So far I've made peanut butter jelly, lemon and coconut and ginger and chocolate flavour. This is the first time I've used almond meal and the texture came out beautiful. This is a great recipe to share with … Continue reading Chocolate Orange Thumbprint Cookies

A lot of supermarket brand granolas are very high in sugars, and although … Continue reading Christmas Spiced Nutty Granola with Cranberries and Dark Chocolate Chips
