For the cream cheese frosting:

•  3 ounces cream cheese softened
•  1/4 cup butter softened
•  1 1/2 cups confectioner’s sugar
•  1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
•  1 tablespoon milk more if you like a thin frosting

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
2. Unroll sheet dough into one large rectangle. Spread pumpkin butter evenly over the dough. Evenly sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon over the pumpkin butter.
3. Starting with short side of the rectangle, roll up into a log. Using string, dental floss, or a serrated knife, cut the roll into 10 slices. Place slices, cut side down, in a greased 8 x 8 baking dish.
4. Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cinnamon rolls cool in pan for 5 minutes.
5. While the cinnamon rolls are cooling, make the cream cheese frosting. In a medium bowl, stir together cream cheese and butter until smooth. Whisk in the confectioner's sugar, vanilla, and milk. If the frosting is still too thick, add a little more milk and whisk until smooth.
6. Spread frosting over cinnamon rolls and serve!

Zuppa Toscana Soup (Whole 30): 
Recipe credit - whole30-zuppa-toscana

• 2 tbsp. organic beef tallow or ghee
• 1 lb. Italian sausage, casings removed
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced (Use my favorite garlic press to speed things up!)
• 1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
• 1 tsp. crushed red pepper, or more to taste if you’re brave!
• 6 c. chicken broth (homemade, or try this organic free range, lower sodium chicken broth)
• 7 medium red potatoes (about 2.5–3 lbs.), coarsely chopped (and unpeeled, if you choose!)
• 5 oz. fresh kale, chopped. Frozen works fine, too.
• 13.5 oz. can full fat coconut milk (My recipe originally called for only 8 oz. of coconut milk. I changed it to the full 13.5 oz. can because it is creamier this way! It does give it the very slightest hint of coconut. If you want to avoid the hint of coconut, lower it to 8 oz.)
• Salt and pepper, to taste

1. In a large stock pot or Dutch Oven, melt the beef tallow. Read my update above on how to get healthy, organic kitchen staples online at reasonable prices. Add the Italian sausage and cook on medium-high heat for 5-7 minutes until browned. Add the onion, Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper. Saute 3 minutes. Add the garlic. Stir for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth and potatoes. Bring your soup to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 10 minutes. Add the kale and coconut milk and simmer an additional 5 minutes until potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork and kale is tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
