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.

Yield: 18 cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup natural almond butter

1 egg

2/3 cup sugar

2/3 cup dark chocolate chips

Pinch of kosher salt

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.

ENJOY

November Open Thread 2026

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.

Enjoy coffee or tea to start your day!

Gaze upward from the base of a tree with a change of perspective in Nature's beauty. Nature's brush of colors, textures in a glorious unity.

Coffee or tea on the house today, what will it be?

Turkey or ham or both?

Snuggle and being closer to family and
gatherings once again

Binge on trilogies as it gets colder with first snows and frosts.

Try something new such as journaling. Free the mind and unlock the creativity within. Some might say it's freewriting or daily affirmations. Some are working on projects

continuously, burning the creativity oil to make that deadline or goal. Finish it strong!

Don't forget to enjoy the little things when

life seems to go too fast, keep the wonder and the splendor. Smile more, laugh more.

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Cherry tomatoes salad

Cherry tomatoes salad

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.

I cut them into quarters, added some fresh herbs and a few simple seasonings, and suddenly there was a salad. At that occasion, I was serving it with a meat meal, but another time my daughter discovered that adding baby mozzarella balls gave the salad a little more oomph, along with some well-loved protein.

Yield: 4-6 Servings

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.

ENJOY
