Now that September is coming to an end, I can FINALLY fully embrace fall. I snickered when Shipyard Pumpkin was out before my pool closed. I groaned in disgust when all things Halloween and autumn started popping in local stores. But now’s the right time. The weather is fully cooling off, I’ve bought myself some […]
Sweet Potato & Peppers Breakfast Hash

This was originally meant for a breakfast hash, since I always complain about only eating toast, bagels or other refined carbs for a morning meal (shame on me!).

I don’t know about you, but we are finding it IMPOSSIBLE to find organic peanut butter these days. Not at Whole Foods, not at Trader Joe’s, not anywhere. I did find one brand at Hannafords’s but it was a whopping 7 bucks a jar and that just seems crazy to spend on smushed peanuts. It’s […]
