Since eating clean I have learned to make many sweet treats without sugar. Instead, I use natural sweeteners like fruit, no sugar added preserves, maple syrup, honey, molasses, or stevia. I can honestly say, most of the time I don’t miss the sugar. However, about once a week I have a cheat day and will […]

She served this at my sister’s bridal shower, and it was truly love at first bite. I think I asked her 3 times before the shower […]

I love cinnamon so I really liked them, but I knew they were really good when my husband enthusiastically approved. He […]
