Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies

These yummy Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies are adapted from the same oatmeal cookie recipe my mom used when I was a kid. I have great memories of coming home from school to the sweet smell of freshly baked cookies cooling on the counter. I could hardly wait to drop my book bag and sit at the kitchen table with a glass of milk and warm cookies. (Yes, we were THAT family!) I hope you can create some great memories of your own with warm Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies straight from the oven. Enjoy!
