What desserts are always present at your family’s gatherings?
In my family, there’s always both Apple Pie and Pumpkin Pie at Thanksgiving, and always, always chocolate pie at Christmas…several, actually. One with nuts, two without 😉
…With plenty of whipped cream for engulfing the whole slice.
I’ve mentioned in past recipe posts that I’m all about embracing traditional family dishes, but have slowly over the years made my way through each and every one of them, adapting the recipes to different dietary needs along the way.
There are multiple people in my family who have to watch their sugar, be mindful of their carb intake, etc. so taking a classic family favorite and turning it into a version everyone could eat was a major win.
And you guys…this pie…is an absolute pleasure!
A creamy, rich, sweet chocolate filling is settled atop a perfectly nutty and crunchy crust (think a grain-free version of graham cracker crust), generating a perfect bite each and every time.

Election Day.
Today is a nerve-wracking day for everyone. You may feel your fate lives outside of yourself. Is that really true?
Rather than allowing ourselves to get carried away with fear and anxiety, our energy is best served turning inward.
What can I do to improve my well-being today?
Is there something I can do to help someone?
What is really, truly important when I zoom out?
A few simple questions and some deep breathing may be all it takes to bring ourselves back to peace and to recognize: life is a journey, and it doesn’t need to be controlled.
Surrender isn’t for the weak. It’s for the courageous. When we allow life to be as it is, we’re receptive to its lessons. If we try to resist, that which we resist persists.
So we can take a collective moment, you and me, to take a deep breath, exhale out our need for control, really take a look around and find something beautiful we can appreciate.
You are your own leader.
And streusel topping always improves a muffin. Always. That is a fact.
So if you’re game for another pumpkin treat, if you’re like me and you stress-bake-and-share, I’m here for you.
Let us bake.
