Confession: Me looooove cooooookies (**say in Cookie Monster voice in your head please**). But being a Holistic Nutritionist and all, you know… it could get a little sketchy with the cookie thing. Fortunately, these are cookies that I can support. I mean, sure, there’s still sugar in them, so don’t eat all 12 at once, but they do have a … Read More

Grain-Free Soft Pretzels

I ate the 6th pretzel from this photo. Sorry. These are crazy good, doughy, salty soft pretzels. They’re made with Cassava Flour (I used Otto’s Cassava Flour) aka yuca, a root vegetable, which means they’re grain-free, gluten-free, nut-free and dairy-free.
