Gummy Legos!

I cannot take credit for this recipe. My husband found it on thekingofrandom.com, an awesome website full of fun science projects and household hacks. I will not be modifying the steps much, as the King of Random’s version is tried and true. He’s rather scientific about these things, dontcha know.   Pour your gelatin and jell-o…

No-Milk Chocolate Ice Cream

I have not been able to find an ice cream substitute that I like. I mean, they’re all OK, but nothing to write home about. And then my mom brought some dairy-free chocolate ice cream to a birthday party once, I had a bite, and I HAD to get her recipe. It’s SUUUUPER easy, creamy,…

PB Chocolate Bathed Cookies

I LOOOOVE these cookies. I can’t stop eating them!!! To make these gluten-free cookies, refer to my Chocolate Bathed Cookies recipe for the cookie dough. Then refer back to this post for the peanut butter portion.     Drop round balls onto parchment paper or a cookie sheet and make an impression with your thumb.   Scoop a…

Chocolate Bathed Cookies

These meltingly delicious double-chocolate cookies are so good, your gluten-free friends will want to marry you. The recipe is pretty simple. All you do is substitute ordinary flour with almond flour, butter with coconut oil, and sugar with coconut sugar. It’s grain-free, low sugar, high protein, high fiber, and gluten-free. And it tastes like a…

Watermelon Jell-o

Try this recipe to bump your party up a notch. Truth be told, I found another version of this in alcohol form called “watermelon shots” where you put vodka in the batch. But this is a kid-friendly, non-alcoholic recipe. Be sure and check out my Jello Floats! They are sooooo good, and so easy, and so…

Grandma Jean’s Gingersnaps

Look at that gorgeous cookie! And if you were in my house right now you’d smell all the smells of the Christmas kitchen. It is no wonder my husband gets nostalgic for his Grandma Jean’s gingersnaps every year at Christmas time, so of course I did him the honor of baking up a batch this year,…

Christmas Gummies

This is a great activity to do with the kids (or with grandkids…) at Christmas–or any time of year. It’s easy, fun, and yum yum yum! The first thing you need for this fun little food project are some Christmas clay cutters. You can get clay cutters at any major craft store. Michael’s usually has the Christmas…

Naughty Coconut Bites

When Santa asks if you’ve been naughty or nice this year, you’ll be tempted to tell him you have been naughty because these are so decadent. But Santa will know the truth. He always does. And the truth is, these are not actually naughty at all. They just taste like it. They are naturally sweetened and healthier than any…

Nutella Granola Bars

With all the preservatives, sugars, and additives in our kids’ snacks these days, it’s nice to be able to offer something yummy that’s wholesome too. This recipe makes a filling snack, and it will put a smile on your kids’ faces. It’s still got some sugar, but significantly less than what you’ll find in an ordinary granola bar. Plus…

Cho-coconut Cookies

Eating chocolate chip cookies doesn’t have to be such a sin anymore. All you do for these cookies is replace the butter with the same amount of coconut oil for whatever chocolate chip cookie recipe you are using. You’ll not only have a delicious confection, but you’ll also be able to eat it with less guilt….
