It is time to celebrate everything Fall & Harvest. Thanksgiving is a few weeks away, the weather is cooler, boots are a part of our everyday wardrobe, pumpkin spice is everywhere and sweaters are back in the rotation. This is hands down my most favorite time of year.
Speaking of Pumpkin Spice
Pumpkin spice is not just for your lattes or pumpkin bread…it is perfect on veggies and chicken. Yes I said veggies and chicken. I know that may not sound normal or even that good, but it really, really is so good.
It adds a little something extra to make it perfect for Fall. It has just the perfect hint of spice making it the perfect comfort dinner everyone is sure to love.
One Pan & Done
With the Holidays fast approaching life can get so busy and anytime I can cook dinner on one sheet pan I am in 100%. Just clean the veggies, season everything and throw it onto the pan and voila your basically done.
Gotta love it!!
