Apple Cinnamon Pancakes | Gluten-Free, Diary-Free

Apple Cinnamon Pancakes | Gluten-Free, Diary-Free

It was a Monday morning and my mental health was already getting the best of me. I was literally curled in a blanket on my beanbag crying over a good weekend that turned bad, and I was now allowing it to trickle into my week. What frustrated me the most was that I was so determined to have a good day and start it off right.

This is all just for fun and to occupy my curious mind. Hope you enjoy this new series!
