
Heck yes I want to win some free Subway! Also, SO proud of you for finishing your marathon! Way to go Monica!
Subway is an on-the-go fave although sometimes the employees get confused when I say I want all of the vegetables: ‘Do you want lettuce? Do you want cucumbers?’ Yes, ALL of them! 😉
Free is ALWAYS good.
I love Subway! For your commit to fit challenge I have come up with a few things: (1) Stop eating out so much. Lately we have been eating out 3-4 times a week because I have been too busy too cook, which is setting us back $$ wise. Now, I will cook 5 meals a week, one day for leftovers, and the other my husband and I will go out somewhere tasty but healthy. Love Panera and Chipotle!! (2) Work out for at least 30 minutes a day. I never work out and I think my body hates me for it. No matter how much I sleep, I am still exhausted. I would love to receive the gift card! Healthier opportunity to eat out! =]
I would Love me some free sammies!
I want to try subway breakfast!
Hmm…how long does canned pumpkin keep in the fridge? I bought a huge can and am struggling to use it up!
I love Subway veggie sandwiches and giveaways – put the two together and I would be one happy camper 🙂
i love tomato soup and grilled cheese. one of my favorite combos. and i love any meal that ends in chocolate chips. i also love me some subway.
There’s nothing better than free sandwiches! 🙂 Well, maybe free champagne and chocolate but I’m not picky when it comes to free.
I love Subway! So of course I want some free food from there! I work and go to school full time. That means that sometimes I have to eat out I tend to head there. It’s a nice healthy alternative to other fast foods. Which really helps, since I am training for my first half marathon coming up in November!
Also, I never thought about mixing up all my ingrediants when I make a yougurt bowl. Have to try it!
I’m afraid I am going to turn orange from all the canned pumpkin I am eating lately. We are having tomato soup tonight for dinner. This weather is crazy here in socal! My family loves Subway, I get a bunch of $5 foot longs and can feed everyone for cheap.
Can you REALLY turn orange???
Bring on the free sandwiches!
I love Subway. Feed me. 🙂
I would LOVE to win a subway gift card. I have a subway right by my work…it would be perfect:)
I would love to win! YUM! I am trying to get healthy at 50 and it is hard work!

Free sandwiches? YES!!! FREE SANDWICHES FTW!!!!! 🙂
Free samwich, free samwich! I love Subway! Especially their chocolate chip cookies…did I just write that? Whoops. So much for eating fresh.
I love Subway!! It is definitely my go-to fast food option! Turkey on whole wheat, with a mix of lite mayo/mustard, all the veggies, no onions or hot peppers. Ahhhhhhhh….. the sigh of a satisfied customer.
I would love a Subway giftcard! I love your food combos, I wish I could come up with something like that! Funny Ben for thinking that was broccoli cheese soup!
Of course Id love free sandwiches:) Cant even imagine trying the yogurt bowl and thinking it was broccoli cheese soup…yuck! (although the bowl itself looks delicious!)
Of course I would love to have free sandwiches!!!!! It’s a bonus that it’s Subway- veggie delights are awesome!!
Why wouldn’t I want free sandwiches?!
I would love some free sandwiches… even though they have been getting not so stellar reviews, the fat kid in me NEEDS to taste-test the new breakfast sandwiches!
PS. Loving the before and after shots of your breakfast!
I’d love to win the subway card – I’m a cash/time-strapped college girl!
Pick me! I would love to when a Subway giftcard!
Yes!
I love Subway, and the whole soup/yogurt thing is hilarious! Maybe you could trick him again tomorrow?
I’d love to win some sandwiches! Talk about easy lunches when I forget/don’t feel like packing one!
I LOVE Subway, but because I can make a sandwich at home for alot less then Subway, I dont go very often. I would love to win this giveaway so that I could get more Subway sandwiches!! 🙂
Would love to win the gift card. The breakfast bowl idea you showed was pretty cool. I’m going to have to try something like that myself. Thanks for the good ideas!
I love free sandwiches! Especially if they make me fit :).
Oh I could buy Subway veggie flatbreads for myself & coworkers! YUM
Congratulations on the marathon!!!! =)
I love subway, it is my go-to meal when I am out and need a quick meal!
since i eat subway almost every day this gift card would def help my wallet out!
lolo
also congrats on the marathon time! u seriously rocked it!
I say “YES” to free Subway sandwiches. I love the veggie sub on flatbread!
Do you use canned pumpkin?
Yes, it’s canned pumpkin. It takes me a few days to use it up so I microwave it when it’s been in the fridge 🙂
Thanks for the reply! And MMMMM. I love pumpkin however I can get it…and since I can’t have nutmeg, that usually means opening a can and experimenting with new ways to eat it. Thanks again!
I love Subway!! It’s my favorite go-to place for lunch when I need to buy lunch because its reasonably priced and healthy!
Wow, thanks for the great giveaway! I love Subway and I’ve been wanting to try their breakfast sandwiches.
I love subway, and Im a poor college student. This would officially be awesome!
I work in a tiny town and Subway is the only “fast” food I will eat when I don’t bring my lunch to work. So yes. I would like some free sandwiches 🙂
Pumpkin+yogurt mess = my favorite part of fall. But my fiance is always “surprised” by the flavor too.
OK, I know I am two (?) days late now, but I wanted to say CONGRATS on the marathon. I don’t really know what it’s like to be a runner with such experience and PRs and goals, but I do know that as one who isn’t a runner, I am DAMN IMPRESSED by your marathon time! Girlfriend, if I ever do a marathon, I am walking/strutting/dancing that thing, cocktail and snacks in hand. I’m not even kidding. I don’t care if it takes me all day!
Anyway, that’s my long-winded way of saying: you’s a boss. 😉
Broccoli cheddar soup sounds delicious, but not exactly standard breakfast food…
And I <3 Subway.
Subway would be wooonderful for a couple work-day lunches.
I’d love to win a Subway giftcard. Love their sammies but can’t justify spending $4 for something I could make for much cheaper.
I’d love to win! Hope you feel better 🙂
I ate a pumpkin/yogurt mess in front of my boyfriend the other day and he was not interested what-so-ever. But I did make broccoli and cheese soup last night that he loved.
Apparently the boy grew up with some song (Raffi maybe?) that goes: “Sandwiches are beautiful / Sandwiches are fine / I like sandwiches / I eat them all the time…” and it gets stuck in my head. How crazy is it that you can have a song stuck in your head that you’ve never heard? And that, Monica, is your daily wtf. 😛
That’s really funny Ben thought you were eating broccoli cheddar soup for breakfast!
I love Subway, its the easiest (healthy/filling) vegetarian fast food 🙂
I know. I was like, “When would I ever eat broccoli cheese soup for breakfast?! Do you even know me?”
I’d love a free sandwich! Subway is a good “fast food” option for me. Especially when I’m running late and can’t pack a lunch!
I’m actually going to Subway for dinner tonight. It’s quick, generally healthy, and very convenient.
I’d love to win! Believe it or not, my husband and I had tomato soup and grilled cheese for dinner last night. It was a great meal for rainy weather 🙂
