We use food to satisfy. We use food for nutrition. We use food to celebrate. We use food to honor.
When a life is brought into this world and when a life leaves this world, we bring food to others’ tables.
Creating a beneficial relationship with food changes us. Food is one of the biggest parts of life because it sustains life. Food is medicine. Lovingly preparing food to soothe and nourish others is a wonderful gift. This simple snack recipe happens to be well-loved by children and adults alike.
