Cream Puffs

 

Hello All!

It has been fun trying all new recipes and creating some fun and fresh new ideas.

I have been quite disgusted with all the foods you find at the grocery stores lately, so I have been making just about EVERYTHING from scratch.

 

It's amazing how much dyes and additives they put in our foods now!

It's gross and I don't see any benefit in why we need it in our diets.

So, for the next few posts, I will be sharing with you some of the research

 I have been finding on different foods and such.

 

Until then, I hope you enjoy this yummy recipe!

It is now gonna to be in the "Must Have" folder (and fridge)

 

Have a great week!
