Whole Wheat Butternut Squash Biscuits

Happy Thanksgiving!
While I absolutely love Christmas, I love that Thanksgiving is less commercialized and allows us to focus a bit more on the things in life that really matter. It’s that time of year when we stop and actually speak aloud the things we are grateful for in our lives.

Not to mention all the wonderful food we typically gorge ourselves with on Thanksgiving!

Before I dive in to these Butternut Squash Biscuits, I wanted to stop and take a minute to share with you 10 things I am grateful for…

Sweet Potato Waffles (Grain and Refined Sugar-Free!)

I’m sure by now you know I love me some sweet potatoes. But for Breakfast? Yes, please!

Josh and I recently went to see Sigur Ros, an amazing Icelandic band that he’s loved for years, at the Woods at Fontanel. While the show was absolutely incredible, we had to wait for a decent amount of time before we could cross through the gates and make a beeline for the front near the stage. SO, what better way to pass the time than to scroll through food blogs??…

Butternut Squash Soup with Fennel

As promised, I have a soup recipe for you! And just in time as the weather continues to get a bit colder.

A few weeks ago, I ate at Panera with my family. Typically I’m a complete salad girl when it comes to Panera, but being a sucker for fall flavored dishes, squash in particular, I couldn’t resist trying out their Autumn Squash Soup with Roasted Pumpkin Seeds. It was very sweet, but overall, the flavor was wonderful. Intrigued, I looked up the ingredients online and saw it had apple juice, honey, and several other great spices…

Acorn Squash with Barley and Goat Cheese

Trying to stay on a budget can definitely be a challenge.
Josh and I are making an effort to stick to a budget without sacrificing time with friends. Dinner, movies, concerts, plays, coffee, all things we love to do, especially with others. But sometimes we have to be creative to make these things happen without blowing the budget…

Grain Free Apple Crumble Pie and Salted Caramel Ice Cream

Every now and then, we all need a little indulgence!

I make an effort to eat really healthy eighty percent of the time so that I can treat myself the other twenty percent. If you have not already figured it out, I have a huge sweet tooth. So when I speak of indulgences I am always referring to something sweet. And what better way to indulge during these lovely fall months than with this Grain Free Apple Crumble Pie and Salted Caramel Ice Cream??…

Roasted and Stuffed Butternut Squash

Birthday Season.

Does anyone else have one of those in your family? You know, that month or two during the year where the birthdays are just stacked on top of each other? Or were my parents, grandparents, parents-in-law, and grandparents-in-law the only ones who seemed to all get together and decide what the best time of the year was to have a baby? Surely some of you can relate…
