It is always great when we can sit back and feature a guest post from a fellow food enthusiast. This is actually the first of two posts for the month. Today, travel writer and food lover Kendra Thornton shares a gluten-free cookie recipe. If you search around for Kendra online, you’ll find that she does not have a food blog, but she has submitted several guest postings for other bloggers.

There are really great things about waking up in the morning on the weekend: knowing it’s a Saturday or Sunday and you don’t have to go to work, staying in bed past 9:00 am because you can and smelling something baking. Someone once said the best part of waking up was Folgers in your cup, but we think the best part of waking up is arising to the scent of someone cooking in the kitchen. We’ve made biscuits before, but these are purely unadulterated. Eat them plain or add butter, honey or jam. They are most definitely a great way to usher in a good morning.
