Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. It’s the calm before the storm, time spent with family, and best of all the food. Turkey is ok in my book, I am more of a sides kinda girl. Stuffing, potatoes, veggies… Yum!

One Skillet Sweet Potato Hash
I sometimes struggle with breakfast ideas. I get stuck in a breakfast rut and end up eating the same thing over and over again. Blah, booooring! I think I just found my new favorite breakfast. No more plain Jane breakfast for me this week!
Easy Extra Creamy Hummus
I have made lots of hummus in my life, but could never figure out how to get that super creamy stuff you get at the store. I found the secret. Squeeze the skins off of those little buggers. It is kind of a pain, but totally worth it. The texture is so creamy, you’ll be glad you did!

Broccoli is in season at the local produce stands and I can’t get enough of it. It tastes perfect in this frittata! Frittatas are one of my favorite things to make.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins

Pumpkin Mac and Cheese
It’s officially pumpkin season! I love all things pumpkin! So today I made this pumpkin mac and cheese for lunch.
