It's been a while, a long while... my most sincere apologies. The truth is, I have been busy, lazy and generally uncommitted to healthy cooking as of late. However, I am re-motivated and delighted to be back in action as summer approaches. Even more inspiring, my father recently told me that he gives out my blog to his friends and colleagues frequently and some of them have noticed nothing new!!! Yikes! Wouldn't want to let my biggest fan's fans down, so here we go again!
This little delight is amazing. It packs a lot of flavor without the calories, gluten or carbs. I try to stay away from "sugar free" items because I feel cruddy after eating all those chemicals, but I think combining it with coconut milk makes it feel like a comfort food. I also like these because you can throw them in mason jars or other sealable containers and take them on a hike, to the zoo, camping etc. without spoiling.
