Tips For Eating and Living Well
It’s hard to beat a classic oatmeal chocolate chip cookie — except when you add toasted walnuts to the mix and make the batch vegan! This Oatmeal Walnut Cookie with Chocolate Chips recipe has been living on a post-it note for several months. Everyone I’ve baked them for has asked for the recipe, so I figured it’s time to share it with the public. …
Is anyone else tired of pumpkin spice everything when it comes to fall flavors? This year, I’m all about maple — in my lattes, breads, and cookies! My family and friends have been all about these Maple Pecan Cookies, so I had to break my blog silence and post this recipe for you guys to try. These might be my new favorite cookies! …
You know I can’t go very long without posting a cookie recipe! I’ve been hearing about how delicious cookies are with tahini in them, so I decided to create my own Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies! …
I’ve been teasing my Instagram followers with these Lemon Ginger Cookies for several weeks because I can’t stop making them! I’ve probably made a dozen batches since I first created the recipe in March. I seriously crave them! …

So many people have been enjoying my Chewy Double Ginger Molasses Cookies that I decided to make another version for those people who prefer chocolate desserts. And I gotta say, these mocha cookies may be my new favorite!…
There’s something about the cooler fall weather that makes me crave ginger cookies. I suppose it’s the warmth from the spices or simply the association of gingerbread with the holidays. Either way, a couple of weeks ago I really wanted to make ginger molasses cookies. I looked online for recipes, chose one that sounded good, and adapted it to my liking. What resulted was my new favorite non-chocolate cookie! …
It’s the first day of school, which means I’m doing a happy dance being extra productive today. I can’t believe I thought social distancing would help me focus more on my blog and get more things done around the house. The reality was a lot more quality time with my kids, cleaning up after them, and feeding them (seriously, how do such small humans eat so much?). I did find some time to bake a little after I saw a Feedfeed recipe for chocolate chip cookies containing white miso paste. I was intrigued because I love miso but had never tried it in a dessert. So of course I veganized and healthified the Feedfeed recipe, and the results were fantastic!…
Being a parent to two young kids is no joke. Mornings have become a divide-and-conquer task as we get both kids ready for school. When I have time, I prefer to make smoothies or oatmeal, but both of those must be fed to Luke (or cleaned off of the floor and walls later), which takes up my time when I need to be doing Abby’s hair or making the coffee. I needed something healthier than a handful of Cheerios that Luke could feed himself while I do other things in the kitchen. My solution was to create these delicious, nutrient-dense Breakfast cookies, and I gotta say, they’re pretty fantastic! …

As many of you know, I am currently 22 weeks pregnant with my second child and am trying not to eat everything in sight. As with my first pregnancy, my cravings tend to center around starchy things: potatoes, bread, bread with potatoes on it, and sweet baked goods. If you put a cookie in front of me, I will eat it. So while I’m still making sure I eat super healthful plant-based meals to nourish the baby, my free time is spent looking through recipes and writing down ideas for baked goods that I can make and then shove into my face. I do need extra calories, after all!
A couple of weeks ago I was craving almond cookies, so I made some, tried them, and decided they weren’t very exciting. They needed more flavor and more sweetness, which is where the cinnamon and sugar come in. I love cinnamon and almond butter on toast or apple slices, so why not put cinnamon on almond cookies and call them snickerdoodles???…
As promised in my Feeding Toddlers article, here is the recipe for my Peanut Butter & Jelly Cookies! Aren’t they cute? These babies are no-bake, gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and oil-free. And yet, they’re mini PB & J sandwiches — like “Uncrustables” without the junk ingredients!…
When I was in elementary school, my favorite book to check out from the library was Roald Dahl’s Revolting Recipes, which contained recipes with titles such as, “Snozzcumbers,” “Fresh Mudburgers,” and “Bruce Bogtrotter’s Cake.” My absolute favorite, however, was a dessert called “Stickjaw for Talkative Parents,” which was simply a batch of meringue cookies with a chewy caramel inside each.
Thus began my love for meringue cookies. …
