Good morning! Happy Monday! I hope you had a fabulous weekend!  Breakfast This morning’s breakfast might seem a little random, but you’ve gotta trust me on this one. It was de-lic-ious! Last night, I baked an acorn squash in the oven (45 minutes at 400*F) with coconut oil. This morning, I added some vanilla cake [...]
