Baking Soda is an amazing cleaning product, and I’ve written before about the many uses of baking soda. Well, as part of my Arm & Hammer #SwitchAndSave Challenge, I had the opportunity to discover even more unique uses for my favorite cleaning product. Have you ever heard of any of these? Great Uses for Arm […]

Gluten Free Cookie Pie Recipe

Cookies are one of life’s greatest pleasures, especially if you are two years old. Everyone should be able to enjoy cookies, and thanks to a variety of recipes out there, pretty much anyone can (whether you are diabetic, allergic to nuts or chocolate, or have celiac disease). I’m part of Udi’s Gluten Free Living Community, […]

  • Oh man, now I want cookies! Looks delicious.

  • Amanda

    Those look so good!

  • That looks really tasty, Penelope! One giant cookie for me LOL!

  • YUMMY!! We are going gluten free as much as possible here in our home and not because of any allergies, but because it’s just better for you. I have yet to experiment with any other flours beside coconut, but I’m excited to try.

  • That looks amazing! Your little guy is just too cute as well.

  • This looks good. I’ll have to check out the community because I hear people speaking about gluten free diets but I haven’t really researched it.

  • This looks incredible Penelope!

  • These look just delicious!!

  • It looks really good.

  • Gluten free isn’t always easy to make tasty, so I’m glad you shared this yummy recipe!

  • Jenn

    We love cookie pie (or cake). Thanks for sharing!

  • Stefani

    I might just have to try your recipe!

  • Oh, yum! We’ll have to try these. I have finally given in to the fact that I’m sensitive to gluten. I’ll have to put this on my gluten-free list.

  • I have a 2 year old… so a cookie recipe sounds like a GREAT idea. 😉 Thanks.

  • Yummy!

  • Donna

    This look so good! It’s so funny, my son wouldn’t eat anything sweet until he was almost 4. I didn’t allow him to have sugar the first year of his life, so I guess he just didn’t want anything sweet. But he’s making up for it now. 🙂 Love the pic of your lil’ guy!

  • Looks great! I am going to share it with a gf friend!

  • Looks delicious!

  • sounds delicious. Makes me hungry now He looks like he really enjoyed them

  • I’ve never baked anything gluten free. Maybe this recipe will be my first!

  • Oooooh, LOVE the big cookie!! Yum!

  • You are a rockstar! No way I would know how to create a gluten-free baked good — it looks delicious!

  • That looks tasty and healthy.

  • April Decheine

    I will have to check that community out, we are experimenting with gluten free recipes.

  • What a cute photo and yummy cookie!

  • Oooh yummy! I have a GF friend and I couldn’t make her cookies so I made her a something different. Going to give these a try!

  • Looks delicious and I can see you have one fan already!

  • Mmm, Cookies!

  • This sounds amazing and no one would even realize they were missing out on that unnecessary gluten!

  • Mmmm… that looks SOOO good!

  • This looks so yummy! My husband and kids would love this…especially topped with vanilla ice cream 🙂

  • I’ll have to try this!

How To Be A Fabulous Guest Blogger

Being a guest blogger on another site or blog is a great way to network, find new readers, and create relationships with other bloggers. Every time you guest on another blog, you are exposing your site and writing to new audiences that have a chance to connect to you, as well as helping out a […]

  • These are some really great tips, Penelope.

  • Great tips! Thanks for sharing!

  • Great post Penelope! I need to do more guest blogging.

  • Great tips! It is important to self promote when you do a guest post!

  • Great tips, I don’t know that I’ve guest blog but twice before.

  • Great tips! You are always a great guest blogger! Thank you!

  • kostenlose rezepte

    bookmarked!!, I love your blog!

  • Donna

    Great tips! I’ve been incorporating a lot of guest bloggers on my blog, but need to do some guest blogging myself.

  • great tips. I haven’t been a guest blogger before so I’ll remember this post when the day comes.

  • Billie

    Great guest blogger tips, thanks for sharing.

  • I just started blogging this year. Whenever I stumble across great advice, I bookmark it and add as a favorite on Twitter. This is excellent advice for bloggers whether beginning or who have been in the game. I would love to start guest blogging but have no clue where to begin? Any tips or suggestions?

  • Penelope

    Sure, if you are part of a blogging forum, offer yourself as a guest poster (bloggers who go on vacation or are planning a maternity leave need great posts lined up and would appreciate a guest post, especially if the content is great for their readers to enjoy). This is the main way I do it…I see someone asking for help, and I offer a post.

  • Very well said. These are great tips!

  • Love these tips! Hope it makes some other guest bloggers fab. 🙂

  • I never have been a guest blogger for another site. I dont’ let other guest blog on my site either I just don’t see the point of it. Have u noticed an increase in readers when you do it. How large

  • These are great tips.

  • Great tips Penelope. I need to do more guest posts.

  • Penelope

    I think it’s a great way to help out friends who’d like new content that you offer (or maybe are taking a trip and would like some fun posts while they are gone), and I’m happy to let people guest post for me who are looking to branch out. People have found me on other sites through guest posts, a great way to make new friends and find new readers who are looking for a site like mine 🙂

  • Dale from Guest Blog Poster

    I don’t think there is anything wrong with self promoting, but do it in the author bio section. Everyone needs credit for their hard work, but like Penelope is saying, definitely don’t overdue it with your guest post.

  • Such a great reminder. I didn’t realize about sharing my own guest posts for the longest time. I would do a blog post round up once I had a few written up linking to them though. Very useful information!

  • Stefani

    Thanks for the tips!

  • Thanks for sharing!

Happy 4th Of July!

The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it. And one path we shall never choose, and that is the path of surrender, or submission. ~John F. Kennedy Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be […]
