Blueberry Banana Bread (Gluten Free) (Vegan)

Banana Blueberry Bread (Gluten Free) (Vegan) 2

A warm slice of bread topped with a dab of butter or touch of jelly is quite possibly one of the best things to have for breakfast. I have not had any type of bread for breakfast in a long time. I’ve been stuck in a breakfast rut. I have the same thing EVERY MORNING. It’s nothing exciting. I have a couple ounces of yogurt mixed with flax and chia seeds. It tastes fine. It gets my day started but it does not make my tastes buds dance.

Gluten Free Granola Bars

No-Bake Coffee Chocolate Chip Granola Bars

It seems like everyone I know is busy. A busy life means you sometimes need a snack you can eat on the go. A handful of nuts or an apple are suitable snacks but sometimes you want something a little more satisfying. One of my favorite snacks is a granola bar. There are endless types of ingredients that can go into a granola bar. The No-Bake Coffee Chocolate Chip Granola Bars pictured above are delicious. However, sometimes I just don’t feel like making my own snacks.

Gluten Free Chocolate Cookies: Filled with Espresso and Hazelnut

Double Chocolate and Espresso Cookies 1

A few months ago I received a Facebook message from a friend who wanted to share a cookie recipe with me. It’s no secret that I love sweets, especially if they include chocolate. She made the cookies and they turned out fabulous. She knew I would love them. Usually I don’t have a problem adapting recipes. A few simple substitutions will do the trick.
