Gluten Free Pecan Bars

This is one of our very favorite treats for the holidays! I make them every year and our son loves them with ice cream and whipped cream on top. Not so sticky sweet like pecan pie and very easy to whip up a batch. Great BYOD for parties too! No one would even know they are Gluten Free so don’t even tell us!

Homemade Gluten Free Thin Mints

This recipe is from Heather Jernigan. Since the Girl Scouts don’t have gluten-free cookies yet I’ve made these and they are delicious and so easy to make! The mint was a little overwhelming so I’d use much less next time. Having a chocolate craving? Make up a batch of these chocoholic babies!

One Medjool date has 17 milligrams of potassium and 15 milligrams of calcium (You won’t find those in plain ol’ white sugar!).
Dates have one of the highest antioxidant contents of any fruit or vegetable, which protects the body against degenerative diseases such as cancer and heart disease.
Dates have a high fiber content, and practitioners of Chinese medicine have long used dates to improve physical conditions such as stomachache, abdominal pain, and anemia.
