Pear Shaped Fall Cookies
Pear and pecan mixed together can create a wonderful fall weather treat. Add a hint of pumpkin pie spice and you have the perfect combination for a delicious Fall cookie that will warm hearts and please the kids. A quick note: I bake gluten-free, and often use special flours that are less than common. I have found some flours that can be exchanged cup for cup, which is a rare treat. If you are following my recipe, feel free to use regular flour in the same measurements. Cup for cup flour exchange is so awesome and works out great for recipes that I have had for a long time, dearly love,…

Tasty Gluten-free Cookies On Sunday Afternoon
Today I felt the need for a fun snack. Something with chocolate. Something chewy. Something to satisfy my sweet-tooth. For me this is always a frustrating moment, because I can’t just eat any sweet treat. It has to be gluten-free, or I become a very sick girl. The quest is on, then, for something yummy and delicious, …AND gluten-free. This is harder than it sounds, because most gluten-free foods, whether processed or ‘home-made’ are not as tasty as foods made with wheat flour. However, I will say that things are looking better. There are some amazing new gluten-free products hitting the markets, as well as bakeries and stores completely dedicated…
