Friday is National Coffee Day so this week I’ll be sharing some of our favorite coffee-based recipes. I’m personally not much of a coffee-drinker but I really do like cooking and baking with it.
Read MoreGluten-Free, Dairy-Free Pecan Lace Cookies
Autumn is by far the best smelling time of year. The air is crisp and full of scents like apple cider, cloves, cinnamon, oranges, brown sugar, and of course toasted pecans! It smells good enough to eat.
Read MoreGluten-Free, Vegan Fruit Salsa
I’ve never been a fan of hot and humid weather, betting suits, or the lake days that Summer inevitably brings, but what I do love about this season is all the fresh fruit! Berries, peaches, mangoes, cherries, apricots…I could go on and on. The colors alone are FABULOUS!
Read MoreGluten-Free, Dairy-Free Mini Pizza Dough Cinnamon Buns
Cinnamon Buns are one of my favorite breakfast items! Well it doesn’t have to be breakfast, I will take them anytime of day or night. This shortcut version for mini cinnamon buns is one I used often while at uni.

Read MoreGluten-Free, Dairy-Free Apple Sharlotka Cake
I made this once for fun, but quickly realized how delicious it was and now it’s my go-to for an easy and insanely good sweet treat. Something a little different but with the comfort of apples, cinnamon, and sweet batter. But in a upside-down sort of way.

One of the best things about summer is the fresh produce, like these fabulous Georgia Peaches! As soon as I get those fuzzy, ripe peaches in my hands, my mind whirls with all their potential—crumbles, pies, galettes, tarts, popsicles, scones, ice cream, salad…the list goes on and on!
Read MoreGluten-Free, Dairy-Free Coconut Macaroons
It’s so exciting that coconut products are popping up everywhere now—coconut flour, coconut sugar, coconut water, coconut shampoo, etc, because I’ve always been a lover of all things coconut! My dad used to drill into coconuts for me to drain the water from. It’s great the water is more readily available now without the trouble of power tools. Though I could never resist scooping out and eating the sweet, fibrous insides of this tropical dry drupe. Mmm!
Read MoreGluten-Free, Dairy-Free Thumbprint Cookies
Mother’s Day is just around the corner. It’s May 14th FYI! And the one thing no mother can resist is “homemade with love” goodies! Buttery without butter. Shortbready without bread. These are the perfect bite size cookie to satisfy your sweet tooth this Spring.
Read MoreGluten-Free, Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting
Did you all know there is a difference between frosting and icing? I’ve always used them interchangeably, but apparently they are actually different. Icing is traditionally “thinner and glossier” and tastes more sugary while frosting is “thicker and fluffier.” The more you know, right?

There is a reason cookies are the perfect dessert for any occasion. They come in tons of shapes, sizes, flavors—you name it! I’m sure there are people out there who don’t like them, but 1. I’ve never met them, and 2. That may be a friendship deal-breaker.

When your boyfriend prefers cookies over cakes, you make a cookie cake for this birthday! We usually head to the mall to pick one up, but this year I wanted to serve something everyone could enjoy—a giant gluten-free, dairy-free version of America’s favorite cookie!
Read MoreGluten-Free, Dairy-Free Chocolate-Dipped Potato Chips
We went to a party once where they had chocolate dipped potato chips and remember thinking “that’s odd.” But then I tried them. End of story.

Happy Pi Day! Or in this case, Pie Day! Did you know that PIE backwards looks like is 314 (like 3.14) which is pi! I was freaking out earlier when my boyfriend told me. What a cool coincidence! Just another reason to make and eat actually pie today, not that I needed an excuse. :)
Read MoreGluten-Free, Dairy-Free Bourbon-Soaked Bread Pudding
I’ve got two facts for you today. No. 1: Did you know that "Mardi Gras" is “Fat Tuesday” in French? It was surprising to me that not many people made that connection so I thought I would share. No. 2: The number one most wasted household food item...
