Am I the only one that stalks the grocery stores for spaghetti squash at the end of summer, until it’s officially in season? And as soon as it was there & ready for me in Trader Joe’s- I grabbed three! Tell me I’m not crazy. Fall is my favorite for many reasons, but spaghetti squash has got to be one reason at the top of my list. It’s…
Let’s talk about… cornbread! It’s one of my very favorite side dishes, that’s warm & comforting and fills you right up. My favorite way to indulge is with a fresh, hot cornbread muffin sliced in half, slathered with whipped butter or ghee, served alongside a bowl of hot chili. I mean c’mon, right!?

Nothing says fall like pumpkin, am I right? Trips to the pumpkin patch, pumpkin flavored drinks & treats. It’s such a festive & cozy time of year. Until you layer on your boots & flannel and head out for a crisp fall day, only to realize it’s still 80 degrees outside! Can you relate!? I’m somehow shocked by this every year living in California, but I should…
