NEW! 🎉Pumpkin Enchiladas with Avocado Crema for fall! 🎃🥑

I’ve teamed up with avocadosloveonetoday for these smoky pumpkin enchiladas with a cool avocado crema wrapped into every enchilada and topped with fresh cilantro, jalapeños, pumpkin seeds, and sliced avocado! This is such a cozy and delicious fall meal that I know you’re going to love for the season that’s also a good source of fiber and protein. 💯

Both pumpkins and avocados are a good source of potassium and a third of a medium avocado contains 6 grams of good fats which can act as an immune system booster by helping increase the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Two of which, vitamins A & E are found in pumpkin! 🎃

Avocado and pumpkin are a power pairing for fall that make this recipe extra nutritious and I’m excited to partner with avocadosloveonetoday to give you a chance to win 1 of 6 $500 visa® e-gift cards! 🎉

FLIPPING FOR THESE! 🎃🎉

My pumpkin spin on the viral upside down pastry trend that make for the cutest little pumpkin cheesecakes! 🍂

recipe here!

4 oz. cream cheese
1/3 cup pumpkin puree
1/3 cup confectioners sugar
1 egg
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice or cinnamon
pinch of salt
honey

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Combine all of the ingredients for the pumpkin cheesecake mixture and use a hand mixer to beat until smooth.

Cut the puff pastry into 9 squares per sheet. On a parchment lined baking sheet add about 2 tsp. of honey and then a dollop (about 1 tbsp.) of the pumpkin cheesecake batter. Then top with the puff pastry square and press around the edges with a fork. Repeat with remaining puff pastry and brush with an egg wash (1 egg white). Bake for 15 minutes, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before flipping over. Dust with confectioners' sugar and enjoy!

Fall inspired buddha bowls made with seacusine’s

Fall inspired buddha bowls made with seacusine’s Teriyaki Sesame Salmon, roasted sweet potatoes, brown rice and kale are the perfect busy fall night meal!🎉🍂

I’m such a fan of seacuisine’s Teriyaki Sesame Salmon — which come in a pack of two wild Alaskan salmon filets seasoned with ginger, soy sauce
and red pepper because they’re packed 18g of protein per serving, made with no artificial flavors, and ready in under 20 minutes — a great staple to stash in the freezer and use to build a balanced meal with! 💯

Definitely a meal that will be on repeat for me all season long! Grab the full recipe here👇🏻
