Sweet Treats
Hot Chocolate Mix with Powdered Goat Milk
Whenever we are out and about running errands, I’ll often swing by a coffee shop to grab my staple – a piping hot black Americano. I absolutely love my coffee, but I get so sad when it’s freezing out (sub-zero temps are often the norm up here in the winter) and the girls can’t enjoy…
Fluffy Corn-Free Marshmallows with Coconut Sugar
The girls and I decided to pitch homeschool out the window today after a busy morning of running errands. Well, we’re watching the old classic movie, Annie, instead. Maybe we can consider it a lesson in social studies and history??! I’ll let you decide. It’s been so long since I’ve seen this movie – it…
Gluten-Free Chocolate Cupcakes with Toasted Marshmallow Frosting
We celebrated a birthday this week! Our little miss Abbi turned 6, which I still can’t believe. These past 6 years have flown by so quickly.

Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies
These Paleo Chocolate Chip Cookies are my favorite cookies. They are crispy on the outside, yet chewy and soft on the inside. I make these for my family when we want a treat or a pick me up (I may have even let my girls have 2 for breakfast the other day… but I won’t confirm…

Easy 2-Ingredient Chocolates (soy & nut free, vegan)
True confession: I used to hate Valentine’s Day. Like seriously disliked it. Every year I’d set unrealistic expectations about the silly holiday and always, always end up disappointed.

Gluten Free Pecan Pie Cookies
A subtly sweet shortbread topped with pecan pie filling… does it get any better? When I was little, my mom made sure we had pecan pie every holiday; it was my dad’s favorite.

Toll House Style Chocolate Chip Cookies (gluten free, dairy free, soy free)

Orange Creamsicle Popsicles (dairy free, Paleo & GAPS friendly)
When I was little, I remember my mom making popsicles very similiar to these, but she used orange juice concentrate and cane sugar instead of pure unsweetened orange juice and honey/stevia.
