Oatmeal Chocolate Cranberry Cookies
Yesterday’s big snowstorm really made me crave oatmeal cookies. I found another great GF recipe from Bob’s Red Mill, and changed it a little to include chocolate chips and dried cranberries instead of raisins. If you’re a traditionalist, then you can omit these and use raisins.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups Bob’s Red Mill GF All-Purpose Flour
3 cups GF Rolled Oats

Mushroom Risotto
This risotto is amazing! I found the recipe from AllRecipes.com, and slightly changed it. The recipe is time-intensive and takes about 30-40 minutes prep time, plus 20-30+ minutes cooking time (longer if you live at altitude).
Ingredients
6 cups chicken broth, divided *I used Swanson’s which I confirmed online that it’s GF
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound portobello...

Chocolate chip cookies!
One of my fondest memories growing up is making homemade chocolate chip cookies with my mom and sister. We’d bake up a big batch, and when mom would take a break to catch a few minutes of her favorite soap opera, my sister and I would sneak a few bites of the cookie dough. Sneaky sneaky, tasty tasty!
For both the enjoyment of dough and end-result tasting, I was super psyched to try this...

Chocolate Cake #2 - Success!
Mmmm…chocolate
Last Monday, after the almond flour chocolate cake disaster, I felt motivated to try again. This time I found a simple flourless recipe, consisting of semisweet chocolate, butter, sugar, cocoa powder, eggs, & vanilla extract. I decided against any doubling this time for fear of what happened with the almond flour fiasco. The most complicated part of this recipe is...

Chocolate Cake Part 1
*What the cake should have looked like
My most recent adventure in gluten-free (aka GF) happened 2 weeks ago when I tried to make a double-layer almond flour chocolate cake. Sounds simple enough, however, living at altitude always poses its unique set of baking weirdness (i.e. I’m always increasing baking time by at least 5-30 minutes). I used a recipe from a local chef, Elana Amsterdam,...
