Meringue Cookies (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Paleo Friendly)

  Yesterday was my oldest child’s birthday, and as usual, he asked for his favorite cake: German Chocolate.  Since I long perfected an “our safe” recipe for this, it was a no brainer how to go about making it happen… But then as I sat and looked at the 6 egg whites that remained after […]

Apple Pie Cookies (Grain-Free, Vegan Option Noted)

The calendar tells us that autumn has arrived! The weather where you live may or may not agree with that.
