Greetings!
I don't know about you... but I am ready for fall! The last week of August is a great time to begin enjoying pumpkin smoothies, right? ;)
Every August, I always have to remind myself that it is not fall,
yet.... even though Michael's has had the fall decor out for a month! Yesterday I went to my favorite store, and learned that they are already selling
Christmas decor!
Crazy...
Anyways, I just learned about a fall recipe contest that my beloved nutrition school, Integrative Nutrition is having!
25 entries will be selected to publish in their fall recipe ebook! This summer, my
Tropical Mango Banana Sherbert was featured on the Integrative Nutrition blog! Naturally, I am excited at the chance to submit a fall recipe!
