Old Fashioned Sweet Potato Pie

Grain Free Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mmmm, Grain Free Chocolate Chip Cookies. This is the second plant-based dessert recipe we've made since watching Forks over Knives. I call these grain free chocolate chip cookies "plant-based", but the chocolate chips do have a little bit of milk in them, so it's not 100%... (see the full recipe!)
