There is a light at the end of the tunnel after all, Spring has arrived! In this seasonal transition period, we often practice a little something called “spring-cleaning.” With an urge to purge the clutter, we let go of the cold winter season and gain a sense of renewal. Nobody said it was easy to let go of your glory days, bell bottom pants or your most comfortable, tattered college sweatshirt. Thankfully we are providing you with this healthy, gluten-free Carrotini recipe, to help you cleanse. It’ll give you a spring in your step as you sort through the must keep and gotta go piles.
