Creating Peace and Joy Where it Matters Most
I make these cookies so often it is laughable. The entire family enjoys them. Even my husband, who doesn’t really care for cookies. In fact, I think he asks for them more than anyone. These oatmeal cookies are not overly sweet and full of real food ingredients. The batter itself is pretty good, too. I [...]
Is it mean to post two truffle recipes within a week of each other? I hope not, because that’s exactly what I’m doing! It is the time of year to make them after all. I love chocolate truffles because they are fairly easy to make and also grain free. I’ve been eliminating grains over the [...]
Decadent. Indulgent. Delicious. Chocolate truffles are a very special treat I make once a year or so. Did you know you can infuse chocolate truffles with herbs like peppermint? I didn’t! But thanks to the Herb Farm Cookbook, I am now aware of this delightful little piece of information. Before you click away thinking that [...]
I love roasted almonds. Do you? My family enjoys roasted almonds much more than raw ones. I’m thankful that it is so simple to roast them myself. It’s also not too hard to prepare some fancy spiced nuts that are suitable for gift giving. I’m sharing how to do both at Simple Homemade. Read the [...]

Eating lavender wasn’t something I considered until recently. I’ve always used it in my homemade body products and displayed dried lavender around my home, but had never thought about adding it to food. Obviously I like lavender. It’s in my blog header and on my business cards! I love the color and the rustic look [...]
These are my husband’s favorite brownie. I’ve made lots of different recipes, and this is the one he likes best. I have tried it with whole wheat pastry flour and it works fine. But for an every now and then treat, I just go ahead and use unbleached white flour. I also use white sugar. [...]
The thumbprint cookies pictured above are delicious (and healthy, too). They are a little different to regular thumbprint cookies, with a splash of lemon and a sprinkling on ground almonds. I’m sharing the recipe and a few tips for baking with whole wheat flour at Simple Organic today. Here’s an excerpt: The holiday season often [...]
My daughter has a new favorite cookie. And it’s made with whole wheat flour! Woo hoo! (Recipe below) Thanks to Smart Sweets we have an abundance of healthy treats available that actually taste good. And I don’t have to cringe as I pass the cookies! Isn’t it nice to serve (and eat) sweets that are [...]
