And as we approach colder weather, we’ll be spending even more time indoors than usual. Enter: the hard-to-kill succulent.

Although we won’t have nearly as many guests over this holiday season, most of us still have the responsibility that is feeding many hungry mouths. After spending all-day cooking on Thanksgiving, your Black Friday breakfast (or brunch) should be quick, simple, and delicious.

The Willamette National Forest is expansive, encompassing eight wilderness areas and seven major volcanic peaks across more than 1.6 million acres of preserved wildlands. It’s a wilderness to rival all wildernesses, with near-untouched terrain that can be explored by bike, boat, car, or foot.
