Mmmmm…. cookies
Even though summer is my favorite season, there are definitely some lovely things about fall. We had our first, foggy, rainy, overcast days of fall this week. Something about fall weather makes me want to cook soup, read books, light a fire in the fireplace, snuggle with my little boy and bake. All of which I did this past week – even though the fall weather only lasted about two days before the sunshine returned, I put them to good use!
During that time, I found an outstanding recipe for peanut butter cookies that is gluten and casein free. And let me just be clear, I only like peanut butter in sandwiches and in my sister’s peanut butter cookies (which alas, I have not been able to convert to GFCF). But these cookies are amazing! Not amazing for GFCF food, I mean amazing! And easy to make! And irresistible! It’s a wonder there were enough left to take this picture. I found the recipe on my new favorite GFCF blog Gluten Free Girl and the Chef
And in case you’re in the mood for soup – this is the Kale and White Bean Soup recipe from Epicurious I made this week. (Don’t be afraid – it’s easy to make and delicious. Even my son loves it!)
How about you? What do you feel like doing when the seasons change? Please share – we’ll have our own online fall festival.
Those look yummy, though I don’t like peanuts. 🙂
When the season changes, I especially love to curl up in bed with a good book, watch movies with loved ones. And I can’t wait for pumpkin season so I can bake my favorite seasonal cake, Pumpkin Sheet Cake

Ooh… that pumpkin cake sounds delicious! Thank you for sharing! Funny, I never used to be a pumpkin fan – other than pumpkin pie that I make for Thanksgiving and my Dad’s birthday (because it’s his favorite). But then I discovered pumpkin lattes and pumpkin scones and pumpkin bread — I was hooked! There’s even a big pumpkin festival not far from me where you can try pumpkin ice cream. (That I didn’t like as much. Have you tried it?)
I recently tried this recipe http://www.alaskafromscratch.com/2011/10/08/pumpkin-spice-latte-syrup-2/ for pumpkin spice syrup for my coffee, so I don’t have to go to Starbucks as often. It’s not the same as Starbucks, but it’s quite good. I decreased the cloves by half, so it wouldn’t be so overpowering. I bet it would be great drizzled on your pumpkin cake. 🙂
That sounds delicious, jb, thanks for sharing! I’ll let you know when I’ve tried it (not for a few weeks, pumpkins still need to grow a bit here) 🙂
You are posting about peanut butter cookies? Who are you and what did you do with jb?! I have to try them now. (And I printed out the Kale and white bean soup recipe!)
