Almond Cranberry and Pistachio Cookies (Gluten-free & Vegan)

Almond Cranberry and Pistachio Cookies I hope you've all had a relaxing holiday. Did you indulge in some yummy food and treats?

Healthy Rhubarb Crumble Bars

I prefer eating my fruit raw and cold; however, rhubarb is one of those fruit (a vegetable, actually!) that you can’t eat any other way apart from cooked…so I thought why not give it a try. It’s so deliciously tart and not too sweet. In fact, I only used 2 tbsp sweetener in the filling and it was just right! Traditional recipes use anywhere between ½ and 1 cup of sugar for the filling alone!
