gluten-free-boxed-mac-and-cheese

TranslationOkay, so it’s not really “Boxed” Mac and Cheese but “Bagged” Mac and Cheese just sounds weird! I have been making my own “Kraft-like” GF Mac and Cheese for a long time now, mostly because I do not care for the texture of the pasta in the GF store-bought Mac and Cheese.  The other two [...]

Gluten-Free Chex Mix

Translation I realize this is probably a no-brainer, but it actually just dawned on me not too long ago when Sam needed some Chex Mix for his “Friday Fun Snack,” that I could make my own gluten-free version!  So just in case it has not occurred to someone else, I thought I would post the [...]

Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

Happy Valentine’s Day!

Translation I am absolutely thrilled with the outcome of this recipe!
