Scrumptiously Sweet || Quickest Dessert Ever

Desserts don't always have to take an hour to make - sometimes I just can't wait that long :)  I came back after a trip to TX and found out that this dessert was already a big hit with the family.  My sister has made it for us several times since, and it really does give me my *chocolate fix*.


Pour some frozen cherries, melted chocolate chips, and homemade caramel in a bowl - it's that simple.  The chocolate and caramel mix together and just ooze over the cherries.... you really have to try this!!


Here is my sister's homemade caramel recipe.


Combine 1 cup coconut sugar, ½ cup full fat coconut milk and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt in a saucepan over medium heat.  Simmer for about 10 minutes or until it gets really dark and thick.  Remove from heat and add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.  That's it!


I pour my chocolate on the very top after the caramel so it doesn't harden too fast over the frozen cherries :)

Scrumptiously Sweet || Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

There are only a few things that I crave more than chocolate chip cookies.  Pinkberry, Mexican Food, Homemade Ice Cream and Cupcakes to be exact.  I used to bake the most amazing triple chocolate chip cookies ever - really..... but then I had to get rid of all gluten from my diet and I can't ever have any again.  This recipe from the Urban Poser is very close to the "real" thing!  They are gluten free, egg free, vegan, and paleo (aka, the worlds healthiest cookies).  I'm glad that they don't *taste* like the healthiest cookies ever :)

These are the best when they first come out of the oven.  I'm not really sure how long they will last because we never have any leftovers :)
