There are so many delicious things out there right now. All those yummy holiday treats have the potential of getting the better of us and pulling us down that road of temptation and away from our goals of healthy living.
Luckily there are so many great options for dishes that are on the healthier side using things that are in season right now. And I’m not just talking about pumpkin. I’m actually a huge fan of pumpkin. I love it in all it’s forms, but you’d be surprised how many other options are out there as well.
