Karrie
Karrie I have been making lots of items from this cookbook and love it! My daughter turns one this week and to meet all the dietary needs for her party I need to make dairy free, peanut free, gluten free, soy free and refined sugar free recipes. Thankfully that is no longer an issue! I made coconut joy squares, strawberry chia squares and rosemary omega bites! All delicious and wrapped and ready to go in the freezer. Thank you for always providing wonderful recipes, cannot wait to try more!
