Cinnamon.  

A powerful and magical little spice that has been used medicinally around the world for thousands of years.

It’s a spice a adore during the Winter months and thankfully, an approved food on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP).

Seriously.  What can’t this little gem of spice do!

I’m talking all about alkalising foods at the moment.

What the hell are you talking about? I hear you ask . . .

Are you starting, or thinking about starting the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) yourself? 

Or perhaps on the lookout for a dairy free milk substitute?

Florentines.  As a child, no other biscuit made me feel more like a gown up than this one did.  Typically stuffed full of glace cherries, nuts, sugar and chocolate, they were my biscuit of choice when I wanted to impress (and I got to scoff all the leftovers).  Win/win.

When I said goodbye to the white stuff a few years ago, I also tearfully said au revoir to the super sweet florentine.

And then the angels sang. As inside the pages of the I Quit Sugar Chocolate Cookbook Volume II, this little Superfood Florentine recipe jumped out and waved it's little muscly arms at me.  Oh sweet Lord.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!
