Hey Friends! How’s it goin? Happy New Year’s Eve! Right now, I’m hopefully running around like a headless chicken doing last minute things for all the deadlines I put of this month.

Hey Friends! How’s it goin? A couple months ago I bought a food processor. I had grand ideas of making amazing things in my food processor: dips, sauces, soups, doughs, nut butters and of course black bean brownies.
