In this year’s collection, I tried to …

The 2018 Bariatric Foodie No-Flour, Sugar-Free Cookie Collection is sponsored by Sola! It’s here! It’s here! It’s finally here! I get so excited by this cookie collection every year. Mostly because I’m a baker at heart. I’m not the greatest baker in the world, but nothing gives me more joy than to go into the kitchen and tinker with my measuring …

C is for COOKIES! Yayyyyy! It’s that time again, Foodies. Now I’ve posted several cookie recipes over the years, but last year was the first year I released an official “cookie collection” with an e-book download.

If you don’t bake a lot, you may be wondering this. A base recipe is a core set of ingredients and a core method for mixing them, to which you can …

Oh peanut butter. How do I love thee…let me count the ways! Now I will preface this recipe by saying that it is possible to lower the fat significantly in this recipe by replacing some (not all) of the peanut butter for peanut flour.
