For those of you that know me (I feel like too many of my posts start like that) know that pumpkin flavored everything is my LIFE. But the holidays can always been such a rough time for me mainly because some of my favorite foods don’t necessarily mix well with my stomach. When family gets together and they make their signature fall or holiday dishes, it most likely will always include gluten or a copious amount of dairy (especially for desserts which are my favorite). So I decided to start and compile some lists based off recipes I have found online, that give some great alternatives to some fall/holiday classics. Today I decided to start with all things Pumpkin to honor the start of the spooky szn today! Since I am no chef when it comes to creating things from scratch, this is simply a way to condense some great paleo items into one category so I will also be linking the original recipes from online! ENJOY!
