Valentine's Day has always, always been another excuse to make desserts and spread some love around work, the kids' schools, the neighborhood, and, of course, at home. I know it's one of those holidays that you either love or you don't... I get it. Single, married, happily involved, or just loving your crazy cat lady life, I … Continue reading Raspberry Dark Chocolate Coconut Clusters- GF, DF, Paleo, Vegan
I know a lot of people turn their nose up at No-Bake Cookies, listing how they're simple and not a product of "real baking," but not this girl. This girl loves any snack or dessert that involves chocolate, peanut butter, and shredded coconut coming together to form a delicious balance of sweet and salty perfection … Continue reading Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies – GF & DF
I hope that you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday season with family and friends. I have been a little MIA myself over the past couple weeks doing the same (eating too much and drinking a tad more wine than is probably recommended...ha!), but I am back in the game and ready to share some seriously … Continue reading Classic Chocolate Chip Cookies
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is to bake, decorate, and (of course) eat sugar cookies with the family. It is simply not Christmas without decorated sugar cookies. As far back as I can remember, we have always done this each and every year, and it the one thing the kids truly enjoy making during … Continue reading Frosted Almond Sugar Cookies
For as long as I can remember, molasses cookies have been a delicious part of our family's holiday traditions. My sweet, sweet Grams made an incredibly soft, perfectly spiced cookie with a simple powdered sugar glaze. In my adult life, I only successfully made her recipe twice. She was one of those amazingly talented old … Continue reading Spiced Molasses Cookies- Paleo
It's the most wonderful time of the year... cue the classic Andy Williams song and cozy up with a warm peppermint mocha. Thanksgiving is officially over and I'm brimming full of Christmas cheer. My mind is working overtime trying to plan all things Christmas. Gifts to buy, holiday parties to attend, treats to make for … Continue reading Cranberry Dark Chocolate Pecan Oatmeal Cookies
Call me crazy, call me cliche, but there is something that is honest-to-god decadently comforting about chocolate. While my palate's preferences vary vastly from season to season, chocolate is ALWAYS A THING in my world. Summer, spring, winter, and fall, chocolate knows no limits when it comes to satisfying the sweet tooth for this girl. … Continue reading Dark Chocolate & Toasted Pecan Cookies
Anytime I get the opportunity to use the word "breakfast" and the word "cookie" in the same sentence, I get a little more excited than I probably should. It is no secret that I have a sweet tooth, but since overhauling my diet I have really tried to limit my intake of refined sugars. Going … Continue reading Healthy Breakfast Oatmeal Cookies 2 Ways
Once upon a time, in my pre-Celiac life, I made these brownies that were literally To.Die.For. I am not even lying or exaggerating a tiny bit. Promise. These brownies were everything a person could want in an indulgent dessert. A fudgy, decadently rich chocolate brownie, slightly under-baked, and sprinkled with toasted walnuts and pink Himalayan … Continue reading Double Chocolate Salted Walnut Brookies
When the temperatures start to drop and the leaves start to fall, my baking mind always drifts to pumpkin. I have a feeling that this largely has to do with the very short window of time that pumpkin is actually a thing in my world. From late August through early December, bring on the pumpkin. … Continue reading Apple Pie Snickerdoodle Muffies
