Made these to give out for thanksgiving and for traveling on Amtrak. They are chewy, delish and love the nuts. I also added some cardamom just for more subtle spice flavor. They store well in tin cookie bins. Thank you for another great cookie recipe.

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

Something happens to them in the oven ~ their flavor just explodes. Almond flour (loving Bob's Red Mill Superfine Almond flour for baking) gives the shortbread...

You've had it before, but not like this 🍓

Hey friends❣️ This one's just strawberries, buttermilk, and quiet perfection. Strawberry Buttermilk Ice Cream The first homemade ice cream of summer is a big deal for me. I'm a kid again as I watch it magically churn away in my ice cream machine. I always take a taste as it's churning ~ just for quality assurance ;) (No worries if you don't have the machine, I give no-churn instructions too.) fine the one I use here Buttermilk is one of our favorite ingredients in the Great Island kitchen, I...
