Ok, so I am really late posting this but I was asked to introduce the second food challenge for this month and that is to make something from my staple food items. I have Ciliacs Disease which causes my staple foods to be all if not mostly gluten-free. When I was thinking about what to put together with my food items, I thought about a sweet treat that I can just throw together and eat without making any adjustments. I got this recipe from a friend of mine and have to say that it is truly addicting. Everyone can enjoy this sweet treat!
