Hermit Cookies – Gluten Free
I promised to share this recipe right away, so I am posting it before I normally would. These have a dryer texture then the ones with wheat in them and I will be fine-tuning this recipe. We will post below this one the Wheat Hermits soon. Both cookies are not overly sweet which is why we like them.

2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp cloves
¾ cup walnuts
¾ cup sultanas

Sugar Free Apple Sauce
I love sweets! I know that many others do too, as I am frequently hearing about it.
To help with those sugar cravings in a healthy way, we need to prepare nutritious sweets. I have created lots of sugar free recipes and here is a first one to start a whole series of sugar-free yummies.
Of course it is more nutritious to eat the fruit raw but sometimes we are looking for that comfort food that is sweet and hot. This is a good fruit sauce that does not have any added sugar and it tastes good too.
