Comments
Hi Chip,
When taste buds are used to eating sugar, fat and refined flours, healthy snacks often don't taste "good". On the other hand, I have to tell you, my daughter made some healthy cookies last week and they became treats for their pet bird. She had made them before and they were delicious. This time she used molasses instead of honey and no one liked them.
