A Warm, Sweet Treat on a Winter’s Day

Posted on December 28, 2011 by Samantha Peris | 4 Comments

It is hard to believe fall has come and gone, and winter has most definitely reached The Rockies!

By Katherine Feeney You never know when he’s going to appear. He arrives suddenly and unexpectedly, causes pain, a foggy brain, low energy, poor judgment and cravings galore. This, my friends, is the Snack Attack. To fight the Snack Attack we must be prepared at all times with awesome snacks (store bought cookies and muffins won’t do). If we feed…
