“GLUTEN FREE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES “
Living with Hashimoto’s Disease often requires significant lifestyle adjustments, and for many families, these changes can be stressful. Personally, I struggle daily on “what to make for dinner! Now juggling in gluten free! Well so many failed attempts to find a diamond in the rough!
In my journey, I’ve found that involving the whole family in adopting a gluten-free lifestyle has not only made the transition smoother but also strengthened our bonds. One delightful aspect has been our adventures in gluten-free baking, particularly the success story of our beloved Chocolate Chip recipe.
When faced with Hashimoto’s Disease, the decision to go gluten-free was not only a health necessity but also a family affair. Educating our children about the importance of dietary changes and involving them in the decision-making process has made the transition more meaningful. Surprisingly the support and willingness to try new food, has been awesome.
One of the highlights of our lifestyle change has been the joy of gluten-free baking as a family. We discovered that baking gluten-free can be just as delicious and rewarding. Our family has embraced the challenge of exploring alternative flours and experimenting with various recipes to find the perfect gluten-free chocolate chip cookie. NO CARDBOARD TASTE!
My son Ryder and I have decided to create a video showcasing our gluten-free baking adventure making our cookies. Sharing our video with y’all not only keeps you in the loop about our lifestyle change but also served as an educational tool. Many were surprised at how tasty gluten-free baking could be!
Involving my children in the kitchen has been a valuable teaching opportunity for all of us. We’ve not only imparted the importance of gluten-free living but also educated them on the diversity of alternative ingredients. It’s empowering for them to know that gluten-free doesn’t mean sacrificing taste or variety.
Every new recipe becomes a “big test” in our culinary journey. Will it become “BEE APPROVED”? Keep it or ditch it? Our Chocolate Chip recipe was a triumph. The unanimous agreement among family members that it was a hit boosted our confidence in our newfound gluten-free culinary skills. TRY IT OUT! Happy baking!
