Pumpkin Ice Cream Torte
Hearty Oats and Grains
Here we will post weekly recipes, workouts, and articles to help you on your journey to a healthier lifestyle.
Happy Thanksgiving everybody! This week I provided you with two recipes: one for breakfast and one for dessert. You may be so stressed out about the turkey, your sides, and the bread that you may forget about other meals or the sweetest part of the entire ordeal! The breakfast recipe is easily assembled and thrown into the slower cooker so you can wake up early, prepare it, and let everyone eat when they finally wake up. The dessert is a pumpkin ice cream torte, which looks fancy but is easy to make! Click on the words below for the recipes.
