Have you discovered almond milk? I love it! It’s a dairy- free, soy-free choice that is great for vegans or anyone wanting to try something new. But, for me, the store bought varieties sometimes leave a lot to be desired. I’m on a low-carb diet and almonds are very low carb so that would seem […]

He was hired to create tiny replicas of Britain’s Royal family painted on almonds and other nuts! Apparently, Casino had previously built a reputation doing miniature portraits on peanuts. He invents toys for a living but one day did […]
