I love Thanksgiving food. But I don't love sugars and grains. And I especially hate gluten. It sure does seem like most Thanksgiving foods are gluten and sugar bombs. So what's a low carber to do? Say screw it and binge? Or miss out on all the yummy foods as you watch … [Read more...]
Pumpkin Seed Brittle
