Gluten Free Sugar Cookie Recipe

Posted in Gluten Free

I was in the mood for some sugar cookies, but I didn’t have all of my normal sugar cookie ingredients. I decided to wing it and started throwing things together. The result was a light, thin cookie that had a crisp exterior and chewy interior. The cookies were a big hit, and they disappeared very quickly. Unfortunately, I forgot to write down all the substitutions that I made, so I was then tasked with trying to recreate the cookie.

I have to admit that I wish this spiral slicer came in red as the green just doesn’t fit with my kitchen, but that’s just a personal preference. The unit itself is well thought out. I did run…

Canning with AYL® Silicone Gloves

Posted in Reviews

I really like my silicone oven mitts, but they don’t work as well for tasks that require me to grab something smaller. Right now, I’m doing a lot of canning, so I needed something that would allow me to safely turn the knobs on my pressure canner as well as grab jars, if necessary. Since my silicone oven mitts worked for the heat aspect (just not the small detail aspect), I knew that I wanted to test out some silicone gloves. I was happy to receive the AYL® silicone gloves to test out in my kitchen. The AYL® silicone gloves are heat resistant…
