Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches

August 1, 2019

Hot Summer days call for a chilled, creamy childhood favorite! I love how simple ice cream cookie sandwiches are to make. You do have to have some patience to allow the ice cream to set back once it’s sandwiched in the cookies, but the cookies are simple as you just adjust a simple boxed cake mix. Less time baking and more time munching!

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Coconut Macaroons

May 31, 2017

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!

Hi, I'm Shalan! Studioist.co is my journal devoted to adventures, creativity, recipes, and my husband LeBraun and I's semi-nomadic lifestyle. I spend most of my days wondering how to combine my two loves, traveling and illustrations. The rest of my time I spend trying to create awesome gluten-free, dairy-free recipes. I want this to be a place of inspiration and encouragement as well as a fun place to spend your time. And yes, sometimes it gets messy, but I wouldn't have it any other way.
