Grain Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

Grain Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies

I was so excited when Otto’s Naturals sent me a bag of their Cassava Flour. I have been wanting to bake with Cassava Flour for awhile now. This was my first time ever baking with it and I have to say it truly is a winner in my book. These Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk cookies turned out so moist, chewy, and soft. No grittiness or weird textures.

Cassava Flour is a grain free flour that comes from the Yuca root vegetable. Cassava is not only grain free and gluten free, but its nut free, vegan, vegetarian, and paleo as well. It makes it a great choice for those on selective diets. One thing to keep in mind is that although it’s grain free, it does not mean it’s low carb. It actually contains a pretty high carbohydrate profile, given the fact that it comes from a starchy tuber.

Otto’s Cassava flour can be used as a one to one substitute by weight for wheat flour in many recipes because of its mild flavor and light texture. You can expect it to have no additives, xantham gum, or fillers, how exciting is that?!

You are going to love these Grain Free Peanut Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies made with Otto’s Cassava Flour. I’m so excited for you to try. Please leave a comment below and let me know how much you loved them 🙂

Flourless Maple Cinnamon Almond Butter Cookies

Flourless Maple Cinnamon Almond Butter Cookies

Colossians 3:15

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.

Peace is the moderator of my heart and mind. Recently, I’ve been calling the shots in my life instead of letting the Lord be my regulator. I’m tired of trying to control things that only God can control. I just end up with a lack of peace, exhausted and overwhelmed. Can you relate? You think I would’ve learned this lesson by now, but nope it still ends up resurfacing in different shapes and forms. You know what?… Sometimes I do it perfectly. I submit to his will and guidance, and my direction is so clear. Then there’s times like recently when I’m wandering blindly out in the wilderness. The more I revisit this process the more spiritual growth and renewal I experience. I truly believe affliction is the pathway to peace. Think about it, why would I want to sit around solving my own problems being depressed as the storms of life rage around me? Why not trust God, surrender to his will, stand firm in faith and watch God solve my problems while I enjoy my life!! I truly believe that is the secret to victorious living!

Don’t let true contentment evade you any longer, Let’s put our trust in God and seek divine perspective!

Psalm 139

Oh Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise, you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down, you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. You hem me in -behind and before, you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there, if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, you’re right hand will hold me fast. I say, Surely The darkness will hide me and the light become night around me, even the darkness will not be dark to you, the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. For you created my inmost being, you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, and your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. How precious to me are your thoughts,  O God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When I awake, I am still with you. If only you would slay the wicked, O God! Away from me, you bloodthirsty men! They speak of you with evil intent, your adversaries misuse your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord, and abhor those who rise up against you? I have nothing but hatred for them, I count them my enemies. Search me,  O God. And know my heart, test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Natalie’s Pineapple Candied Yams

 

1 Thessalonians 5:18

Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

What does it mean as a Christian to give thanks to God? I thought about that this week as I knew I would be writing this blog post. I felt stuck when I put my pen to the paper. I mean I love the Lord with all my heart and I’m so thankful for my family, for my friends, for my life, and for HIM most importantly. So I dug deeper and did a little searching in my studies.

Starting with a few scriptures  Psalm 107:1 Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! For his mercies endure forever. Ephesians 5:20 says this… always giving thanks to God the father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Giving thanks is so easy in the good times but what about the hard times? I feel like it’s so easy to focus on my pains and trials that I can easily lose sight of who he is and what he’s already done for me, and what he will continue to do for me. That’s why an attitude of gratitude is so so important. INatalie's Pineapple Candied Yamst draws me closer to him with a renewed sense of strength and power. Gratitude and Thanksgiving helps me to shift my focus on to God and away from my circumstances. Gratitude helps me to trust him when things look uncertain. Gratitude supersedes anxiety with peace.  Even if I’m not feeling it in the moment , choosing to express Gratitude with my words will eventually become a reality in my heart. Not only that but gratitude rejuvenates me spiritually, physically, and emotionally. So let’s practice having a Grateful /Thankful heart not just on Thanksgiving but everyday. Put your pen to that paper and start counting your blessings!! This is Gods will for us ??❤️

Hebrews 11:6

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

My favorite Christian artist Jeremy Camp sings this song called “Walk by Faith”.  Ive always thought walking by faith was reading the bible, praying, doing the right thing, trying to earn Gods favor so he would give me the desires of my heart. Yes those things are important but as I grow closer to the Lord I realize its so much more than that. God doesn’t want me to do things for him just to get something ‘from him’. Theres no reward with that. The reward comes when I diligently seek him with all my heart. Putting my full trust in him no matter what, even when things aren’t going as I think think they should or I feel my prayers aren’t being answered. Like that song says “I will walk by faith even when I cannot see”. Aha!… Thats what pleases God .. being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Hebrews 11:1-2) WHILE earnestly seeking him! God is faithful. If you obey his word, Love him with a pure heart, diligently seek him and walk by faith…He will reward your faithful diligence. He is a loving, trustworthy, all powerful God. He does not waiver! He will carry you through!

When everything is changing around us, HE… ” I AM WHO I AM”  remains the same ❤️

I had so much fun with this recipe. I love Cream Cheese and since going Dairy Free I haven’t put much thought into trying a dairy free version. I just thought theres really no way anything could come close to tasting like real cream cheese. Well I was wrong. Daiya Cream Cheese is the real deal if you can’t do Dairy. What a great substitute and my whole family fell in love with this Dip, my kids are picky to say the least! This Dip would be a huge hit at any of your holiday festivities, heck why not all year long!! Let me know what you think! Im excited for you to try it! 🙂

Blend all ingredients together and serve with a side of Gluten free Graham Crackers or Apples. Top with organic maple syrup and Crystalized Ginger.
Side note: I actually blended up the coconut milk with a little bit of sugar and vanilla before I added it to the remaining ingredients to finish blending, just to make sure it all blended nicely in the end.
