Orange Berry Vanilla Green Smoothie

IMG_8778

Here’s a super duper quick post. Whenever I make a smoothie that turns out exceptionally yummy, I have to share it with you.

Thanksgiving Edition: Cranberry Pecan Maple Scalloped Sweet Potatoes & Parsnips

Thanksgiving Edition: Cranberry Pecan Maple Scalloped Sweet Potatoes & Parsnips

All of the traditional Thanksgiving colors are reflected in this unique twist on sweet potato casserole. I know some families are also pretty split on a sweet versus savory version.
