at least I don't have to share

What to do when a trip to the mail box feels like a journey to the center of the sun? Pretend it’s January and make cookies of course! One problem though, I seem to have dropped ½ an eggshell in the batter…whoops…I guess we don’t have to share with the neighbors! (I did spend at least 30 minutes picking out eggshell. I had no idea how many bits and pieces could be created by 1/2 of an eggshell...)

Baking for my family can be a bit of a challenge between Rebekah's peanut allergy and Kristian's celiac disease(or intolerance to gluten). With this cookie recipe there is no worry of living without. I use a standard recipe for Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip cookies and substitute a gluten-free flour and soy-nut butter for the peanut butter. OMG they are the most amazing cookies on the planet.

On another note, my website got a much needed face-lift this weekend courtesy of Amy of http://www.simplycreative.com/. She designed my original website and she did a wonderful job of updating it to match my current style. It is a little organic and a little whimsical. Thanks Amy!
