Guilt Free Brownie with Shaved Barukas Nuts

Uncategorized

This is how my husband and I ring in the new year, with a new gut healthy guilt free treat. What makes this brownie guilt free? The ingredients and the serving size. This recipe only makes 2 brownies. You can eat half and save the other have for another day or share it with a friend.

Blanched Almonds & Almond Milk - known to…

Trials, tribulation, hardship, troubles, problems, bad-times, calamity, etc. Call it whatever you like, it always leads to worry. The worry you're feeling right now, always stems from a fear of the unknown. Once the seed of fear takes root, the buds of worry are guaranteed to blossom. Listen, I can relate. I'm a recovering worrier. I was a wreck. Stressed out and worried about everything. Sleepless nights were my normal. I believed that there was no end to my vicious cycle of worry. Until I was encouraged to replace my worry with worship, by someone whom I greatly admire. I thought singing? Really? Wow, that's a new spin? Don't get me wrong.
