Fall is here… and I am here for it!

One of my favorite things about fall, besides big sweaters, warm boots, fires, and soups is all of the yummy seasonal produce. We are talking lots of pumpkin, winter squashes, and hearty kale! Above that, I love amping up foods that are grounding and warming, which usually means fatty and delicious!

Maple Bacon makes everything better!

Bacon is one of my favorite warming/grounding foods and it levels up just about every dish to flavor heaven. Combine it with my all time favorite fall food, Kabocha Squash, and I am beyond in.

What is Kabocha Squash?

Kabocha squash is a winter squash, sometimes called Japanese pumpkin. It’s super hearty, tastes amazing, and is kind of like a combination between traditional pumpkin and something really, really delicious! Make sure you are careful when you are cutting the squash as it can be challenging. I also recommending saving your seeds and roasting them with some cinnamon, sea salt, and coconut oil…YUM!
