Hello ladies. Today I'm sharing with you a magnif recipe passed down by the Health and Fitness Guru, that is my mom. If you're feeling like a detox after seeing some of my somewhat indulgent recipe posts, this one is for you. I'm thinking I should be doing a weekly recipe that's completely HEALTH-Y, tried and tested recipes passed down from my mama that are not only good on the booty but good for your well-being too. Hands up if you're game!
