Gluten/Dairy Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

This afternoon I made Gluten/Dairy Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies. It is the EASIEST recipe ever. The cookies are chewy on the outside and soft on the inside. I also found a gluten free dairy free mini chocolate chip made by a company called Enjoy Life http://www.enjoylifefoods.com/our_foods/chocolate_chips/semisweet_chocolate_chips.html

I will not be making them often because they are loaded with sugar but they are the yummiest allergen free dessert I have made in a long time! Here is the recipe:

Chocolate eggs???

My Cuckooo Maran chickens FINALLY started laying after 7 months! They are a breed that origionated in France, they are know for laying very dark brown chocolate colored eggs. My hens are laying dark brown speckled eggs which make them that much more interesting looking. This pictures shows how dark the eggs are compared to my other chickens eggs.

For the birds

We keep a bird feeder hanging right in front of out dinig room table. Its so much fun to watch the birds all day. That was until we had a squirrel start raiding the feeder!!!!
