Biscotti is an Italian twice baked cookie that is great as a morning treat with a cup of coffee or tea, but it’s also delicious on its own (anytime of the day). This cranberry pistachio biscotti recipe is easy to make and keeps well in an airtight container for about a week. The cranberries add a sweet tartness to the cookie while the pistachios give it a slightly salty bite.
Pumpkin is a classic fall flavor and great to serve at Thanksgiving. One of the best ways to enjoy pumpkin is in a cupcake with a generous helping of cream cheese frosting. These pumpkin cupcakes moist and smell amazing while baking in the oven! The aroma from the cinnamon, nutmeg and all spice fills the house with a scent that is warm and comforting. It’s exactly what Thanksgiving should smell like!
Cooking from the pantry: Thai Red Curry and Lychee Smoothie. An affordable and easy meal to prepare on busy weeknights. The curry is flavorful and packed full of vegetables and the lychee smoothie is a refreshing and sweet way to end the meal.
With fall in the air and kids heading back to school I wanted to make cookies that are reminiscent of our childhood. Peanut butter and jelly might be a classic childhood combination but adults also enjoy these two flavors together. It’s nostalgic and just plain good! These peanut butter and jelly oatmeal cookies are the perfect treat to pack in your children’s lunch box, while you’re at it pack a few for yourself too! They’re soft and light. The oatmeal adds a nice texture to the cookies, plus oatmeal is full of fiber and it’s healthy right?! So that cancels out the butter that was used in baking these cookies. (well… not really.) The peanut butter is slightly salty and rich while the strawberry preservatives is sweet and jammy. The best part is that they’re easy to make and will keep for a few days in an air tight container.
Nutella & Reese’s Pieces Cookies – a delicious nod to Taylor Thursday and the movie E.T. The cookies are soft and chewy. They’re not too sweet and the bits of Reese’s Pieces adds a nice crunch and creaminess to the cookies. They’re great plain or with a smear of Nutella. These cookies also make a great base for an ice cream sandwich. It’s so good!
