For the love...

Of cookies. These are not my words, and I typically like to share my own, but this ode to Cookies spoke to my soul, moved me profoundly, and helped me realize there are others that feel as strongly about an amazing Gluten Free cookie as I do.

So Katrina Allrich, thank you, thank you, and thank you.

"My Ode to Cookies 

Life is short, number one. And just because I have celiac disease doesn't mean I surrender to a life without chocolate chip cookies. And coffee laced cookies. And mint chocolate chip cookies. I'm not giving up on warm-from-the-oven melty chocolate goodness. I'm most definitely not settling for any month old pre-packaged gluten-free poor excuse for a cookie. No way. Not gonna happen.

Because a good cookie is no small thing.

A good cookie can make you smile, even after a long, achingly crappy day. A good cookie might even bring you a kiss. Or little arms of appreciation wrapped around your neck. A good cookie might make you a new friend. Or prove to the class that you're not a total, allergic freak living on weirdo food that you have to feel sorry for and throw bread balls at.

A good cookie can make you feel like you belong."

Beautiful
