Hey hey,  it’s the weekend! I couldn’t be more excited as we finally get our new couch that we have been eyeing since we moved into our new house in May! And secondly, the Kansas City Chiefs are in the playoffs and we have our second game this afternoon; which means tailgate food is a must!

Beyond football, I am dying to make a few of this weeks menu items; such as the Sweet Potato and Black Bean Quinoa Bowls! There is not one thing I don’t like so its a sure winner. And the Healthy Cashew Butter Cookie Dough Bark? There may not be enough to go around!
