When I came across this recipe, I had no clue which heroine eats these when she’s stressed but decided I had to find one, write her book, and include this!!! That’s when Sade walked past, munching one. We had a conversation about it. She educated me. She also told me that if I’d get off my arse and start back on her book, readers wouldn’t have to wait so long to read about her eating this breakfast treat. Then she admitted to having some in the freezer that she throws in the toaster oven because it has all her favorite stress foods and since she’s getting ready to have it out with Sinjen, she plans on devouring quadruple the recipe amount. Well…alrighty then.Total Time: 20 Min.
