a close up of Coconut Thumbprint Cookies (macaroons!) on a serving plate.

So I've been doing this gluten free thing for a little while. A very little while. Like, a couple of weeks. I was kind of really really hoping that I wouldn't feel any different, but I do. I'm definitely not swearing off gluten forever. I mean, how am I supposed to pig out on homemade ravioli or eat the best pizza ever if I don't eat gluten?

Anyway, I've been experimenting with new ways of preparing some of my favourite things. Stay tuned for a few more gluten free recipes to show up here.

  • Using a small cookie scoop, portion the dough and place it on the baking sheet. Use your thumb to press a little indent in the center of each portion. You'll need to press the sides together a bit to create little nests.
