Chewy Spiced Molasses Cookies

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 have to admit that I shied away from the chia trend for a long time because I couldn’t think or say the word chia without the old 80s jingle of childhood running through my head. “Ch-ch-ch-chia!!” That combined with the disturbing visual of a clay head with green sprouts growing out of its scalp […]

Happy 2015 everyone! I must say that I’m happy to greet the New Year and shoo out the old. The end of 2014 about did me in. The Sunday before Christmas the flu hit me like a wrecking ball, and I’ve been in bed ever since. Have you heard about the mutating influenza strains? Yeah, […]

This post is brought to you by Harmons Grocery. I know, I know, you’re thinking “Gluten free slow cooker pot roast? Rachael, isn’t a pot roast naturally gluten free?” Well yes, and no. It depends on how you make it! If you make your own homemade beef stock without any added thickeners and you don’t […]

Is everyone enjoying spring as much as I am? I’m currently enjoying it even more than usual, because the Fuji family is in Japan for spring break right now, and the cherry blossoms, which are currently in bloom right now here, are one of my all-time favorite things to enjoy in life. I’ll be sharing […]

Today is a special day in my family, for several reasons. It is Pi Day, or when it comes to my mom’s side of the family, Pi(e) Day. (My family is very fond of food celebrations, although International Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day may be the most popular). For the mathematicians of the family, it is the […]

My mom came to visit a few weeks ago from southern California. When she arrived, we met up with my brother and grandmother at The Original Pancake House in Salt Lake City for breakfast. My mom ordered their popular apple pancake—a large eggy pancake (like a Dutch baby) topped with sautéed Granny Smith apples and […]

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 […]
