I just made mini peanut butter and jelly muffins (sugar-free, dairy-free!) that came out GOOD. Like, I'll actually eat them!

Kate got me a donut maker for my birthday.  This is an incredible day.  Bring on the calories.  (Hey, at least they're ~homemade~ right.  RIGHT?)

And thank you again as I prepare to order 24 lbs of brown rice, 6 boxes of organic cereal bars, 12 jars of salsa verde, 12 bottles of extra light olive oil, 12 canisters of steel cut oats, 12 boxes of Wasa ( Read more... )
