We’ve been making all kinds of goodies this week including this amazing pumpkin hot chocolate! It tastes like pumpkin pie in a mug. It’s a great way to warm up on a cold day! Even though it’s been warm, we still enjoyed this pumpkin hot chocolate with some snickerdoodle pumpkin loaf. So good together! We…

Roasted Zucchini & Hamburger
