In early October, I flew to Northern California for a bridal shower and a quick visit with my parents. Although I booked a flight that landed later than usual, my mom still picked me up from the airport, but by the time we arrived back at the house, both of us felt tired… And we agreed it was nearly time for bed!

Before heading back to my childhood bedroom, Mom and I chatted for a bit, and I greeted both of their sweet golden retrievers. Once they settled down, I carried my suitcase through the house and collapsed onto my bed to unwind.
 

 
After pulling on PJs and brushing my teeth, I climbed in between the sheets… Only to hop right back out. It was freezing! I forgot just how chilly my parents’ house can be during the fall and winter, so I quietly tiptoed to the hallway to grab an extra blanket.

A few minutes later, I finally felt warm enough… With flannel sheets, a comforter, a fleece blanket, my favorite flannel penguin pajama bottoms, socks, a t-shirt, and an old Winnie the Pooh sweatshirt I dug up in my childhood closet.

I definitely get cold easily… There’s a reason I moved to Southern California!
 

 
The next day, and throughout the entire weekend, I wore socks, fuzzy slippers, and that same green Pooh Bear sweatshirt from Disneyland while inside of their house… And I drank mug after mug of hot chai and herbal tea to stay warm.

However, I truly didn’t mind… It was so nice to have a little break from the heat!

By the time I boarded the plane back to Southern California, my brain and body had gotten used to the chill, and I started craving cozy and comforting wintertime flavors… Especially gingerbread!
 

 
Although it seemed a little strange to eat gingerbread so early in the fall, with the winter holidays still months away, I ended up baking this Healthy Gingerbread Bundt Cake shortly after I returned home. It completely hit the spot!

This healthy gingerbread bundt cake is supremely moist and chock-full of rich spices, exactly the way I love my gingerbread treats to be. It’s also easy to make (no mixer required!), topped with a simple sweet drizzle, and 137 calories per slice!
