And what if I promised it would leave you and your friends and family feeling better…
I am so excited to share this unique Acorn Squash Flatbread recipe with you! As I kid, I loved Summer.

I love to test new recipes in my cabin kitchen when I have a weekend off from the Clean & Colorful Kitchen. Today is chilly and snowy outside.
