To test the theory, I made a quick pumpkin butter glaze by heating up pumpkin, coconut sugar and spices and then I slathered it on the salmon. The result?

Where has Halloween been all my life? It’s officially my favorite holiday. Except it’s not a holiday. Why is that by the way? Why isn’t Halloween a national holiday? Growing up in New Zealand and Australia, Halloween was never really a big deal. I mean we do have parties and candy on sale and etc., but costumes and trick-or-treating were never a big part in that culture. And that happens to be my favorite part!...

Line an 8×8″ baking sheet with aluminum foil and then grease the lined pan with butter. Set aside. In a large, heat-safe bowl, combine the Rice Krispies, Teddy Grahams, 1 cup mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips....

It’s great to make in bulk and keep in your fridge and adds so much flavor!...
