The last couple of months I’ve been busy making delicious recipes from blogs I follow. I’m a HUGE believer…
Read MoreRECIPE: Raw Salted Caramel Kale Chips
I have a confession to make. Sometimes I buy products for inspiration – to recreate a delicious treat or an even cleaner, simpler beauty product. This week it was all about kale chips. It has been a LONG time since I’ve made kale chips – usually when I’m craving them, I don’t have the patience to whip…
Read MoreRECIPE: Dehydrated Cinnamon Banana Chips
I’m always trying to get creative with some of Willow’s favorite snacks and lately, bananas are her favorite. She is extremely finicky with texture, so getting foods just right can be tricky.
