A couple of weeks back my sister asked me if I had a good paleo/ gluten-free recipe for cinnamon rolls. She wanted to make a batch for Christmas morning while visiting my mother’s house. Our whole family is gluten intolerant. While I have managed to replicate most of my favorite recipes from my childhood into […]

The decades of scientific misdirection and advertising dollars by the sugar industry has left us with a legacy of a one thousand percent increase in diseases like cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, heart […]
