Cherrybrook Kitchen Cookies

I have been looking for these cookies for quite some time now, and I finally found them at Whole Foods yesterday. Cherrybrook Kitchen has many baking mixes that are gluten free and allergen free, and now they have a variety of cookies. I had a hard time deciding which flavor to purchase. The flavors include: chocolate chip, fudge brownie, snickerdoodle, and vanilla graham. Only two are gluten free. I choose vanilla graham, and I was not disappointed. The cute little cookies are full of graham flavor and a touch of vanilla and cinnamon. I also like that they are fairly low in sugar...only 8 grams for 6 cookies. They remind me of some of the cookies I ate when I was a kid. I can't believe they don't have gluten, dairy, or eggs in them. I can't wait to try the other flavors! These are definitely the perfect treat for everyone including vegans and those with food allergies.

Lucky Me!

After a long day at work, I was so excited to find a package waiting for me at home. I opened it up, and it was the cookbook I won over on April's blog Gluten Hates Me But I am Surviving! The Easy Summer Food cookbook is awesome and has beautiful pictures. All the recipes look fantastic. April also threw in some surprises: some green teas and a super soft Puffins shirt. Thank you April! I love all my goodies.

I am going to let you all choose the first recipe that I try out of this cookbook. Which one would you like to see the most?

Lemon Cake with Vanilla Syrup and Strawberries
Mozzarella Baked Tomatoes
Asian Barbecue Sauce

Cupcake Fun




Just some cupcake decorating fun to share with you all. I felt like getting creative frosting these cupcakes, and played with some fun ideas. They didn't turn out too bad, but they are definitely not even close to my sister's decorating skills. I have a long way to go.
