What kind of chicken sausage do you use?
christina.klapper says
Great question! I used the trader Joe's apple chicken sausage but I also really like Aidells Chicken and Apple Sausage as well!

Jamie says
Would maple syrup be a good substitute for honey when making dinner with babies under one? Also, what’s a good natural sweetener for honey for people cutting out all added sugars?
christina.klapper says
Hey Jamie!
Yes, maple syrup is great for babies under 1! Honey is a natural sweetener as is maple syrup, they are both refined sugar free but they are still both considered “added sugars” when adding them in recipes. The only thing you could potentially use for natural sweetness are dates 🙂 hope that helps!
