Gluten-Free Vegan Chocolate Oat Bars
Last week, my daughter brought me a picture of some oat bars and proclaimed she was going to make them for dessert. In our house, to make food we can all eat it has to be gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and refined-sugar free. We came up with this recipe together and it’s a hit! It’s easy enough that my 8-year-old could “make it” (I helped a bit), it comes together fast, and is customizable and really yummy.

But being the amazingly caring wife I am, I told my husband I’d make him ANYTHING he wanted for his birthday dessert. His answer: no bake cookies. I looked at him for a moment like he’d just kicked my childhood puppy. I knew my self control would get the better of me. I got out a smaller saucepan and made some dairy-free no-bake cookies at the same time. The success had me almost in tears. I licked the pan, I ate the cookies and I was even able to keep them all to myself because they all wanted Daddy’s cookies. It was pretty awesome.

Read MoreGluten-Free Brownie Pudding Cake
When I was a kid, my mom would make brownie pudding cake on cold, wet days. It was so comforting topped with a big scoop of whipped cream that melted into the gooey chocolate. When it snowed a few weeks ago, I needed some warm, gooey comfort. But I didn’t want the next day sugar/gluten hangover I get. So I set out to make a grain-free, low sugar version. I was so pleased with the results, I nearly cried.
