DIY Pumpkin Pie Spice

by

Nothing says Fall like the arrival of all things pumpkin from coffee and creamers to muffins, pies, donuts, and just about any dessert you can think of…savory recipes too like soups, sauces, sides, and main dishes. Here’s a quickie little recipe to dive into the pumpkin season. Store bought pumpkin pie spice can be pretty pricy; why not make it yourself with spices you probably have on hand?

 

5 spices, 5 minutes and you’re set for the season!

My Friend Maria’s Keto Café Mocha

by

Here’s a variation of the BulletProof Coffee that is a standard morning fixture for so many keto-ers. My friend Maria recently started keto and we share some of our concoctions; she is not vegan so I adapted her recipe to be dairy free. Try it, you’ll love it!

Here’s what you’ll need…ok, you don’t need a mug with an “S”  but I do love mine (Thanks Ema!)

 

Warm, chocolatey goodness that combines the best of both worlds – coffee + hot cocoa
