If you’re heading to a holiday party this year, there’s a good chance someone will bring along the box of Thin Mints they felt obligated to purchase from a colleague’s little Girl Scout, or that they perhaps had to buy…
I’ve been on a mission this month to create some deliciously holiday baking that is actually nutritious, especially for anyone who’s heading off to family dinners but chooses not to partake in the butter/sugar/gluten extravaganza of a typical holiday dessert…

It must be holiday party season: the basket of baking supplies is coming out in the FTGU kitchen (and I’m rather excited)! We have a number of gatherings coming in the next week or two, so I’m putting together the…
