Pumpkin spice season is upon us! If you adore this flavor combination like I do, you’re going to love my pumpkin spice quinoa. This wholesome breakfast will satisfy your pumpkin spice cravings so you can resist the temptation of a sugar- and chemical-laden latte.

Who knew you could make a creamy, delicious risotto without butter or Parmesan? Not only is this recipe dairy free, it’s also made with whole grain brown rice, which is gluten free, heart healthy and rich in antioxidants.
