I planned to make the always popular cake pops as Valentine’s Day treats for Kate’s daycare class tomorrow, but we recently discovered that one of the kids in her class has an egg allergy, so I had to change my plans. I decided to go a much easier route and make these marshmallow pops instead!
During Week 2 of the Whole Living Challenge I get to add high-quality protein back into my diet, meaning seafood, beans, lentils, and organic tofu—woot!
