I prepared these adorable heart-shaped cinnamon rolls for dessert for our Valentine’s night dinner. As usual I found a super easy recipe online, this time from the Pillsbury website itself! Ingredients: All you need is a can of ready-to-bake cinnamon rolls. Make sure it’s the regular rolls not the mini ones, as reviews seem to […]

I’m a firm believer in the old adage that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and I’d like to share my recipe for a healthy, added-sugar-free breakfast smoothie. This quick and delicious smoothie recipe makes enough for one tall glass, but can easily be doubled for two people. I like to have […]
