I forgot how good these were

Hi Reader, When you were a kid, did you turn your pajamas inside out when you wanted to have a snow day? I’m really not sure why we felt those two things would be related. We were somehow sending a message to the universe by showing it the insides of our sleepwear. But I’ve decided to take that same type of logic and hope that if we do lots of baking with pumpkin, then fall weather will finally come to Texas. 🙏 Let’s show the universe our open cans of pumpkin and maybe the weather will dip below 90 degrees. By the way, I tried pumpkin cold foam at Starbucks for the first time last week and it was GOOD. Unsurprisingly, it had way more sugar than I’d like in something that’s not supposed to be dessert. Starbucks also loses points for the 30+ grams of sugar in its pumpkin muffin! Totally fine for an occasional treat, but I prefer my homemade pumpkin muffin recipe with much less added sugar. Kinda forgot how much I love these! Fall baking is really the best. I wait all year for the cozy vibes. Check out all of my fall favorites in one place, below!

What I'm Loving for Fall Let’s all pretend it’s officially fall already, P.S. Last week I shared this study that found that saline nasal drops (or spray) actually can shorten the duration of a cold. I linked my favorite nasal spray, but someone kindly noted that the study uses saline with a higher salt concentration, like this one! Disclaimer: this message contains affiliate links.

Hi Reader, You’re at the grocery store when your kid tosses a box of granola bars into the cart. “Can we get these?” You pick up the box, flip it over, and start scanning the label. Is this actually a decent snack? What am I even supposed to be looking for? If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a food label trying to decide whether something is a good choice, I’ve got 3 easy tricks for you. (Actually I deeply obsessed over what are the three absolute easiest things to remember — because...
Hi , I got an email last week asking about the avocado oil scandal that broke out this summer, and yes, we need to talk about it! A study came out that asked something I thought we could take for granted: Is your avocado oil actually avocado oil? Apparently not. A new 2026 study found that 89% of packaged foods tested that were marketed as containing avocado oil failed authenticity testing. That means some products may contain cheaper substitute oils instead of the avocado oil you’re paying...
Hi Reader, Have you noticed how many foods are suddenly advertising that they're “seed oil free”? I’m even seeing restaurants promoting that they are seed oil free. But does that actually make their food healthier? Not necessarily. And in some cases, it might be the opposite. What's the fear about seed oils? Seed oils like canola, soybean, and sunflower oil have gotten a bad reputation, largely because of claims that their omega-6 fatty acids cause inflammation. But research in humans...
