Soft Sugar Cookies (Gluten Free & Vegan)
It's snowing again! I can't believe it. The girls have been busy building forts in the living room, enjoying their day off school, while I've kept busy cleaning, decluttering and working on school stuff from home. Music keeps me focused, although DH and I differ on exactly what "focused" means. For him it means concentrating on one thing at a time to the exclusion of other things. For me it

Peanut Free, Soy Free Dipping Sauce
The other day I had a hankering for summer rolls with peanut sauce. An Asian restaurant close to us makes a really good peanut sauce that is gluten free and as best as I can tell, it consists of peanut butter, sweet chili sauce, sugar and water. The girls can't do peanut so they never get to partake. I decided to make a dipping sauce at home they can enjoy. I used crunchy almond butter, but
