Is summer almost here? It feels like it, at least, where we live! I’m one of those people that keeps my windows open until it feels like I’m a chocolate chip cookie getting all gooey in the oven. With temperatures well above average here, let’s just say I’ve had chocolate chip cookies on my mind a lot, especially because I’ve given up sugar for the month. First, gluten, now sugar!
(Honestly, until you don’t eat sugar, you don’t know how many things have sugar in them! Salad dressing, lunch meat, bacon, condiments, pretty much every prepared food. It’s really hard to eat things that don’t have sugar!)
I still have a long way to go to get this site updated, and I think that’s interfered with me actually blogging, so I’m sorry that what you get is another Monday link post – yet again – but it’s the best I can do for now… Enjoy!
