My Secret Recipe Club assignment this month is Mangia.  Chelsy is a young energetic Texas gal, who specializes in healthy, good for you, recipes, especially sweets!  She cooks a lot of gluten free, Paleo, vegan recipes and her blog is full of tasty temptations and witty words~ you are going to want to visit Mangia and see what she’s up to!

I can’t wait to try her P B & J Smoothie made with peanut butter powder, only 110 calories!

I also want to try Sweet and Spicy Parmesan Spoon Bread made with cornmeal and rosemary

For today’s reveal I chose her Gluten Free 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies

    This is one of my favorite cookies to whip up, when my family is craving cookies.They’re so easy to make, and I always have the ingredients on hand. Adding the mini peanut butter cups was a cute idea.
