Hello! Okay, you now how some bloggers have babies and inundate your feed with cute baby pics, well I am having a pumpkin baby so you’ve been warned. I bought a big can of pumpkin so I’ve had Pumpkin Oatmeal and Pumpkin Yogurt every day this week. And I have an important life lesson to share.
But first… running.
I was sporting an all gray ensemble this morning. I need some color up in here!
In non-Fall news, I’m still eating watermelon every day. It’s sort of my thing.
In confession news… remember that time I found a black widow in my grapes?!
I didn’t eat grapes without washing them for a whole week. Now I just check them really well before buying them. This way I can still eat them dirty on the way home. I know a lot of you think I’m gross. It’s because I am.
I also super randomly bought this impulse item because it was on manager’s special and I keep seeing commercials for them and the people in the commercial look like there are enjoying them so much. I want that experience! (Yes, I’m a sucker for marketing.)
Since I bought a massive can of pumpkin I have been putting it in everything. I love it. Last night I made pumpkin yogurt as a little treat.
Pumpkin yogurt: 1 container plain yogurt (or flavor that would compliment pumpkin like vanilla or honey), 1/3 cup pumpkin, stevia or sweetener of your choice (I used 2 packets), pumpkin pie spice to taste (I used a lot). Mix. Top with good stuff. Eat.
But this is why you shouldn’t eat in front of the TV… well, this is why I shouldn’t eat in front of the TV:
My walk of shame is the trail of food I make from the fridge to the couch.

I always eat in front of the tv or while playing on my phone. I think the dirty grapes situation is pretty low risk. 🙂
Jana says
I totally eat in front of the TV! We even bought a nice dining table set, and we always walk past the table to sit in front of the TV to eat *hangs head in shame*
Rachael @ Catch Me if You Can says
I’m that wired person who doesn’t wash fruit or veggies…but if I found a black widow I think I would change my tune real quick!

i live alone, in a studio, so eating in front of the tv is inevitable. but even if i lived in a mansion with others, i’d still do the same. i love tv and food, and together= bliss.
i never wash any produce unless there is visible dirt…you’re super clean compared to me!
Becky @ Ok, so here's the plan says
I almost never wash grapes, it horrifies my boyfriend.
We always eat in front of the tv, but that’s partially because we don’t have a dining room table…
Meesh says
Pssssht not crazy at all. Gotta just eat those grapes when you want em. Spiders be damned.
Laurel @blondeandabrit.com says
I ate cereal the other day knowing there was a high probability there were some ants from our little ant issue we had in the box. So I think I beat you on the gross scale. I was desperate and we were out of food.
Erin @ Erin's Inside Job says
I tried those caramel chews and had high hopes, but unfortunately I wasn’t a big fan. Also, I don’t wash my grapes either. I think it’s what the cool kids do.
Annie R says
I mean I definitely don’t wash my fruit every time before I eat it, but if I found a black window spider (or even a daddy long legs) in there I would probably never eat it again. Ever. I don’t see how I could possibly move on, so props to you for recovering so quickly!
Also that pumpkin yogurt looks INCREDIBLE.
Susan says
I’m the dirtiest ever – I (99.9% of the time) never wash fruits or vegetables before I eat them. I like to live on the edge!
Shannon in Tustin says
I don’t watch TV; just no time! Dirty grapes? VERY rarely; they at least get a rinse in the sink. I don’t think it’s a huge deal, but I just don’t feel the need to eat them before I get home from the store. I buy them mostly for my kiddos anyway. 🙂
Tracey says
We eat in front of the TV all the time. It’s what my husband wants to do. When my son’s girlfriend comes over, we eat at the table because she doesn’t like to eat in front of the TV. I prefer to eat on the table on my deck (as long as it’s not cold). I don’t think eating dirty grapes is gross….I just get a whole level of anxiety about the sprays they put on our fruits and vegetables, which is why I was EVERYTHING!!! I have been eating Oikos pumpkin pie yogurt and I love it. I really do. I didn’t think to add pumpkin pie filling and pumpkin pie seasonings to a plain or vanilla yogurt. I will do that!!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
I eat in front of my laptop 😉 Sometimes there’s netflix involved too 😛
Heather@The Rocky Road says
Hey, I grew up on a farm, so we had vegetables straight from the garden all the time straight, just a little rinse and your golden 🙂
cheryl says
I ALWAYS eat in front of the TV. It is such a bad habit, that I will eat in the evening while watching even if I am not hungry. I am pretty sure my TV only works that way.
Rachel S says
I give my kids dirty grapes at the store so they will behave and not whine.
Pippa says
Ohh we’ve all been there with the spillage issues! I’m always eating at my desk at the office and I just keep napkins around at all times!
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I always eat in front of the tv. My dining room table goes untouched for months at a time.
I’ve had dirty grapes too. Sometimes I just can’t wait to get home to eat them.
