A telltale sign that colder weather is approaching is my desire to move to warmer, albeit still clean, foods.

This morning I had a piping hot bowl of butternut squash soup for breakfast and I loved it.
A little atypical perhaps, but delicious all the same, not to mention super healthy (and even better, I used locally grown squash from the farmers’ market).

What was your favorite breakfast cereal growing up?
When I was little I was wild about Fruit Loops. I loved all the colors and of course, I couldn’t get enough of the sweet, sugary taste. There was nothing better than mom coming home with a big box of them from the grocery store that my brother
