Everything Thanksgiving, I like to do something different but with the fall flavor staples. This year, pumpkin was of course a must and every good Thanksgiving needs mac and cheese, so why not try and put these two things together? I know I know…you just questioned me, but trust me when I say this thing […]

I totally made this one up, like I do with most all my recipes. It turned out really good, so I had to share. I’m always trying to incorporate new grains and get creative. I love quinoa, but my hubby always says it’s so bland.. yadda yadda. I was on a mission to make him […]

Having only four simple and relatively healthy ingredients is why I find myself making it again and again. So, needing a dessert for tomorrows festivities? Look no further! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AMERICA!
