When I was at the Farmer’s Market, I was on a serious mission– a squash mission! Do I want kobocha squash? Spaghetti squash? Sweet Dumpling squash? Butternut squash? One of the stands generously had cooked samples of the squash their farm offered. I reached out for the first perfect slice […]

This is a WHOLE30 compliant recipe and a great pick-me-up snack!
