Gluten Free cookies
After reading and (may be) testing my winter soups some of you may be ready for something sweet and delicious, just to start well the week end! I am with you!
What about some cookies, healthy, delicious and quick to make?
A few months ago I decided to switch from store-bought basic food to homemade food. For the past weeks I have made almost everything we eat in our home from scratch and I decided to really focus onto homemade food from: cookies, pastas, pizza, baguettes (my husband is our bread master- he religiously make them every day!), ice cream and even to ricotta cheese!
If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter you saw some of them already!
So for the next week you will see on my blog a new serie of posts based on Cooking from scratch. And yes I can assure you all can do it.
This quest for healthy food and cooking has been reinforced through a Blog and certainly a beautiful person: Nathalie Ruffat Westling. She lives in France and her blog is a fantastic journey unto healthy, delicious and a simple living. Visit her blog and your day will be different. She has the knowledge to find the best ingredients, herbs, olive oil…..If I am a novice in term of cooking from scratch Nathalie is the Queen of a unique and healthy cooking full of flavors from her secret Luberon Colline/ hill or from around the world. She totally inspires you. She is also a talented photographer and I am very excited that soon you will read an Interview I did with Nathalie in my blog.
Meanwhile I encourage you to bookmark her fantastic Blog :
