Peanuts is a no go for people that avoid starch in their food. Good thing that there is almond butter too.
Knitting hasn’t really anything to do with cooking. But it IS starch-free.
Remember the bread from a few weeks back? Yeah? Great. Here is a new version of it. Personally I believe it is even better than the last. (And a whole bunch of my guinea pigs thought so too.)
Cold, cold November … full of comfort food. I love it. Sitting on the couch, blanket, tea, watching […]
