Keste... a night out, NYC

Keste has just expanded on their gluten free options! Any night in NYC is better with Keste! Their pizza is cooked in a separate brick oven and is simply THE BEST PIZZA! Miss the doughy crust, the flavor of a real pizza pie?!? This is where to find Italian perfection. If you are sharing, this pizza is not to disappoint your other half, but tell them to order their own- you deserve it! 

Check out the "newly updated" gluten free menu here:

Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

While some of you layout your outfit for the following day, I lay out my ingredients! 

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 cup peanut butter

3/4 cup sugar

3/4 cup brown sugar, packed

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

3 cups GLUTEN FREE (we use trader joes ) OATS

6 ounces chocolate chips

1/2 cup golden or regular raisins

1/2 cup walnuts (optional) 

Preheat your oven to 350*. In your Kitchen Aid mixer, or large bowl, combine the butter, peanut butter and sugars, beating until they are creamy. Add in your egg, baking soda, vanilla and cinnamon. Whip for 3 minutes. Fold in your raisins, oats, chocolate chips and walnuts. On a lightly greased sheet pan drop with a heaping teaspoon about 2 inches apart- they expand! Bake for about 12 minutes. Because of the gooyness, be careful when lifting from the sheet pan. If they start to fall apart just push back together to cool

It's been two years...

While I thought this was "old news" - gluten free blogging- I am constantly being asked about my blog. Why am I not still writing posts? Can they still have the link so they can get old posts.. So I thought to myself, the whole reason I did this was to help people. So, even if it is for just one person, I am back!!!!

Look for new recipes, new restaurants that are doing the most FANTASTIC things! New caterers, new fun parties and most of all NEW GLUTEN FREE items found locally at a store near you...

SO, I welcome my self back and say hello to people who might be new to this blog! I promise you stellar updates and fantastic new finds!
