I am a HUGE fan of everything bagels. I used to eat one every single day. I wanted to come up with an easy seasoning blend that I could make in bulk and use in a variety of recipes. Think biscuits, avocado toast, baked onto chicken, salmon, baked potatoes etc. You could even turn your…
Homemade Hemp Seed Milk
I love all kinds of plant based milks. I didn’t start drinking them because I had a lactose or dairy intolerance but because I was curious about all the other milk options out there. I couldn’t believe that the first 25 years of my life I consumed only milk that came from a cow. I’ve…
