Happy Thanksgiving! or as we also like to call it Happy Friendsgiving:) It’s that time of year again, where everyone cooks up a big turkey, some mashed potatoes, a delicious stuffing, and of course the gravy. It’s also that time of year where loads of leftovers make their appearance, and your not sure whether to eat some more (even though your stuffed), throw it out (not happening) or secretly give it to the dog (what dog?…). Have no fear! We’ve got the solution for you right here! Yes that did rhyme The best way to “get rid” of leftovers is to repurpose them into a whole ‘nother meal. Repurposing is…

Super Greens Soup
I don’t know about you but as the weather has gotten colder all I want is cozy sweaters, fuzzy socks, and lots of soup. I am one of those always cold people and soup is the food that keeps us going all winter long. It can be anything from instant ramen to hearty homemade veggie soups – I will eat them all! Soup is also a great cure all for anything that ails you. And this soup will help with quite a few ailments. Jalapeños, spinach, and broccoli all have lots of vitamin c to help boost your immune system which is especially important this time of year. The spice…

Baked Sweet Potato with BBQ Meat Sauce
Potato Potahto…whichever way you say it they are delicious! To be honest, I wasn’t always a sweet potato fan, I can’t put my finger on it, but something in the flavor and texture did not appeal to me. A regular Idaho potato thought is a whole ‘nother story!

Sweet potatoes are super healthy and are loaded with fiber and vitamins. They are also high…

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
“Pumpkin spice and everything nice” has been our theme lately, and we just cant get enough:) I am more of a Spring kind of girl, but there’s something so beautiful about Fall season that screams coziness, pumpkin flavored everything, and chocolate- because duh chocolate belongs everywhere, and in everything….am I right!? While developing this recipe I knew I wanted to gear towards the healthier side. I love taking classic desserts and transforming into a healthier masterpiece. “Sugar Free” anything doesn’t always carry a good name, especially in desserts. But today that changes! Ladies & Gents, I present to you the most moist (trying say that 10 times fast:) naturally sweetened,…

Maple & Pumpkin Soup with Pepita Crunch
Maple & Pumpkin is a classic combination sent from fall heaven. It gives all the good vibes of cozy sweaters, crisp air, and falling leaves. Add a pumpkin spice latte to the mix and I think you have fall in a nutshell. That’s exactly what I was going for in this recipe. Sukkah Vibes As many of you may now the holiday of Sukkos is fast approaching. In my mind fall and Sukkos go hand and hand like well…. maple & pumpkin. Chilly nights, huddled in coats, staring up at the beautiful night sky from under the schach. One thing that always gets made in my house on Sukkos is…
