It’s time for another rendition of Adopt A Gluten-Free Blogger! This month is being hosted by Sunny of And Love It Too - and there’s still time to sign up – deadline is today, July 28th – so if you want to participate, leave Sunny a comment on her sign-up post and you’re in! If you are interested in signing up for August, check out Alta @ Tasty Eats at Home!
This was my very first time in participating in the Adopt a Gluten-Free Blogger series. What a treat! It was obvious for me to pick someone who cooked without a lot of grains since we are 3 weeks into our Paleo, grain-free trial. I wanted to eat the culinary creations I whipped up!
I first stumbled upon The Urban Poser when her “No Oatmeal Creme Pie Cookies” caught my eye out in the blogosphere. Once I landed on Jenni’s site, I was eager to peruse all the amazing eye candy: this is one talented food photographer! And better yet, here was a blogger that cooked with minimal sweeteners and had a focus on real food: a perfect fit!
Exploring The Urban Poser even more thoroughly was a great pleasure. With her witty, down-to-earth prose, you feel like you are cooking with a friend!
These cookies are a recent creation by Jenni and are a complete home-run. A home-run when your team is down by 3 and the bases are loaded. Smokin. I was first drawn to the recipe as it had no eggs and used so little sweetener! The results were soft, tender, and had a lovely chewy texture. My husband took one bite and exclaimed, “These are %^#$@ awesome!” I would have to agree.
So few ingredients, and no eggs to boot, these grain free cookies are a surprise: how can such simple ingredients create such a perfect gluten free cookie?! I even got away with using 3 tablespoons of honey instead of the 1/4 cup…crazy!
Enjoy people, I know my neighbors, my family, and well….mySELF have really, REALLY enjoyed these cookies, and I would guess you will too!
Here is Jenni’s recipe for “Perfect Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies.”

Thanks Jenni for so many mouth-watering photos and helping make my month long grain -free stint a HUGE, delicious success!
Here are some other things I have tried or can’t wait to try (I got a bit carried away, but this actually a limited list, I could have put MORE!)!!:
- The Best Almond Flour Biscuit Style Cinnamon Rolls ( I posted a strawberry-orange version of these, really a treat!)
- Almond Flour Pumpkin Muffins
- Almond Crusted Fish Sliders
- Vietnamese Style Chicken Cabbage Salad – I served this with the Vietnamese Grilled Chicken on my blog and was in love…what a great dinner, so flavorful!
- Pumpkin, Apple, Chive, & Bacon Biscuits
- Vietnamese Cauli-Fried Rice w/ Nuoc Chom – This was AMAZING! The cauli rice is so sneaky, and you really feel like you are eating rice! So many flavors here, loved it!

When her third child was born with severe food allergies, Tessa took to the kitchen to figure out how to feed her family well. Always up for a culinary challenge, their journey has taken many twists and turns! Lots of Paleo, and lots of top 8 free. Good food for families, that's what she's about!
Wow–so beautiful! Grain free and egg free? It sounds too good to be true! I will head over to Jenni’s blog right now!
You won;t be disappointed lauren…every single person who has tried these has turned around and made a batch for themselves..they are THAT good!
Fantastic adoption post! I will head over and check out these recipes for sure. Coincidentally I just posted my adopt-a-blogger post this morning.
Thanks for the great post.
It looks like this is the best of both worlds…no grain, no eggs! Terrific! Will be checking it out and thanks for sharing this week in our linky ☺
Gluten free and egg free. I can hardly believe it. They look absolutely perfect. Heading over there right now.
These look absolutely amazing! Can not wait to try them, thanks for sharing
Love your photos too!
Thank you Halle!
Hi Tressa,
This looks like an awesome cookie, and a very special treat, just waiting for me. Hope you are having a great week and thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday.
Come Back Soon!

Such a great adoption, Tessa! I drooled over those cookies, too. They remind me of Elana’s vegan chocolate chip cookies some. I agree that Jenni has some terrific recipes. I’d like to try many of them, too. Thanks for sharing her with us, Tessa.

I have been eyeing these since you first posted this! Thanks for submitting to HVF
Almond flour pumpkin muffins will be at the top of my list just as soon as the weather cools a bit — fall is just around the corner! Thanks for sharing on Hearth & Soul Hop.
