This has happened to me more than enough times, I crave a piece of cake!  Not the entire thing! Sometimes we ladies, and i’m sure men too, want just a piece of cake… but end up going to the grocery store, seeing the price of the one slices and end up buying a whole cake… because its cheaper… then we feel like we have to eat it cause we bought it.  And then the guilt comes as they are usually filled with processed junk and sugar… and then more bad eating habits can arise… for the rest of…

  Spring is upon us, and there is no better time than now to get cracking on making some healthy ‘take with you’ snacks.  Which is my specialty.  I love making healthy on the go snacks that travel well for our very short spring and summer here in Alberta.  And one that I always have with me is my Apple Pie Granola.
