Almond Butter Cookies
I have a soft spot for desserts that taste indulgent but are surprisingly simple to make. These cookies are one of those recipes I make again and again, and I still love seeing the surprise on people’s faces when I tell them they’re made with only five ingredients.
They’re naturally gluten-free, don’t require a mixer, and come together quickly in just one bowl. Best of all, there’s very little cleanup, making them an easy dessert to keep in your regular rotation.
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with baking paper.
In a large bowl, mix the almond butter, egg, sugar and salt until smooth. Fold in the chocolate chips.
Roll the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one. Gently flatten each ball slightly.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are set. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a rack.
Welcome November! One of the most beautiful Autumns in a while. All at once, branches are brushed with royal purples, raspberry reds, lemony yellows to delight in our walks or travels. A calling to drive or walk through the woods and admire all of nature's glory.

To keep things simple, I love taking a single vegetable and making it the star of the salad. I remember one morning searching through the fridge, and I noticed we had so many cherry tomatoes. I realized that if some of them weren’t used soon, they might never make it to the table.
Ingredients:
3 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
1 cup baby mozzarella balls, drained
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Place the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, red onion, and basil in a large bowl. Drizzle with the olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss gently. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
