My Favorite Chocolate Chip cookies {Gluten & Dairy Free}

Untitled_Artwork.jpg

I read something recently about an idea for a book about a food blogger who admits to murders she had committed in the text of her recipe blog posts. She got away with them all because NO ONE reads that part of the post. They mainly jump to the recipe and call it a day. That being said. I’ll spare you all the details about why I opted to make this recipe gluten and dairy free.

I will share the gluten and dairy free products that I used and liked though! Because they made these taste soo yummy!

Please remember, if you’re doing a side by side taste test, you will be able to taste the difference between the original cookie and the gf/df one, but when you are craving something sweet that won’t hurt your stomach…this is the recipe for you!! Enjoy!!

Almond Joy Coconut Ice Cream Recipe [Dairy Free]

ICE CREAM .png

I made a promise to myself that if I ever blogged recipes, I wouldn’t go into so much detail that it required discussing how my first born child was conceived… because if i’m being honest… I never read what they write on those food blogs anyway. Just show me the dang recipe.

Let me just say. I love ice cream. LOVE LOVE LOVE… but it does NOT love me. So when I was given an ice cream maker for my birthday from my sister, I was pretty pumped to try some dairy free options that weren’t full of all those additives that only bloat my stomach.

I don’t miss anything when I eat this ice cream. It’s completely perfect and I can’t wait to make this again soon. I will link my ice cream maker, just click on the photo <—. Enjoy!

Peppermint Mocha Protein Coffee {gluten & dairy free}

peppermint mocha.png

It’s that time of year again… Peppermint Mocha on tap, but it’s hard when you’re trying to stay Gluten and Dairy free to not spend a small fortune on a drink from Starbucks after you make all your substitutions. I’m going to share with you my secret to make them at home, and to add extra protein!

Okay, let’s start with the protein. I have found a protein powder that I love, isn’t chalky, or gritty, and is gluten and dairy free. Perfect Keto Chocolate Protein is DELICIOUS and blends amazing with anything.

THE RECIPE:

(in a 24oz tumbler)

1 Scoop of Chocolate Perfect Keto Protein
6-8oz Chocolate Almond Milk
Drop of Peppermint Extract
Ice
Iced Coffee of Choice (I like Starbucks Medium Roast)

This could be done using a hand frother, or can also be made in a blender like a frappuchino.

  1. Blend the Protein, drop of peppermint extract & Almond Milk (make sure no clumps)

  2. Add ice, top with Coffee.

  3. Stir and Enjoy.

My Go-To Margarita Mix

IMG_7650.JPG
IMG_7646.JPG

Ryan and I are not big drinkers, but we do enjoy an occasional adult beverage to end the evening after the kids go to bed. And a margarita is my drink of choice, as long as it has good tequila.

I have a very sensitive stomach, so all those store bought margarita mixes that contain preservatives, massive amounts of sugar and ingredients I can’t pronounce would make me feel so miserable. So instead of giving up on finding the perfect margarita, I decided to make my own. Tastes and preferences are all different, so the perfect margarita for me, may not be your ideal… but I’m always happy to share what I love!

Prep time: 5 MCook time: Total time: 5 M

Ingredients:

Margarita Mix
  • 12 Lemons
  • 6-8 Limes
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Purified Water
Margarita
  • Ice
  • Triple Sec
  • Good Tequila
  • Salt (if desired)
  • Club Soda (if desired)

Instructions:

Making The Mix
  1. Roll To soften the Lemons & Limes before your slice.
  2. Cut the fruit in half.
  3. Using a Lemon press, squeeze the juice from all the fruit into a large measuring bowl. 
  4. Measure how much juice you've yielded, and double that with purified water. 
  5. Strain the juice to remove all the extra pulp and seeds.
  6. Depending on how sweet you like your mix, (I prefer mine on that Tart side), add granulated sugar to and wisk it together until the sugar dissolves. 
  7. Pour into a glass jar, cover it & put it in the fridge for later. (can last about a week in the fridge)
Assembling the Margarita
  1. This can be controversial, depending on how you prefer  your margarita. This is just how I like to make them (easy and using as few tools as possible). 
  2. In a glass, (salt the rim if you like... I don't) add ice.
  3. Add about a shot of tequila.
  4. Add a splash of triple sec.
  5. Add the Margarita Mix. 
  6. Maybe add a splash of club soda.
  7. Stir. Sip. Enjoy. 
  8. (You can also make this in a shaker, if you're making multiple servings. I just make one after the kids go to bed, and don't want the extra dishes to clean)
  9. Drink responsibly.
