Mug Brownie

When I’m craving chocolate desserts late at night, this is one of my favorites. I’ve also reduced the sugar so you don’t have to feel too bad about cake before bed. In fact, you an add some sugar and decide to feel good about that too! I use gluten free flour, but you could use

Spiced Acorn Squash Muffins

These are my new favorite muffins! I started with a recipe I found online and added lots of extra spices and some allergy friendly modifications. You could use butternut squash too, but I like the nuttiness of acorn squash. This is also a great way to use pumpkin puree! These are not too sweet, so
