This is an amazing recipe that is great for the holidays or to give as a gift. As with all the Maximized Living Recipes, it is grainless and sugarless. Not only that, it contains flax which is a great source of Omega 3’s. This recipe is from my friend Lin Hardick who just happens to be my co-author B.J. Hardick’s mom.
