The PRETTIEST Fall Sugar Cookies! ๐ŸŽƒ๐Ÿงก


Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ

Ready to make some pumpkin cookies? I thought so. These classic sugar cookies have just the right amount of pumpkin spice and a crunchy sugar topping that makes them equally beloved by kids and adults alike. Send them to the kiddos class party? Definitely, but make enough to bring to work, too!

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isnโ€™t that what itโ€™s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

Hey friendsโฃ๏ธ Things are heating up, Thanksgiving-wise. But as you may know, I never plan my holiday meals too far in advance. I figure a week is plenty of time to obsess over one dinner.

It's smooth, mellow, and packed with nutrients that support immune health. Plus, it's helping me tackle another ongoing issue ~ staying...

Pumpkin Cornbread (or muffins) This recipe is like an old friend. It's a cinch to make (just whisk it up), and the pumpkin, molasses, and hint of spice transforms crumbly cornbread into something moist and dreamy. We love it warm with butter on Thanksgiving, or crumbled under our leftover turkey chili. I use this recipe as the base for my...
