Is Quinoa Kosher?

Hey guys guess what!?  Pre-washed Quinoa is a great staple for a GF, kosher Passover!  (be careful with those processed brands of Quinoa Mixes, you'd be shocked to find wheat hiding in those)! In order for a product to be considered kosher for Passover rather then just kosher, it has to be a food that does NOT contain wheat, barley, oats, rye and spelt. (That has not come in contact with water). Questions? Also click HERE for a definition about Quinoa being Kosher for Passover with www.Chabad.org Enjoy! and Happy Passover! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com

Flourless Peanut Butter Cookies

Hey folks how are you all?!  I hope super fantastic!  If not these amazing peanut butter cookies may just do the trick.  They are super easy to make, and take a very small amount of time.  Hey-isn't that great?  Totally kid friendly and there is no dairy, no gluten and they are Vegan!  Naturally.  I cannot take credit for this recipe, as a friend passed it along to me.  My friend's cousin is Celiac and has been since a small child, and she loves these.  My friend jokes that her husband is Italian and hates anything GF and loves these as well.   Now I made them with Dark Brown sugar instead of the Light Brown sugar it called for (cuz that's all I had in my kitchen).  Totally a BAD move.  That made them taste only ok, even though I ate five anyways.  Ugh.  Sweets in my house no matter what they taste like, I will eat them anyways. You will also need a very tall glass of milk to wash them down.  Or Soy milk or dairy free milk, but something for sure. Anyways here
