By 13, I clearly understood: Thinness was next to Godliness, and I could never achieve either without extraordinary means. Jesus loves skinny people.

My cookie baking knowledge has won me friends and come in handy while navigating food allergies. Here's my delicious vegan and grain-free cookie recipe!

But it will win your mouth's undying gratitude.

If you grew up in a typical Christmas tradition, you probably had the same dinner at Thanksgiving and at Christmas.
