November is around the corner which means Thanksgiving will be here sooner than we know it! Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays of the year because there is an endless array of delicious foods that you only get to eat once a year, and this year I’m making this delicious cranberry and orange sauce …
My favorite part of the day is waking up early in the morning and heading straight to the kitchen to make my coffee and breakfast. I love mixing it up every morning with either something savory (like these creamy scrambled duck eggs) or sweet! I’ve recently found a new love for quinoa and I can’t …
