It broke my heart when we walked by the Girl Scouts selling cookies this year. It has never been an issue in the past, but now that Lexie is almost 7, I see the disappointment in her eyes when sherealizes that they are not gluten free. The sweet little girl she is says, “Mom, we should get some for Cassie, because she really likes them.” I respond, “Lexie, that probably wouldn’t be fair since you can’t eat them too.” Lexie in her sweet little voice, “That’s okay mom, you can just make me some that are gluten free.” Being the sucker I am, oh, I mean the good mom that I am, I told her I would.
Gingerbread houses are a tradition in my family. I started making this a tradition when my first born, Gracie, was nearly 2 years old. I can still remember the innocence she had as she placed each candy onto the house, not in any particular place for any rhyme or reason. When the kids were young I had to be very careful about when I told them we were going to do the houses. If I wasn’t careful I would pay the consequences of hearing constant nagging and whining until I just would drop everything to get them started.
This Christmas celebration we bring to you a traditional German Christmas Cookie, Lebkuchen Cookies. Actually, it is referred to as a biscuit, but we americans refer to it as a cookie. Lebkuchen cookies come in different flavors and shapes, most common the shape being brown and uses spices like citron, cloves, cinnamon, anise seed, walnuts, almonds, raisins, and candied fruit.
If the cookie dough makes it to the oven, this recipe make delicious cookies! I confess, I had cookie dough for dinner tonight, and I loved every bite of it. The cookie dough tastes just like a brownie with a mint flavoring to it, each bite causing my tastebuds to scream out for more. It definately makes a delicious treat even if you don’t bake them.
This time of year our gardens are inundated with abundance of Rhubarb. I have to be honest until today, I have never even tasted Rhubarb. That summer I moved into my house my neighbor was trying to get me to take hers and do something with it. Not knowing what to do with it, I declined. She later ripped her plant out and made room for daisies.
Tis the Season for Holiday Baking. This time of year I love baking cookies. Gingerbread cookies are always at the top of the baking list. Christmas isn’t Christmas without Gingerbread cookies. Enjoy this easy to make and oh so delicious recipe. Your family and friends will eat them as quick as you make them. GFM Tip: I don’t have the patience for decorating these with faces and cute outfits like my mother in law so diligently does each year.

Rice Krispies Treats are one of the quintessential treats of childhood. The crispy crunch with the gooey melted marshmallow holding it all together scream childhood as you lick your sticky fingers after the last bite. When we found out our son couldn’t have gluten almost ten years ago my husband suggested we make a Rice Krispies treat “cake” for his upcoming 3rd birthday. After reading the ingredients on the box I was heartbroken to see malt barley listed as one of the ingredients. I thought “Rice Krispies treats are out too? Why do they have to add the malt barley?” A few years later they came out with a gluten free version. We rejoiced. Rice Krispies became a staple in...
