\u00a0Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n

I have embarked on the 30 Before 30 adventure (see the tab to see my updates), and it’s been a great challenge to fit in these little goals in between a hectic season at work and in life. \ud83d\ude42 But it’s happening!<\/p>\n

And there’s nothing more comforting, home-y and delightful on cold winter days and nights than apple treats. I have 2 for you today, and they’re not my original recipes but * of course * I modified them a little for you. One is TOO EASY, a dessert, can be made with FOUR ingredients, and is great for your family or a last-minute dinner party. The second is hearty, healthy and really delicious (ignore the word BRAN, one of the ugliest words in the English language, ha). This can be a breakfast food, snack or dessert and freezes beautifully for keeping on hand. Let’s bake!<\/p>\n
