Or actually… Anytime. Anywhere. No equipment needed. No excuses. And while we are at it, even though Thanksgiving may be over and we are on to mocha and peppermint, I am still a fan of pumpkin and enjoy pumpkin pie at Christmas time too. With 7 grams of fiber in one cup of canned pumpkin, […]
Re-working and re-writing this blog post from the original back in 2018. A few have changed since then. Kendall is not having a birthday in 7 days. We are not about to head out on a mission trip and experience some of the most life-changing moments in 7 days. My most recent pancake recipe does […]
