Ooey-Gooey Dark Chocolate Eggnog Cookies (Gluten-Free)

By

These are a few of my favorite things about the holiday season: Eggnog, cookies, and family. And I was able to combine them in quite the delicious event!

Ok, so this time of year can get pretty hectic, and we’re all doing our best to hang ALL the decorations, buy ALL the presents, remember who’s holiday party is coming up next, and, of course, make time for the people we love most. (Wow, it’s been a crazy few weeks, right?)

I’m thankful that our family has “24 Days of Togetherness” to help us enjoy the holiday season as much as possible. We make time for one another with activities that put us spirit of the season and one of our favorite things to do together is bake!

This year, we took two of our loves (chocolate + eggnog) and combined them into one delicious cookie: Ooey-Gooey Dark Chocolate Eggnog Cookies. They. Are. Delicious. These cookies have subtle hints of eggnog and nutmeg with melt-y dark chocolate making them the ultimate cookie swap or holiday party tag-along. I promise you will not regret making these deliciously decedent and surprisingly simple treats. They’re gluten-free (you won’t even be able to tell the difference), so just about everyone can enjoy them!

Post-Workout Coffee Protein Shake

Once again, I’ve partnered with Brother  to show the versatility of the  Brother P-touch Label Maker , especially when it comes to fitness and gym equipment.  As always, thank you for supporting CNC! I receive quite a few questions from readers about what I eat before, during, and after workouts, so I decide to share those with you today. It changes a little bit from workout-to-workout, but I keep a general framework in mind. BEFORE (approximately 30 minutes): I typically eat a small snack made up of mostly simple carbs since they provide quick energy. Some favorites: Half of a banana or another piece of whole fruit, a protein bar, handful of raisins, or a rice cake with jam and sometimes nut butter (it just depends how hungry I am and the timing of my workout). DURING : I typically don’t consume anything during my workouts, unless they’re longer than 90 minutes, like if I’m training for a long distance race (i.e. half marathon). In that case, I’ll take an energy gel and water ev

If we were in a room, almost everyone’s hand would go up, including mine!  With so much of our lives digitized these days, it’s hard not to get overwhelmed with all the information we need to save and reference. And because computers, the internet, and living in email and calendars are relatively new to humans, we as a society are still learning good systems. If I asked you to organize a paper filing cabinet, you’d probably have a few good ideas on how to do that. But if I asked you to organize a computer hard drive, many of us get stumped on the sheer volume of files and the endless ways to sort.  The good news is there are apps that make this process more intuitiv
