= REAL GLUTEN-FREE RECIPES FOR THE ADVENTUROUS AT-HOME COOK =
one of the things i find interesting is how many people come up to me and tell me they’re overwhelmed with making gluten free dishes over the holidays. it can be overwhelming, sure, if you’re making extravagant meals and ones that contain a load of ingredients.

One of the things I love about these cookies is how easy they are to make. And they’re very easy to eat! No utensils required.
Like little trick-or-treat…
