It’s time for snuggling up and twinkling lights, and most importantly, it’s time for baking! The Holidays are my excuse to bake delish treats and not feel too guilty about it.

Let me just say the struggle is real. Life at the moment is rather busy between a toddler (who doesn’t sleep, Oh joy!), work, a traveling husband, and all the other day to day rigmarole. Sugar is my go to fuel right now. Normally I stay away from refined sugar at all costs, but not having slept more than three consecutive hours for a year and a half has driven me to desperation. A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do ya know? So I caved to the sugar high and it continues to dig its powdery meat hooks into me on a daily basis. I have to give it up, but in my exhausted state I’m not prepared to go cold turkey. I need reinforcements! I need a gentle transition! I need healthy tasty treats/substitutions to ease me into this!
