Pumpkin Apple Millet Cups

Expectations. They are a funny thing. When set too high, you might get easily disappointed. When they are too low, you might be happily surprised. Or, maybe expectations are met, wherever they are on the spectrum. We expected to have an amazing time at Oktoberfest, as we have every year, and by golly, we did. […]
