I was craving my chicken and carrot salad and thought it would be a little boring to simply serve it on slices of bread. That’s how I got the idea to make some homemade flatbreads from scratch. And since the chicken and carrot salad is already a protein-packed meal, I didn’t want […]

Apple Cinnamon Waffles – Easy, No Added Sugar Recipe
Since I had my waffle maker right there, it was only a matter of time before I got around to my favorite fall combination: apples and cinnamon. 😋 This recipe actually came about while I was testing all sorts of waffle variations and trying to figure out what else I could add […]
