Pumpkin pancakes
I’ve tried all the logical solutions; showering just leaves me colder, driving around with heat blasting is only economically feasible for so many miles, and making a warm comforting breakfast only really works when you’re not trying to blog about it… 20 minutes of fussing…
Hazel Walnut Butter

Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Pasta Salad
Yum Salad. That’s what my mom suggested we call this one. We both could not stop eating it … I think it’s the saltiness of the black olives mixed with the heartiness of the roasted red peppers mixed with the creaminess of an excellent-quality…
