These delicious almond thumbprints are made with a mix of butter and shortening, which gives you the benefits of both. The great taste of butter along with a tender, lightly textured cookie resulting from the shortening. The almond flavoring in the icing pairs perfectly with the raspberry jam. These cookies are so yummy, it's hard to only eat one!

These brownies are soooooo rich, fudgy, and dreamy! The thin layer of ganache on top gives them an extra element of fudginess that nobody can say "no" to. A tiny hint of cinnamon adds to that warm coffee flavor and makes it taste like you're actually drinking your favorite fancy coffee. I was adamant about having a dusting of cocoa powder on the very top, not only for the looks, but for the very slight bitterness to even further mimic the coffee flavor. So yummy.

Chocolate cake topped with chocolate buttercream is one of my favorite desserts. Actually, it has been my birthday cake of choice for many years.

Give this chocolate buttercream a try. I know you'll love it as much as I do.

This carrot cake recipe was my grandmother's. She used to make it in a large sheet pan and everyone loved it, so making this cake gluten free was a no-brainer for me. The brown sugar topping is delicious and perfect if you aren't a fan of icing. It is great with a steaming, hot cup of coffee in the morning...who doesn't love cake for breakfast.

This cake bakes up quickly and easily. I don't know about you, but this is the only carrot cake I know of that uses boiled and mashed carrots. I guess Grandma was a trendsetter. Once the carrots are ready, just mix up the batter, sprinkle on your glorious walnut topping, and drizzle with melted butter. Sweet cake perfection.

I love guacamole so much, but the rest of my family members weren't the biggest fans of it until I made my own recipe up for it. My mother always said how she felt that avocados tasted like grass. Now, she asks me to make this guacamole almost every single week. It is seriously the easiest recipe and it takes less than 10 minutes to make. Plus, it's naturally gluten-free, extremely cost friendly, and beyond delicious. So, gather your avocados and let's make some guac!🥑🧅🧄🍅

Breakfast cookies are a great way to start the day. They're like a bowl of oatmeal in a cookie form! These breakfast cookies are the first thing I created when I went gluten-free. I wanted something in the morning that wasn't overly sweet and would fill me up until lunch time. So, I got to work and after some trial and error I came up with these.

These breakfast cookies are soft, moist, not too sweet, and made with lots of healthy ingredients like peanut butter, oats, ground flax, applesauce, raisins, and chocolate chips. Added bonus - they stay fresh for days; no dried up, crumbly cookies here. I've come up with lots of variations sp there's something for everyone. What I have so far is original, walnut, chocolate chip, lemon blueberry, and banana nut. The possibilities are endless! You can stick with my combos or create your own with your favorite oatmeal add-ins.

Finally -- A quick and easy, super delicious, creamy white queso dip. Best of all, you can make it yourself with just 8 ingredients. It's one million times better than any jarred queso you will ever buy. I started with evaporated milk instead of regular milk to give this queso a creamier texture and flavor. I also used 2 kinds of cheese: white American and Cooper sharp. I tend to use it in a lot of things I make.

Chocolate and cherry - what a great combination...especially when you add booze into the mix! These delicious cookies have been in my family for many years. We make them every year for Christmas and they're always a hit. So, when my daughter and I decided to make these gluten-free we thought "Why not change them up a little bit?". Hellloooo, Southern Comfort! A little, red, sweet gem soaked in booze and maraschino cherry juice. Combine this with chocolate and you definitely have a winner on your hands. A fudgy, chocolate, boozy cordial cherry cookie.

Of course, if you don't want to soak the cherries in Southern Comfort you don't have to. You can keep them classic by using plain maraschino cherries and they'll still be insanely delicious. They'll be perfect for the kiddos to enjoy as well!

Chocolate and raspberry are the perfect combination of flavors. These cookies are the perfect balance of the two. A delicate chocolate flavor that goes wonderfully with the sweet raspberry jam. I guess that's why these cookies are a must-have in my house during the holiday season. In fact, they are my daughter's favorite Christmas cookie as well as a huge crowd favorite. We usually end up needing to make a second batch for the holidays because the first batch gets devoured so quickly.

Along with being great for the holidays, these chocolate raspberry thumbprints are perfect any time of year. They are super simple to mix up and are baked in no time at all. So, whenever you need a chocolate-raspberry treat, whip up a batch of these cookies and enjoy.
