OUR DAY HAS COME, MY PINISHERS.
Like a true procrastinator, I have somehow ended up composing this first historic post at 11:51PM the night before the link-up dawns. The link-up that goes live in nine minutes. See? Low standards. (For more on the importance of setting reasonable expectations of yourself, see this overview of the Pinisher creed.)
I forgot to try the thing I’d said I would try (rinsing berries in vinegar to preserve their freshness), so instead I pinned a thing I did three days ago, which was make gluten-free chocolate chip cookies. Because this week’s theme is FOOD.

My husband has gone gluten-free and has really been sticking to it despite his wife’s intermittent commitment to preparing gluten-free meals. He enjoys cooking and especially loves grilling, but during the week he gets home past dinner time and it’s hard for him to help out. Which is why I feel all the more guilty about the days when dinner was basically “find your own ramen.” In my defense, I present Exhibit A: Children’s Activities Every Single Night.
Anyway, I was proud of him for toughing it out for the last couple of weeks, so I found this gluten-free chocolate chip cookie recipe. I’d invested—and I do mean invested—in King Arthur’s gluten-free baking mix, and the recipe basically lets you swap it out for regular flour in a traditional chocolate chip cookie recipe, plus the addition of xanthan gum, which is totally a thing now, you guys. Everyone’s trying it.
We were fairly pleased with the cookies. The texture was just a little “off,” but they tasted pretty much like regular cookies. I pinned it after the fact so that I won’t forget the recipe.
It’s midnight, Pinishas!!! Time to link it up! If you’d like to use a handy-dandy template for your post, here’s the basic template, and here’s a special version for this week’s food-themed badge. (And here’s how to use the templates.)
If you just want the snazzy food-themed badge, here’s the code to copy and paste. Make sure you’re in HTML mode (switch to the tab that says “Text” or “HTML” in your blogging editor) and not regular composition mode.
Don’t forget to stop by next week – theme will be “Home.”
