Chewy Chocolate Chip Hazelnut Cookies (Gluten-free and Paleo!)

I think this may be my favorite recipe that came of my cookie cooking binge! Chewy chocolate chip hazelnut…how can you resist?!? The addition of mini chocolate chips and chopped toasted hazelnuts to my chewy almond cookie base makes a cookie that is slightly thicker, soft, and chewy. The mini chocolate chips give a fantastic […]

I hope you’re not sick of cookies yet, because I’m on a roll! These next two tweaks are my favorite. (I always like to save the best for last…even when I’m eating!) For today’s tweak, I took my chewy almond cookie base and turned it into a spiced molasses cookie.

Ok folks, here’s the next installment of my almond cookie dough base! Instead of chewy almond cookies, these are little cookie bites that have a bit more of a cake texture, but very similar to their larger counterparts.

I went gluten-free a year and a half ago (along with some other dietary restrictions) on the request of my rheumatologist as a way of naturally reducing some of my body’s inflammatory response (gotta love autoimmune disease!). Although I haven’t had a miraculous recovery (don’t I wish), I have definitely seen many benefits. For […]

I love dishes that combine lots of little bits of everything. I get this love from my dad, whose style of cooking is to go into the kitchen and grab whatever he can find to create something to eat, whether it’s a sandwich, a salad, or what he calls “potage.” I recently received a “Fall Harvest […]

I fell in love with kale salads a couple of years ago and have yet to get over my crush. I know kale may be yesterday’s news, but gosh darn it, I don’t care! So here’s another kale salad to add to the top of the Mt. Everest-sized pile of kale salad recipes that have […]

May 1st, the day the Empire State building officially opened 83 years ago, the day the movie Citizen Kane premiered 73 years ago, the day the first KMART store opened 52 years ago, and the day Elvis Presley married Priscilla Ann Beaulieu 47 years ago, among many other events—who knew today was such an important […]

If you had told me 6 months ago that a chocolate dessert that was free of gluten, dairy, and refined sugars could be as decadent as its gluten, dairy, and refined sugar full counterpart, I would have politely nodded and totally not have believed you. But in the past few months I have taken my preconceived […]

Have you ever had a dish that just sounds good, and so you go through a streak where you eat it all the time? Pad Thai has been that dish for me lately. I’ve been making it once a week for the past month. It has just been hitting the spot! If you’re not already […]
