You know how certain situations just feel as if they’ve been that way forever? I mean, I can’t even recall what our lives were like before we had Elsie and Chaser. The first time I visited New York City, I felt totally at home, and knew I’d be back often. With some of my blogging […]

Raw S’Mores (Grain Free, Vegan, Candida-Diet Friendly)
From what I can tell, S’mores are the quintessential “camp” food. What child hasn’t eaten a gooey S’mores bar?
