| Gluten Free Cranberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies |
Since
I have been gluten free I've been on the search for recipes and gluten
free products that actually taste good. What I mean is that it should
taste like food a person can enjoy eating. I look online and in various
cook books for recipes but I like to remix them and make them work for
me. I've tried some and failed some. But when I succeed, I
don't mean to brag but it usually tastes pretty damn good. I promise
and plus my hubby to be is a willing participant in my taste tests.
He's still alive so that's a sign I'm doing things right.
So,
I'm not gluten free because it's a fad. Believe it or not I'm not happy
paying almost seven dollars for a loaf of bread that is half the size
of a regular loaf. I'm not here to preach about how evil gluten
is...gluten filled treats are quite delicious. However, that little
protein makes me feel sick. There are tons of sites detailing and
explaining what gluten is and why it make some people sick (get to
googling!). But, before you do check out my recipe for Gluten Free
Cranberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies.
