Meet-up & Sweet Potato Protein Cookies

Hi everyone! Long time no chat Hope your December is off to a beautiful start. The weather here in Austin has been pretty crazy, so I can’t say it feels much like the holidays, but trying to make the best of it. So where to begin.. so much has been going on, but at the same time I’m in this crazy limbo.. lots of potentially exciting things are up in the air, and only time will tell how it will all play out.
