Chickpea Almond Tuna – Vegan & Gluten Free
I love me some tuna salad! If not in a sandwich, I love putting a scoop of tuna alongside my salad – so good! But these days, I’m not eating as much fish. And tuna is especially problematic because of the high levels of mercury in it. Sad but true. But who says you have […]

GF Chia Seeds Meet Homemade Granola Bars
