Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking

Time for a tasty treat that works well for breakfast or just a snack. While the biscuits themselves are not really sweet, adding the icing does up the sweetness factor.

Plus, this move requires a more brutal purging process for our household items which means taking a closer look at what we really need. We don’t want to pay to store items we don’t need. We also don’t want to waste our precious overseas weight allowance on “stuff” we don’t really need. Our IKEA Trofast system is one of…
