Learning as I go

In the last 5 years I have really taken to cooking. I didn't do much at first, some baking mostly. I have discovered it is a new passion of mine and felt that this would be a great way to share the many recipes that have come my way along with some originals of my own. In the last couple weeks we have started receiving CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) - local grown fruit and vegetables and boy have I had fun figuring out what all I can do with it. Ive been making and cooking things I never imagined I would. So if you have found a passion in cooking like I have you have come to the right place. I hope you enjoy!

Paleo/Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies





I've recently decided to try eating in a more healthy way, some call it Paleo or Primitive. I'm not one to eat an over abundance of meats but I am all for giving up processed foods and am having fun experimenting on how to cook without dairy or wheat. My focus is on lean protein, fruits, veggies and healthy fats. Here is a recipe for those of us with a sweet tooth.


Ingredients:
2 and 1/2 cups almond flour
1/2 tsp Sea Salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup grape seed oil or coconut oil ( I used grape seed oil,)
1 TBSP vanilla extract
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup Enjoy Life chocolate chips (these are dairy, nut and soy free)

Preheat and Bake Cookies at 350 degrees. Mix the ingredients and form dough into little balls (they do spread).

Place the dough on parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 7-10 minutes. After they bake, I recommend letting them sit for a couple minutes to cool before removing them. They do split in the middle pretty easily when they are fresh out of the oven and then stay together once they cool.
