With the holidays around the corner ..this is a fun time to enjoy family and friends company while enjoying some tasty treats.
When you love a gluten-free lifestyle, often times the common treat isn’t usually something that passes as gluten-free.
Well— don’t worry!
Below are two recipe links to our delicious gluten-free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, as well as our favorite homemade hot cocoa.
Here is our Gluten-fee cookie recipe. Keep in mind, when you take the cookies out of the oven they may not look quite right, but as you let them sit for a minute on the cookie sheet you will see they make great cookies with a delicious texture and flavor!
And for the hot cocoa recipe, you can find that here.
I have always enjoyed homemade hot cocoa better than store bought .. the flavor is more rich and vibrant!
However – if I do get a store bought hot cocoa, my top choice is Stephens mint hot chocolate.
We hope you enjoy these tasty treats… and even more, we hope you’re holidays are fun and memorable!

This recipe may be one of my favorites to share! It has taken me a VERY long time to perfect this recipe…but I think you will love it!
Growing up I LOVED my moms oatmeal chocolate chip recipe.
After becoming gluten-free I craved my moms cookie recipe.
It’s only taken me about thirteen years to get it right. But FINALLY I feel like the texture and the flavor is just like the original, delicious cookie that I loved growing up.
I experimented, and using parchment paper is best…it helps the cookie to rise more.
Enjoy this recipe! Share away! The video is below if you prefer that, if not, follow along and this recipe is simple and delicious!
Ingredients:
-1 cup softened butter
-1 cup brown sugar
-1 cup white sugar
-2 eggs

-1 1/2 cups flour
-1 teaspoon salt
-1/4 teaspoon xanthum gum
-1 teaspoon baking soda
-2 cups quick oats (gluten-free)
-2 cups chocolate chips (nestle or hershey)
Instructions:
Until Next Time!

Isn’t it wonderful when you make a meal, and you’re ENTIRE family eats it?!
As a mom with young kids, it makes my day when I can focus on one meal instead of feeling like a short-order chef, cooking multiple items.
I wanted to share with you our families’ FIVE “go-to” meals that even my pickiest eater enjoys!
1- Korean Beef
This Korean beef recipe is easy and a favorite. We make it at least once a month.. sometimes more.
You can eat this meal with rice, noodles or really anything that sounds tasty with it.
2-French Toast Bake
Do you ever make breakfast for dinner? My kids love when I switch it up, and they LOVE this French toast recipe.
Many of you may know that I have to eat gluten free, so I figured out my own way to make this recipe gluten free. But if you want the regular recipe click here . I found this recipe on Pinterest and it’s delicious.
For the gluten-free version click below :
3- Roast Beef & Corn on the cob
You may be thinking, why not potatoes and gravy with roast beef? Well, my kids aren’t big fans of potatoes and gravy.. but if you throw in corn on the cob … they are happy!
To cook roast beef just right I follow this steps:
1-Thaw it in the fridge the night before
2- stick it in the crockpot.
2-Pour 1 cup of beef broth over it and cover it with salt and pepper.
3. Cook on low for 4-6 hours, to your desired tenderness.
4-Grilled Chicken & Carrots
My husband is a master on the grill and we found that if we wanted to get my kids to eat chicken, they love it grilled!
We add BBQ sauce or ketchup on the side depending on preference.
We add raw carrots for a veggie and my kids love it.
5- Rice & Meatballs:
My kids love meatballs but don’t always eat the sauce so I always make sure to make some meatballs that aren’t covered in sauce.
Here is the recipe I use, it’s actually gluten-free but my kids love it!
I hope some of these recipes can be useful to you!
Now the question, what are your “go-to” meals?
