Chocolate CHUNK Cookies
There are some things in my kitchen I try to never run out of: Eggs, butter and chocolate. I guess it had to happen sometime though... I was in the middle of mixing up "I Love These Chocolate Chip Cookies" and... GASP! I was horrified to find that there was not...
I Love These Chocololate Chip Cookies
"I never thought I'd say this, but I LOVE these gluten-free Chocolate Chip Cookies!" I am so relieved and happy to be able to say that. I'm telling you, it's not all "sugar and spice" creating recipes. You see, I have been arm-wrestling with different Chocolate...

In all the world I think there is nothing better than eating, a still-warm-from-the-oven bowl of Best Berry Crisp! But what if there was also a Fresh Apricot-Peach Crisp or my other favorite, Cherry Pie Crisp... oh my gosh! Now THAT would be "Fruit Crisp Heaven!"...
Almost Guilt-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies
What I want right NOW is a bite of a deliciously "warm from the oven" Chocolate Chip Cookie. I want my cookie to be generously loaded with chocolate chips, slightly chewy in the center, yet buttery crisp on the outside edges. Now that is what Chocolate Chip Cookie...
Vanilla Chia Pudding
I simply adore Vanilla Chia Pudding; but you might be wondering, "What is chia pudding like?" So thoughtful of you to ask... Vanilla Chia Pudding has yummy little gelatinous bubbles in it that are very similar in texture and flavor to a creamy Tapioca Pudding. ...
Very Vanilla Cupcakes ~ Gluten (Dairy) Free
"These are the best cupcakes I have ever had in my entire life and you can quote me on that!" That's what my wheat-eating friend said AFTER he ate the gluten and dairy-free version of my Very Vanilla Cupcakes! However, BEFORE he took a bite of a Very Vanilla...
Cake Impossible: Why Do My Cakes Fall?
