Cookie recipes can be hard sometimes. You need to preheat the oven, mix the ingredients in a certain order, chill and slice the dough sometimes—it’s usually more work than I want to do for a quick sweet fix. I love macaroons since they’re about as easy a cookie as you can make and still have…

Green Bean Almondine Quinoa
Green beans are definitely not the sexiest of vegetables. I think they took a hit in the 50s when green bean casseroles were all the rage and they never really recovered from that. That’s a shame because cooked just right they can be delicious! I love the idea of pairing green beans and almonds. But…
White Chocolate Cherry Almond Bark
After Friday’s post you might be a little sick of hearing about bark but hopefully this recipe will change your mind. White chocolate has been slowly but surely growing on me over the past few months. It’s so sweet and smooth; I don’t love it on its own but with other flavors it’s the perfect…
Triple Nut Bark
Thanks so much for your feedback on my last post; cover photo #2 was the clear winner. I probably would have picked #3 myself so I’m glad I asked and got different opinions. On Sunday I wanted to make bark but couldn’t think of what recipe to make. Then I remembered one I made way…
Salted Chocolate Almond Clusters
I have a slight addiction to chocolate covered almonds. Whenever I get a tub from Trader Joe’s, it doesn’t last long. Sure, they’re somewhat healthy with almonds, but I could put them away like they’re their own food group. Besides, they cost way more than chocolate and almonds should. This was my effort at making…
Chocolate Mint Almond Butter
Have you tried Justin’s chocolate almond butter? Don’t because you might never want to eat anything else. It’s really terrific. I just love the combination of chocolate and almonds; I figured this could only be made better with mint, and I think I was right. This is another super easy do-it-yourself gift for foodies(vegan and…
Double Take: Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies
One of my most popular recipes on this site is the almond flour chocolate chip cookies. I never understood why it was so popular; sure, it’s a good recipe. But it didn’t get too much attention when I posted it and the pictures weren’t that great. It all made sense one day when I realized…
Quinoa With Butternut Squash, Craisins, and Almonds
Last week I watched Forks Over Knives one night during dinner(it’s streaming on Netflix). Have you seen it? It’s a documentary that follows the careers of two scientists studying the effects of a plant-based diet on humans and sharing the comparative data from around the world. It’s a lot of information to take in at…
Raw Chocolate Ganache Tortes
If you’ve been following this blog for any length of time you’d know I’m obsessed with the raw chocolate ganache torte(pictures here) from Wildflour bakery. Time and time again I’ve tried to make my own, but it just never comes out as good as there’s. Until now. I can honestly say this is one of…
Amaretti Biscuit Cookies + Dessert Overload?
I’ve baked more in the past few days than I had all Summer. I love baking but usually I can’t(or rather shouldn’t) eat a whole batch of sweets by myself, so as soon as I get a chance to bake for others I jump at it. Here’s a sneak peak at what’s come out of…
