Can I admit, I am that girl who has a million and one photos of leaves and pretty trees on my phone right now? My husband keeps telling I don’t need another one, but I think I do, because fall leaves make me happy, so there.

Fall makes me endlessly happy—can’t wipe that smile off my face type of haps.

So turkey day is right around the corner and I am super excited to be spending it with my entire family, the first time in 8 years, but more about that HERE.

Can I also admit we aren’t even having turkey?!  Does anyone even like turkey?? Unless its the smoked turkey from my cookbook, then that stuff is unreal.  We are eating prime rib from US Wellness Meats instead and all super happy about that!

Do what makes you happy, unless that means eating a Snickers bar, don’t do that.

Also, go grab a copy of my cookbook and make this grain-free pumpkin cheesecake, I promise you won’t regret it (yes, it is one of the few recipes that has dairy in it)!
