Hello fall! I’m obsessed with this side dish. It brings in the amazing flavors of ripe, fall apples and keeps it sweet using cinnamon even with a slightly bitter green. This is super east to make and is packed with nutrients. You will love this one!

I’m not a big dessert person. I would much prefer a salty meal but sometimes even I just need something cold and sweet. I started freezing grapes a few months ago and it’s the perfect after dinner snack. Simple and delicious!

]]> HummusI used to always get store bought hummus and think I was being super healthy. While it’s a great source of protein, there are additives that I can avoid in making the dip myself. I love to experiment with different kinds but the original hummus is always the biggest crowd pleaser. As most hummus lovers do, I pair carrots with the hummus for the perfect healthy and protein packed snack.
