I was awake bright and early for my second day of adventure - a downside of moving forward a time zone and still on a work routine.

Traditional school … Continue reading School Days and School Bread

I was quite excited to find a dairy-free substitute and my mind started going in all kinds of directions as to what sort of treat to make with this.
