~PATIENCE IS VITAL~

It's cold outside.
HELLO WINTER!

In the winter, over coffee and macaroons; I love to create new  healthy recipes. You can get all the ingredients at COLES or your nearby grocery shops. It's pretty simple to prepare, too. And I feel that this will be a good one to have during the cold days. Have it while it's hot. ENJOY!
