Fall has arrived, and many of us are looking forward to spending time in our warm kitchens, making our favorite seasonal treats for ourselves and our loved ones.  Flavors like pumpkin, sweet potato, cranberry, and warm spices all make us feel cozier as the temperature gets lower the nights get darker.

Sativa Remedy has got some delicious recipes that are perfect for this celebrated time of year.  Of course, in our eyes, no recipe is complete without using some CBD oil.  Yes, CBD oil offers a particularly tasty and seasonal way to get in that daily serving of hemp while treating yourself to something incredibly appetizing.
