Random Babble


Wow!!! It’s been so long since I have gotten around writing something to put on here! I still have not made a decision about publishing my book. I’m still thinking and praying on that one!

Thankfully the pain in my side has gone away and has not come back! Baruch HaShem! Takk to everyone who has prayed about that! I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart! However I have been having a weird looking rash lately( almost similar to the one I had prior to being diagnosed with celiac disease) and the doctors are thinking its an oat allergy…hoo boy… what else?! However they are not sure yet and I’m praying and praying that its not! Oats is one of the few grains I can still eat! However if it is an oat allergy I am sure that I will be able to figure it out! It would just be another adventure in life and I am sure I would have fun with it!

Two weeks ago I did all my first aid/CPR recertification. Yeesh…they are always changing how to do things! I felt like I had to relearn everything from bandaging to CPR. I must admit that I am thankful that I do not have a weak stomach because my instructor went into great detail about people vomiting while you are giving them CPR( not IF they vomit, WHEN they vomit) and showing us some pretty gruesome pictures of wounds, cut off hands and toes, pencils in eyes…ok you get the point…! It was a great class though all in all and I am glad that I have the knowledge and skill to help someone if they need it! Hopefully I dont have to use it! Ever!

The month of May is celiac disease awareness month! In my next post I am going to try to gather up some information about celiac disease so those of you who are not familiar with it can become more familiar. Also I had the great idea to ask my friends to go gluten free for the month of may in support and to raise awareness of celiac disease. Thankfully my friends are just as crazy as I am and most of them embraced the idea and are now gluten free for the month of may! You guys are awesome!!!

So in honour of celiac awareness month and all my friends who are gluten free( may it be a month or for life) here is my recipe for gluten free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies!

GF Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

1 egg

¾ C. Sugar

1 tsp Baking powder

1 C. Creamy peanut butter

½ tsp Vanilla extract

1/3 C. Chocolate Chips

Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Beat together egg, sugar, baking powder and vanilla with an electric mixer. When that is well mixed beat in the peanut butter. Stir in chocolate chips.

Drop dough by teaspoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet, pressing lightly with the back of a fork. Bake for ten minutes until lightly set. Let cool ten minutes before removing from pan.

Enjoy!

 

Shalom Everyone!
