I read Jennie’s story on Friday night while I sat relaxing on the couch with Kevin after a ridiculously long day. Halfway through, tears started trickling down my cheeks. Upon leaving a comment and looking over at Kevin with eyes of adoration, I closed my laptop and cuddled up to him. Instead of running around…

Snickerdoodle Quinoa Flake Bake

I asked my followers on Facebook a couple of weeks ago what quinoa flake bake flavor I should come up with next.

Okay, think of how long it took you to make your last apple pie with a homemade crust. If you’ve never made a home baked apple pie, I totally understand why. Now, divide that by 5. The result? Upside Down Apple Pinwheel Cake. It tastes very similar to apple pie, but I didn’t have to…

Double Chocolate Crunch Quinoa Flake Bake

Double Chocolate Crunch Quinoa Flake Bake

I feel like the box should say: DANGER contains chocolate. When Alina at Enjoy Life told me they were sending me a couple of their new allergy-friendly chocolate products, I jumped for joy, then quickly started planning a recipe.
