There is nothing quite like bringing back our favorite recipes as the seasons change. The familiar smells and nostalgia are intoxicating. This is a recipe we make every fall and winter. It's quick and easy and delicious! We like to eat it for breakfast with some eggs and bacon or some green juice, but it makes a delicious dessert as well. 

Truth be told, one of my favorite parts about this recipe is that it is incredibly forgiving and versatile! My throw in this and that and some of that style of cooking shines here. Below, you'll find a rough estimate of how much of each ingredient I use, but feel free to use your hands as measuring cups and taste as a guide. Hey, go crazy and add your own ingredients!
