Healthy living isn’t a diet, it’s a lifestyle

Do you know that with a good blender, you can make some of your own flours at home?  That is exactly what I do to make oat flour. I take a cup of gluten-free oats and add to the dry Vitamix cup and blend away, the results my oat flour for this delicious cake cookie recipe, taste like a cake, but it is a cookie.
