Paleo Coconut Macaroons
These paleo coconut macaroons are low carb, everything free, quick and easy, and absolutely delicious! Crunchy on the outside, chewy and soft inside! My sister and I have started a new tradition here at the ranch. Every Monday, the entire crew works together to pack our beef into boxes to ship nationwide. Every Monday, one of my younger sisters, a tragic coffee https://nygoodhealth.com/product/lexapro/ addict, starts a pot of coffee. Every Monday, many people drink this pot of rather ...
Chocolate Fudge Brownie Gluten Free Cookies
These gluten free cookies taste like a cross between a fudgy brownie and those chewy chocolate cookies you remember! Believe me, you won't be disappointed in these gluten free cookies! I dare you to only eat one! I’m currently living by myself, tragically cast away by my cruel family, left adrift in this world. Actually, it was I who left them. Not that I had any choice. They practically booted me out, saying, “See ya. Don’t let the door hit you on the butt on the way out.” Okay, fine, it ...
Gluten Free and Can Be Paleo No Bake Cookies
These tasty gluten free, can-be-paleo no bake cookies are perfect for everything from parties to your afternoon chocolate fix. :) You can't succeed in life without a no bake cookie recipe. Okay, fine, that might be an exaggeration. But it is true that I was having some serious difficulties without a sugar free no bake cookie recipe. Well, actually, just serious difficulties without an easy sugar free dessert. Because sometimes even I get sick of drowning myself in ...
Flourless Fudge Brownies
I feel so disloyal. You see, I have another brownie recipe. A good brownie recipe. A brownie recipe that I’ve sworn by for at least seven years. A brownie recipe that has never once disappointed. But we were out of flour yesterday. We needed a dessert. (Yes, you heard me. We needed a dessert. This is a basic human right that we’re talking about here). So I had to make dessert. It had to be quick and it had to be flourless. The result? Flourless fudge brownies. I ...
Chocolate Chip Cookies
Gluten-free flours have less “hold” than gluten flours. Obviously. I’ve found that this is a problem in cookie and pie making because all of the butter in the mix just melts all over the place because there’s nothing to hold it together. With my pie crust, I finally got the perfect recipe with cream cheese. Cream cheese is firmer and doesn’t melt as much, so that way I was able to keep the crust firm without compromising that sweet buttery flavor. I was having the same “melt” ...
Chewy Granola Bars
I’ve made so many batches of non paleo, somewhat paleo, and completely paleo granola bars that I'm surprised anyone dared to eat these at all. It isn’t that the former batches were bad. They just…weren’t…good. They had all the granola bar flavor, but none of the “stick-together-ness.” Actually, never mind. I was intending to make breakfast granola every single one of those times. Not granola bars. Crumbly breakfast granola. That’s it. Even though I did perhaps mistakenly call it ...
Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Brownies
I know, I know. This is an unstable dessert. After all, cookie dough (the best thing in the whole wide world) and brownies (the second best thing in the whole wide world) put together? Well, let’s do the math. Best thing in the world + second best thing in the world = the very best thing in the world. Or you can use the general rule: A positive plus a positive equals an even bigger positive. And the best news (besides above math problem): Easy. Anyway, in a nutshell: This recipe ...
Gingerbread House
For the past few years, I've made a gingerbread house each Christmas. Don't lets talk about the first gingerbread house. The only thing that kept THAT one together was a whole ton of cardboard supports inside the house. Don't get me wrong, cardboard supports are great. But it just doesn't feel right unless if your house can stand up on its own four walls. Overall, though, every year I've made a gingerbread house it hasn't been super nice or fancy. Just piled high with candy. This year has ...
Gingersnap Cookies
'I've been making a lot of gingersnaps lately, in order to find which ingredients and measurements would work best for a gingerbread house. This recipe—with a few slight adaptions—will, I think, do the trick. This recipe turned out well for just plain gingersnap cookies as well. Ingredients 1 cup cornstarch (or tapioca starch) 2 cups rice flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 tablespoon ground ginger ½ cup butter, softened ½ cup sugar pinch salt ½ teaspoon cloves 1 ...
Peanut Butter Pecan Bites
Most pecan bite recipes require a cracker or something for the base. But gluten-free crackers are expensive. And anyway, I prefer to bake from scratch. However, if you want to use a cracker, no one's stopping you. Unfortunately, this recipe doesn't quite make the cut for 5 minutes. It took me just a little under 10 minutes to make. But still, a chocolatey pecan bite is only ten minutes away. Makes about eight bites. Ingredients Peanut Butter Layer: ¼ cup peanut butter ¼ ...
Cream Cheese Bars

Author: Linnaea Recipe type: Dessert Cuisine: Cream Cheese Bars Serves: 1 dozen bars Ingredients --Crust Ingredients-- ½ cup cornstarch or potato starch ½ cup rice flour ¼ cup sliced almonds 1 teaspoon xanthan gum ¼ cup sugar ½ teaspoon salt 6 tablespoons butter, melted ...
No-Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars
Girls are known for their love for chocolate. Well, hopefully that's not the only thing we're known for. But anyway, these bars are chocolatey and super-easy to make. They take under five minutes to prepare. When I first made these bars, everyone enjoyed them. And therefore I was doomed to a life of making homemade chocolate peanut butter bars. I've told them that I can teach them how to make these bars. In fact, that's part of the reason I'm writing a recipe. So I can put ...
Sugar Cookies
Sugar Cookies I made these for the Fourth of July, but these are good year-round sugar cookies that you can do whatever you want with.

Gluten Free Oreo Cookies
As I said I might, in the Peppermint Glaze post, I made Oreo cookies today. Sadly, they don't have the cool Oreo cookie stamp on them. Sigh. But other than that, they are real life, through-and-through Oreo cookies. The minute I tasted them, I remembered eating Oreo cookies and fighting over them with a bunch of other five year-olds. Happy memories, right? The funny thing about this recipe is that it has had many adaptions. I got it as a gluten recipe off of another site. That ...
Chocolate Chip Granola Bars
Why haven't I posted one of my illogical patterns of thought before a recipe lately? Because I only think illogically sometimes. And when the illogical spirit is not on me, I have no choice but to post the recipe without. I know, I know. Poor logic really adds to the recipe. Unfortunately, It's easiest to write illogically. If I write about nothing, I have a better chance of writing something. Whereas, if I write about something, I will most likely get nothing. It's ...
Lemon Bars
Want to know something? Don't we all want to know something? Well, we only want to know something if we think we want to know something. Some things are best left unknown. And in other cases we believe we know everything and don't want to hear anything else. But this is getting too deep for me. Do you want to know something? Here it is. Baking is a spectator sport. Why? Usually I have at least one sister breathing down my neck, watching ever move. Why do they ...
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies
The chocolate flavor in these is very light. If you use dark dutch cocoa it makes for darker chocolate cookies and a much deeper chocolate flavor. If you use regular cocoa you will have a peanut butter cookie with a delicious trace of chocolate. If you prefer a very chocolatey cookie, add an extra ½ cup cocoa. It will make for a dark and delicious peanut/chocolate combo. If you can't decide which variation to try, try them both! Ingredients 1 cup sugar ¼ teaspoon salt ½ cup ...
No Bake Cookies
I remember before we discovered we were gluten intolerant, we used to make no-bake cookies. Now, we have them again. The oats can be either whole or quick-cooking; we prefer whole oats in our cookies but I have used quick-cooking ones and they turn out just as well. Ingredients 2 cups white sugar ½ cup butter ½ cup milk 4 tablespoons cocoa powder 3 cups GF oats (I use Quaker oats and we have no reaction, but if you are very sensitive I would advise ...
Gluten-Free Chocolate Cookies
Rich and chocolatey, these have the classic chocolate cookie taste and the perfect consistency. ½ cup butter (1 stick), softened but still cold ¾ cup white granulated sugar 2 eggs 3 tablespoons plain yogurt 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I use super-dark dutch cocoa to make especially rich chocolate cookies) ½ cup oat flour (check for gluten-free) ¼ cup cornstarch (check for gluten-free) 1 tablespoon baking powder ½ teaspoons salt 1 ½ teaspoons ...

Peanut Butter Cookies
These cookies taste like the perfect peanut butter cookie made from wheat, but they are completely gluten-free. You get about 30 cookies out of this batch, so you may want to butter two pans, but I do my batches one at a time.
