Only ten more days until Christmas! That always comes so quickly. I’m getting close to being ready. But there is still plenty to do. And despite my fatigue and focus problems from my thyroid I’m going to try my best to stay on top of things and plan ahead this week. That means baking, shopping, …
Meal Plans Week of 12-8-13

Gluten Free Dairy Free "Cheese" Crackers (egg free, nut free, rice free, corn free)
