Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies
I have become aware of how sensitive I've become to gluten recently and about two months ago I started going gluten free. It makes for a bit more of a challenge when it comes to cooking and especially baking, but there are plenty of recipes online to help us along.
This recipe was actually given to me by my oldest granddaughter. But I wanted to share it here with you so you could give it a try because they really are tasty.
1 cup super-chunky peanut butter
1 cup brown sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mini chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix first five ingredients in medium sized bowl. Mix in chocolate chips. Using moistened hands, form generous 1 Tablespoon dough for each cookie into a ball. Arrange on two ungreased cookie sheets, spacing two inches apart.
Bake cookies until puffed, golden on bottom and still soft to touch in center, about 12 minutes. Cool on sheets five minutes and then transfer to racks; cool completely.

Turnips...Are you a fan?
Strongheart recently came to the house in search of a quarter. When I asked him what he was going to do with it, he said he wanted to use it as a point of reference for the size of the turnip that he'd just dug.

From My Journal
TODAY IS: 11 November 2024
AROUND ME: The majority of the beautiful leaves have gone from shining beautifully on the trees to gracing the ground with their presence. The trees look a bit sad and the earlier hours of darkness, both morning and evening, make the days seem longer.
I AM PONDERING: the heartache that death brings. There have been two different deaths around since my last post...one a parent and one an adult child. It makes me thankful that as Christians even though we do grieve, it is not without hope.
AMONG MY FAVORITE THINGS: being inside with a fire in the woodstove...especially when it's a dreary day outside. As we say around here, "Just because it's dreary outside doesn't mean it has to be dreary inside. " :)
BOOKS I AM CURRENTLY ENJOYING: Refreshment for the Soul is a collection of Richard Sibbes thoughts on different topics and is compiled as a devotional. So, it will be an ongoing reading throughout this year.
The Soul's Conflict by Richard Sibbes I'm making a bit of progress on this read. While Richard Sibbes writings as a Puritan are much easier reading than some of the Puritans, I have taken my time on purpose as I've read through the pages. It's been not only a learning experience, but also a convicting experience as well.
I AM THANKFUL FOR: technology that allows us to have access to good Biblical teaching, my copy of God's Word where I can study and grow closer to my Father, Jesus my Redeemer, for those who have served in the military...our veterans.
