Easy Recipes and Advice for Gluten Free Folk


"Ours not to reason why, ours but to do and die." Alfred Lord Tennyson

Having a gluten free house is just a way of life for us. I am willing to do whatever it takes to ensure my son (and my husband) is healthy and thriving. I don't care about sacrifices or inconvenience when I get to see the wonderful, rambunctious boy being wonderful and rambunctious. I wondered if we would ever get to see him be that way. We thank the wonderful heavens every day for this boy and as stewards of this amazing creature we will do absolutely anything for him. Nothing is too hard.

Peanut Butter Cookies with Chocolate Kisses

I have used the chocolate kisses with the easy recipe that I posted previously for peanut butter cookies. But this cookie recipe that I've adapted has a better texture.

1/2 c butter softened  (I alternate with butter-flavored shortening depending on what I have on hand)
1/2 c peanut butter (I use chunky)
3/4 c brown sugar
1/4 c sugar
1 egg
1 t vanilla
1/4 t salt
2/3 c each  of 3 different gf flours (I use white rice flour, tapioca flour, and cornstarch.)
1 small package of vanilla pudding
1 t baking soda
3 T sugar
40 chocolate kisses, unwrapped.
In mixing bowl, beat together butter, peanut butter, sugars, egg, vanilla and salt until light and fluffy. Add flour, vanilla, and soda; mixing until thoroughly blended. Shade dough into 40-45 balls. Roll balls in 3 T sugar. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes or until light golden. Immediately top each cook with a candy kiss. Press down till cookie spreads out but doesn't separate. Remove from cookie sheet and put on rack to cool.
