One of the reason I love the holiday season so much is the plethora of warm and cozy beverages that are associated with the cooler months. There’s nothing like curling up with a blanket and a cup of hot chocolate or a salted caramel latte to watch a Christmas movie with family. Another favorite holiday […]

Around here, we love replacing some of our former favorite foods that were not-so-good for us with spin offs make with real food ingredients that are good for us.

Chocolate hazelnut spread, better known as Nutella, is extremely popular with both kids and adults. It’s typically eaten with fruits like bananas or strawberries, spread on toast like peanut butter or jam, or just eaten by the spoonful.
