When I was growing up, we had this step-by-step cookbook that I loved to look at. By the time I was 8 or 9 years old, I was teaching myself how to cook. I was an avid reader anyway, and cookbooks were as intriguing to me as The Baby-Sitters Club series. I devoured both as […]

These gluten free peanut butter cookie sandwiches might just be the best combo of all. Remember those oatmeal cookie sandwiches from elementary school days? My mom would pack one in my […]
{This was originally a guest post I did for Spark last summer. I couldn’t resist re-posting it over here. Summer is coming, and this is a fabulous, if labor intensive, dessert to usher in the hot weather, long days, and all things fun.} Homemade marshmallows turned into homemade ice cream, homemade graham crackers, and homemade […]
