I love brownies. But I don’t always love gluten-free brownies. That said, my family and friends taste-tested a lot of brownies until we got this one right. Below is the winner.
We love this recipe because it’s protein-rich with healthy fats, so they make a nice snack, not just sugar-laden dessert. The raw cacao also gives that perfect rich chocolatey flavor necessary for the perfect brownie. Enjoy these tasty gluten-free brownies. Continue reading “The End of Bad Gluten-Free Brownies”
It’s hard to believe that it is already that time of year again. Summer is slowly coming to an end and soon flip-flops and bikinis will give way to chunky sweaters and cute boots.
But wait, it’s not time to kiss those tan lines goodbye just yet. If your family is like mine, it seems someone (usually daddy) always has too much fun in the sun. If you’re finding yourself looking in the mirror at your tender, red skin (and kicking yourself for forgetting to apply that third and fourth application of sunscreen), have no fear.
I have a tried and true DIY after sun spray that will have your thirsty skin thanking you in no time.
This spray is super easy, works well, and you may already have the ingredients in your cupboards. Get ready for some post fun in the sun relief!
Yes, it’s seriously that quick and easy!!
And the best part? It smells amaaaaaaazing!!
Following each application, don’t forget to hydrate, hydrate, hydrate. This way you’re healing skin from the outside in and inside out.
