Soft and Chewy Gluten-Free Granola Bars
Are you a chewy or crunchy granola bar lover? Well, if chewy is your jam then you will love these! Conventional store-bought granola (energy) bars can be very unhealthy and it’s frustrating to me that most people think they’re making a healthy snack choice. Do you want to know exactly what you’re fueling your body with? Simple answer…make your […]

Baked Plantain Chips
