I was recently watching The Best Thing I Ever Ate… on the Food Network, the Breakfast Food episode where Aaron Sanchez was eating these little fried puffed pancakes dunked in warm maple syrup…I […]

I think I’m in love…since being gluten and grain free one of the things I miss is a crunchy, sweet and slightly chewy granola. I like to have some texture in my fruit and yogurt, smoothies and occasional frozen dessert…my “go-to” topping is usually toasted macadamia nuts (which are wonderful too!) but sometimes I have a hankering for a […]

I love dessert, I eat it everyday at around 3 o’clock in the afternoon, it’s the best part of my day. Most days it’s just berries and whipped cream or yogurt, an apple with almond butter or a frozen smoothie, but several times a month I like to make something really decadent. I am always […]
