These large flourless peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are easy to make as the ingredient list is short. Kids will have fun helping make these naturally gluten free cookies. Plus, there is something fun about having giant cookies. This recipe makes roughly 18 large cookies. You can use m&ms if you want to add more playfulness and color to the cookies. For adults, add in some chopped nuts and chocolate chunks instead of just using chocolate chips. If you use natural peanut butter, you may find that you need to add a little extra oil like coconut oil. I like to…

Gluten Free Strawberry Shortcake
Posted in Gluten Free, Homemaking, and Photography
We finally found some delicious, well-priced strawberries at the store which means it’s time for the first strawberry shortcake of the season. This year, I decided that I would sprinkle vanilla coconut sugar on the strawberries instead of regular sugar. We all enjoyed that extra punch of flavor the vanilla sugar added to the strawberries.

Salty ~ Sweet ~ Crunchy While it may sound a little odd, chocolate popcorn is really good, and it’s easy to make. For this batch, I made a tasty dark chocolate popcorn. I did use a higher quality chocolate as I wanted it to be special for our Valentine’s Day treat. I like the bitterness of dark chocolate mixed with the salty, crunchy popcorn.

Munchkin isn’t a big dark…

They you place them in a paper bag that has a coconut sugar and cinnamon mixture and give it a good shake to coat the chips. Yum! If you want to make them a little extra special, use some homemade vanilla sugar in your cinnamon sugar mix. These taste really good served with fresh fruit salsa as…
