Homemade “Nutri-Grain” Bars
posted on November 4, 2009 by
I used to love Nutri-Grain bars, pre-celiac. I miss having something easy to grab for breakfast in the morning, that I actually like. I have tried all the GF cereal bars and while they are okay, they are not the same. I found this recipe and WOW! They taste just like I remember Nutri-Grain bars […]

I made more cupcakes for Luke’s Halloween party at school tomorrow, but I toned it down a bit in the body part category! Two year olds can “spook” easily. 🙂

I made some “spooky” gluten-free cupcakes to send to Sam’s class today and thought I would share what a lot of sugary icing and body parts gummy candy can do! Sam loves Halloween and so do I. This time of year, I just let go and allow myself to be a kid again. To run […]
