Some of the best creations are born of indecisiveness... A couple weeks ago, I shared with you that we were in the midst of a massive blizzard and half the city was completely shut down. With that, I was home from work and the kids were out of school. The weather always influences my kitchen … Continue reading Paleo Churro Chocolate Chip Cookies -GF, DF
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.

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.

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.

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.
