Looking for a way to stop the sugar rush before it starts? I came up with this recipe in an attempt to stop the sugar rush so my kids can be their naturally sweet selves. It’s chock full of ingredients that have been shown to slow sugar absorption such as whole grains, fiber, healthy fat, and cinnamon. It’s not only delicious and healthy, but it really helps to balance their blood sugar so I’m not dealing with four hyper kids!
If life gives you lemons make lemonade.
And if Spring gives you snow….make a sundae!
A pure, natural treat with just fresh snow, strawberries and maple syrup.
So easy, the kids can do it themselves.

This adorable farm has stone walls, two big friendly work horses leaning their heads over the fence for the kids to pet and a picture perfect sleigh parked against the barn.
