Peanut butter and chocolate are a classic flavor combination. I love combining them together to make flavor-filled gluten free peanut butter chocolate chunk cookies. In an effort to create a healthier cookie for us to enjoy, I started tossing together ingredients and ended up with a delicious peanut butter chocolate chunk cookie with healthy ingredients. The problem? I didn’t record what I did, so I set off to recreate the cookies. One of these days, I’ll remember to write things down as I make the cookies. It will make my life much easier especially when someone asks for the cookie…

Gluten Free Cherry Cheesecake
Posted in Gluten Free, and Homemaking
D decided that he’d really like to have some cheesecake, so I threw together this quick no-bake version for him. I simply used a package of broken gluten free arrowroot cookies that crumbled in the blender and some melted butter to create the crust. I then whipped together a cup of heavy whipping cream, a block of softened cream cheese, 1/3 to 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 2 Tbsp maraschino cherry syrup (out of jar or homemade), and 1 tsp pure vanilla extract to create the cheesecake filling. I topped the cheesecake with mini chocolate chips and maraschino cherries before…
I decided that I wanted a slightly different cake for my birthday. Cheesecake sounded good, but a regular cake also sounded good. I thought it would be tasty to combine the two. I started off with a gluten free Betty Crocker devil’s food cake mix and baked it as normal in a round cake pan. While the cake cooled, I made up a modified cream cheese frosting. Since I wanted it to be more like cheesecake, I did not make it as sweet. “Cheesecake” Frosting 1 stick butter (salted) 1 block cream cheese 1 cup powered sugar 1/2 cup heavy…
