I’ve been holding out on this recipe for a little while. Mostly, not to be hypocritical. You see, “rolled oats” are one of the ingredients. And. Brace yourself people. “Rolled oats” are not technically a true whole food. They are just a tiny (and not the healthy) part of the true whole grain known as […]

So, these are pretty much my favorite thing this time {and anytime} of year: Spiced Maple Pecans. Why? You can use them in or with so many things-  so it’s a very efficient use of your time in the kitchen, and a lot better for you that rounds and rounds of baking cookies this time of […]
