Can I just tell you how much I love fall! EVERYTHING about it is lovely – cool weather, pumpkin lattes, leaves are changing, pumpkin Oreos, mulled cider candles, pumpkin whipped topping, bonfires, pumpkin cheesecake, roasted marshmallows…. did I mention pumpkin?
Anything with pumpkin in it will cause my head to spin. And since I have changed my diet to the Keto lifestyle, these lovely words jumped out of Pinterest and turned my pupils into hearts last month — “Keto Pumpkin Bread”! What in the world??? Pumpkin and Bread and Keto!?!?!?
I know, I know… you are saying, “Linda, it’s 93 degrees outside! How can you think of burning cider candles and eating pumpkin bread right now?”
Well, my dear friend, come on over and I’ll show you! It starts around 6:30am with a nice hot mug of coffee, a slice of this amazing pumpkin bread, my Bible and prayer journal, and a red sherpa blanket (because while it may be 93 degrees outside, it’s fall weather inside my house… always!). Anyone else wear jackets and slippers in the summer because your husband controls the frozen tundra? haha! 🙂
