All you can eat! Free!


Who doesn't love a deal? Getting something for nothing always seems like a good plan, especially to a natural frugalista like me. What could be wrong with getting something for free? 

But think of the buy-one-get-one-free deals. Well, that just means that it's 50% off and you end up with more. That's good, right?

If there is one skill I possess, it’s having the ability to take my chances in the kitchen and shrug it off if it doesn’t work out. I'm not always lucky, but my protein muffin was stumbled upon by grabbing random items. Today's recipe was born in much the same way.

It’s hard to describe these treats. Are they "a dessert?" Well, perhaps. Wait. Yes.  Are they bread-like? Yes, actually.

"Yeah, I'm Ace"

Due to the fact that our new kitten, Ace has had a couple of  bed-wetting incidents (TMI!) we decided to consult an animal behaviorist to examine and treat problem (yes, really, we did.)
