When I discovered that some of my health problems were due to a wheat allergy – I have to admit I found it really difficult to come to terms with the fact that I would no longer be able to eat bread. Having people comment, ‘What? Go without bread? I could never do that! I just…
Coconut Milk Yogurt – Recipe One
I really love coconut milk yogurt – but I really don’t like the price tag. Or the additives.
