Quick and Healthy Holiday Gifts

It’s fairly inevitable that each holiday season I am desperately looking for a last minute gift for a teacher, school bus driver, or neighbor.  I absolutely detest giving candy, flowers, or lotions so I always try to make treats for the holidays that won’t totally wreck everyone’s diet.  Or at least I can go to […] >> READ MORE

Break the sugar cycle
