Sunday Fall Favorite Recipes

Who doesn't enjoy a beautiful fall day like we are having here in Massachusetts! There isn't anything better on a Sunday in the fall like going outside for a nature walk in the morning, then coming home to bake and make some yummy healthy treats to eat during the week.

Up this week for a little meal prep:

Pumpkin Banana Chocolate Chip Cookies & Butternut Squash Soup

Once brought to a boil, remove from pot and place into blender – add salt, pepper and nutmeg
