This particular post may bore my non-Christian/religious followers, but today, Ash Wednesday, marks the beginning of Lent and generally the time when most of us former Catholic school girls use this event as excuse to banish sugar in the name of God (… you know you are also guilty!) As far as I remember from … Read more
Snack Attack: Apple PB Sandwiches
Yet again, I found my inspiration on Tumblr. Apple peanut butter sandwiches are the sweeter alternative to ants on a log. I have been sticking to a wheat and dairy free diet, and have also been trying to monitor my sugar and salt intake. I use Whole Food’s 365 unsweetened – no salt peanut butter … Read more
