Peanut Butter have always been my favorite cookies, but I don’t often eat cookies because my body really doesn’t like wheat. So when I found a recipe for gluten free peanut butter cookies I had to try it. Since then I’ve made these several times. It turns out not only are they gluten free (and…

Gluten Free Banana Chocolate Chip Bread
Here’s another banana bread recipe that’s gluten free, wheat free and grain free. It’s adapted from the Nourished Kitchen Guide to Grain-free, Dairy-free Baking, Sweets and Treats.

Almond Banana Bread (Gluten Free)
This almond flour banana bread is moist and delicious. It’s not only wheat-free, gluten-free, grain-free, but dairy-free as well.

Chocolate Zucchini Cake in a Slow Cooker
We’ve still got an overabundance of zucchini from the garden and while trying to come up with new ways to use it all I stumbled upon baking… in a crock pot. I never would have thought this would work, but I’m so glad it does. With a slow cooker (a.k.a. crock pot) you don’t have…
