Baking Away the Social Anxiety
Baking: not cancelled. Birthdays: not cancelled. Time with loved ones: not cancelled. It’s times like this we need to celebrate what we have…and see the bright side of social distancing – more time to spend with our families, forced rest and relaxation and an opportunity to get creative with some good old-fashioned homemade fun.

It’s also a sly way to sneak in some carrots and can be slathered on your morning bagel or used as a healthy-ish frosting for Halloween treats. Read on to get the dEATs for how magically easy it is to create this crafty concoction.
