Shortbread Thank you Cookies

Shortbread ‘Thank you’ Cookies {vegan, GF}

I’ve read a lot online in the past two weeks; I’m sure you have, too. There’s been a lot going on. I refer, of course, to the pandemic. My son is now on extended leave from school, because his teachers need extra time to focus on creating an online curriculum. In the meantime, I’ve created…

Easy 30-minute Choc Chip Cookie Bars {vegan, gf}

First up, I can’t lay claim to this recipe; at least not to the original. That belongs to another member of the ‘Aquafaba (Vegan Meringues – Hits and Misses)’ group on Facebook. She posted a photo of some very wholesome looking biscuits, but it was the mix of gluten-free flours that got me hooked. I…

Raw Peanut Butter & Oatmeal Cookies

Deprivation. Nasty little word, that. None of us like to feel deprived. If it feels like a deprivation, we will resist, and this is the reason diets don’t work. If we see clean eating as a punishment, we are far less likely to stick with it. Like many have said before, the only way to…

Salted Dark Chocolate Cookies {gf}

  Yikes! It’s 2016, and already I’m behind the eight-ball! This summer I had every intention of posting dozens of salad recipes, icy poles and ice creams, but alas, I barely had time to make Christmas gifts, let alone test new recipes. One gets caught up in the busy-ness of the season and before you…

Choc-Chilli Brownie Cookies

“The greatest marriages are built on teamwork. A mutual respect, a healthy dose of admiration, and a never-ending portion of love and grace.” ~Fawn Weaver It’s not often your friend gets married on your birthday. (Yes, my birthday. The big 4-0!) And we got invited. But it’s not like we live in the same state,…

Orange, Oat and Cardamom Cookies {aka The Perfect Dunking Biscuit}

Baby, it’s cold outside! A huge storm came through the other night and threatened to tear the roof off! We had toys still outside, and clothes on the washing line, and I was convinced nothing would be there in the morning. Thankfully, I was wrong. The air is washed clean and I can even see some…

Chocolate Oatmeal No-bake Cookies

Let’s get one thing straight. These cookies are healthy. What could be healthier than a combination of dark chocolate, oats, coconut oil, shredded coconut and marshmallows… oh, yeah… them…. sugar-laden confectionary… Oh, well, these marshmallows didn’t have any artificial colours or flavours, so they’ll do. My tastebuds have carried memories of these for a good many…
