Christmas Treats with Cindy Flores Martinez
I love to bake, but I often make healthy desserts. Ingredients like coconut oil, coconut palm sugar, oats, all-natural peanut butter, fruit, and even vegetables are all part of my recipes. The other day, I saw a recipe for beet brownies. You use a half cup of cooked beets in the mix. The mere thought […]
Christmas Treats with LeeAnn Sontheimer Murphy

Christmas Treats with Wendy May Andrews
This recipe is a sentimental favorite. My best friend from high school, who was also my first roommate when we moved out together when we were 19, was an amazing cook and baker. Peanut Butter cookies are my favorite so she left me the recipe (along with other favorites) when she moved out to marry […]
Christmas Treats with Karin Beery
Cathedral Windows – A Husband’s Favorite by Karin Beery When it comes to Christmas, my husband is a giant eight year-old. He goes nuts for lights, decorations, and, of course, the cookies.
