I just love that the website is called FITSUGAR. No such thing as Fit Sugar!
Keri, thanks for sharing. I'm posting it on my Pinterest.
Quinoa reminds me of the Bud Light commercial where the football fan says, "What's QUEENO?"
"Tastes like a dirty ol' tree branch..."
"What is that, a loofa?" "It's a Queeno!"
