Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies
I recently came across this recipe for Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookies on Running To The Kitchen. I was so impressed that I wanted to share it with you because these cookies are definitely going on my “staple cookie” list to be made time and time again. I strongly encourage you to add them to yours!
I did make a few minor changes.
I doubled the recipe because this one only makes 8 cookies, and I simply cannot survive with only 8 of these delicious bites! I mean, 8? What?! We’re gonna need more than 8 cookies for this holiday season.
Also, I made the cookies a touch smaller. This change resulted in twice the amount of cookies as well as ...

Is Quinoa Paleo?
Good question. The answer is "no" - but with all things in life, it tends to be a bit more complicated than that answer would imply.

Lets get started!
Is Quinoa Gluten Free?
Quinoa is different from most typical grains we avoid in paleo - because, yes, it's actually gluten free.
