Cloud 9 Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Since R (the fiance) can't eat Gluten anymore, we've been looking for alternatives for him to eat. It's not all about going to buy the specifically Gluten Free baked goods or bread, it's more about changing our eating habits. Instead of buns and such for dinner, we'll have salad and some meat. It's a healthier lifestyle but it's pretty hard to get used to. I've decided to make the change as well because when we have children, they probably won't be able to eat Gluten either. It's just easier to make it a Gluten Free household so it's fair and less chance of cross contamination.

That being said, a treat once in a while isn't so bad, just like everyone who CAN eat Gluten. R heard about a store in downtown New Westminster called Cloud 9 and it's supposed to be really good. He went down there one day and picked up this Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie mix! I gave it a go today.

They smelled SO good and they taste the same. They're sooo chewy :) We're definitely going to be buying this mix again. I was hoping to find a recipe for GF cookies from scratch, though. 

Have you made anything Gluten Free lately?

A Little Preview...

I've just about finished making the centerpieces! All I need to do is buy some burlap, and Rob's Aunt's friend is making some tree trunk pieces for the mason jars to rest on. I'm so ready for these to be finished but it's just the little things that need to be done now, for them. I kind of want them to be a surprise, or rather not seen, until the wedding, but I decided to give you guys a bit of a preview! :)

Working on things and finishing them up just gets me more excited for the wedding! These are also pretty simple to make and don't require a ton of money to do. My Maid of Honor gave me a TON of mason jars for free, which helped a lot!

Happy April! This month is going to bring a bunch of great stuff for us. It's only 2.5 months away from the wedding, so I have a ton of things to do still, but I'm looking forward to it. 

Today, Gunner and I walked to Starbucks and the pet store. He picked out a toy and I picked up a stake and leash for him to be able to run around outside. Him and I are both enjoying the sunshine! I've got laundry and a roast going as well :)

Elizabeth also had me answer a question about what I'm excited about for spring! Check it out!

How did you spend the first day of April?
