Chewy Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies with Black and White Chocolate Chips

featured 36602

I love sandwiches. And I love cookies. But would I prefer sandwiches inside my cookies or cookies inside my sandwiches? I’ll admit I’m more likely to say the latter—cookies tucked into a sandwich sounds irresistible. Most of my go-to savory sandwiches involve crisp bacon, toasted bread, a smear of aioli and a soft-poached egg. That … Read more

The times I get genuinely excited about a BLT chopped salad are rare. This is one of those times. I don’t usually use the word “stoked,” but this salad might deserve it. A BLT chopped salad hits all the right notes for me. This salad is so good. I’ve talked before about my love for … Read more

I’m deep into the whole roasted fruit phase — and it’s getting out of hand. And the salads. I can’t stop making them. Not that I’m complaining. Well, yes I am — that’s my default setting — but these salads are actually great. Especially versions like this one that skip heavy add-ins like cheese and … Read more

Homemade Creamy Vanilla Bean Cashew Milk Recipe

featured 23057

Say hello to a self-proclaimed milk snob. That’s me. Ever since I was a kid I disliked milk. The smell and taste made me queasy, so I rarely drank it straight. The only times I accepted milk were in a milkshake, hot chocolate, a little poured over cereal, or in Quaker strawberries and cream oatmeal. … Read more

Only a couple of months, but long enough. I’ve missed them. There’s dinner in a slow cooker, right there. Short … Read more

There was a … Read more

featured 28817

This ice cream is a little embarrassing to admit. I may have sampled my way through every spoon in the utensil drawer while making it. Not proud of that, but true — I kept sneaking spoonfuls until I realized every single spoon was in the dishwasher. The small teaspoons, the larger spoons, every single one … Read more
