Last week I posted about the fresh Low-Sugar Strawberry Jam I’ve been making. I gave you several ideas on how to use it and here is another. The most decadent idea of all. Brownies. My Gluten-Free & Vegan Fudge Brownies are the perfect pairing with strawberry jam. There’s just […]

  Isn’t summer wonderful? Once we got over our rainy, late spring, we have been having really nice weather here in Minnesota. One of the main reasons, besides the weather, that I love summer is for the food. Produce in particular. Strawberries are amazing right now and I found some […]
