Here is a drink for the adults. Warm apple cider by the fire is great, but if you need a little kick add some bourbon

Michaell at Foodscape is in agreement with me and has created a softer gluten-free chocolate chip cookie.

Some of these energy bites just don’t sound healthy, not that I’m complaining. Although, when you think about what you crave when you are hungry, the names seem just about right. I’m all about the easy snack or quick breakfast and love either a smoothie or energy bites. Of course I would much prefer a cinnamon roll, but I’m trying … Read More ...

It is just a wonderful combination, especially when you use … Read More ...
