Gift in a Jar: Walnut Cocoa Brownies {gluten-free}
Last updated on April 8th, 2019 When it comes to gift-giving, I’m all about the homemade kind (as all of our friends who received a set of hand-carved salad spoons, a color-dipped bird’s-eye maple cutting board, or a custom-painted kitchen bakery sign as a wedding gift in the past couple of years can attest to). A sentimental streak passed down from my…
Maple Walnut Bars {gluten-free}
