Holiday Chip Chocolate Oat Cookies (gluten-free!)

December 13, 2012 by Melissa

Dear Santa, If you hadn’t noticed, my apartment is totally void of furniture. Remember when you granted my Christmas wish last year and Steve got that job? And we sold all of our furniture on Craigslist so we could run away and start over? We had the best intentions of making our stay in this apartment as short as possible.

Healthier Cranberry Bliss Bars

December 4, 2012 by Melissa

Here you go!   With this lightened-up version, I won’t ever feel that need to test the waters (don't hold me to that though). Plus, I’m pretty sure that for … [Read more...]
