There is something about chai that is just so comforting, especially in the morning when you want to ease gently into your day with some rich, warm flavors. But having to pick chai tea over coffee? Nonsense! Hey, this girl’s got priorities! So I decided to try blending those amazing flavors into a paleo breakfast bar. The result? Coffee and chai are happily co-existing in my life! The chai spice blend used to be a bit of a mystery to me – something magical that came inside a teabag, but it really is quite simple to get those flavors with a few spices that are likely sitting in your cupboard.

Easy Freezer Recipes: French Canadian Baked Beans
My freezer is a magical box. Kinda like those neato food materializer thingees they had on Star Trek that would make any type of food appear on command. Ok, only difference is I had to make the stuff in the freezer myself.
