As mentioned earlier in the week, I’m in the midst of the eight day Passover challenge. Keeping Passover has always been a challenge but now trying to manage Gabby’s allergies and keep Passover is REALLY difficult. Last night I made a meal that I was rather proud of.

Drew has turned into the human garbage disposal overnight. I think the kid may eat me out of house and home. So I decided to make some cookies he could snack on. And of course they had to be Gabby friendly too. I came across this recipe in a magazine and thought I could easily modify it to be good […]
