Gluten-Free/Vegan Gingerbread Men Cookies
Gingerbread Men are so 2011. This Christmas, gingerbread is coming in Ninja form: They shall be named NINJABREAD MEN! Have a seat, friends, we need to talk. Have you been feeling down this holiday season because you are gluten-free? Have you felt that pang in your heart as you have had to pass the plate of...
Vegan Cranberry Cheese Crumble
Julia Child said to never apologize for what you put on the table for your guests. Always smile and never give away that you made a mistake. Chances are, they will never know anyway… I’m breaking her rule right now by admitting that as I attempted to duplicate Brooke’s Cranberry Bars, I wanted to make them fancy...
Vegan Cream Cheese & Date Roll Ups
When Brooke sent me this recipe to convert into a gluten, egg, and dairy-free treat, I had never heard of such a thing. A concept completely new to me: a date stuffed with pecans, rolled into a cream cheese dough, baked and then dusted with powdered sugar. I had absolutely no idea of what to...
Gluten-free & Vegan Chocolate Chip Cookies
I’m late for the 12 Days of Christmas Treats with Brooke at Crackers on the Couch! My schedule has quickly become busy because I finally got a job. Hooray! But sorry for the delay… I’m a day behind but I will catch up–I promise. In the meantime, check out these cookies over at Brooke’s place....
12 Gluten, Egg, & Dairy-free Christmas Cookies
Last year, I teamed up with Brooke over at Crackers on the Couch and de-glutenized and veganized her amazing 12 Days Collection of Christmas Cookies. It was such a fun experience that her and I are back at it again this Christmas. Just in case you missed it, here is the original collection {and don’t...
An Armor of Peanut Butter Cookies
Working with obstacles is life’s journey. The warrior is always coming up against dragons. Of course the warrior gets scared, particularly before the battle. It’s frightening. But with a shaky tender heart the warrior realizes that he or she is just about to step into the unknown, and then goes forth to meet the dragon....
Cookie Dough Ice Cream, yo
I imagine the idea of creating an ice cream flavor full of cookie dough came from a little kid who, while eating an ice cream cone, went to scoop out a finger-full of his mom’s homemade cookie dough, only to find a piece of it plopped down onto his cone. Bothered at first, he looked down...
Easy Homemade Chipwiches
Yesterday I spent my morning at a local coffee shop, reading and sipping my favorite caffeinated beverage. Okay, that was a long, round-about way to describe coffee. So there I was, drinking coffee when an older man approached me where I was sitting. As he stood above me he explained to me that he had...
Gluten-free Trefoil Cookies
Today is monumental. It is one of those lessons of tenancity and perseverance. It is a life moment of realizing that I am a slave to the kitchen. No wait, that isn’t right. It is a life moment of realizing that you can do anything that you put your mind to. What taught me this? The Trefoil Girl...
Gluten-free Do-Si-Do Cookies
I think I have only another day or so left in me for this Girl Scout cookie extravaganza. Funny how when you are told you can never have something again because it makes you sick, you crave it all the more. It’s almost as if you create this dreamworld in your mind of what said...
Gluten-free Thin Mints
Happy Ash Wednesday, everybody! Today is one of the most meaningful days of the year for me. The introductory day that ushers us into the Lenten season. Oh Lent. I heart Lent. I’m not really sure when and why Lent became such a special time for me, but it has become a tradition that I genuinely...
