sweet miscellany

As we near the Christmas holiday, I decided to squeeze in one last post before taking some time off. It’s my most recent collaboration with Loam Agronomics and their lovely farm fresh CSA share I have the pleasure of receiving every week. It’s a super easy and cozy soup customizable to what you’ve got at home. It’s one of those recipes where you toss everything into one pot and end up with a comforting and nourishing bowl of goodness. Use whatever greens you’ve got available (spinach, chard, kale, mustards, beet greens, etc.) and if you don’t have celery, just use the stalks of your greens! For a bit of brightness, the soup is topped with a cilantro pistou but you could sub in another tender herb like basil, parsley, or lemon balm. Head over to the Loam site for the full recipe.

Have a very lovely holiday friends 🙂

I’ve been meaning to post a sandwich cookie on here for the past few years. But life happens and I get side-tracked easily. Also, I sometimes get lazy when a recipe involves too many steps. But it’s the holidays and I thought you deserved to have this recipe in your life.

I took the idea of an oreo, omitted the fake chemical bullshit, made it actually taste good, then put my usual vegan/gluten free spin on it. I thought about going with a traditional white cream filling but the peanut butter was calling my name as soon as the cookies came out of the oven. The entire recipe involves 10 ingredients total, one of which is salt. And, you can make them as fussy or as un-fussy as you want. For example, I didn’t take the time to smooth out the filling spilling over the sides. But they were still delicious albeit a little rustic looking 😉

These cookies keep well for a few days in an airtight container so they are well suited for gifting, but they can also be shared with family and friends over some laughs. Or, maybe you put your jammies on, cozy up on the couch with a movie, and eat these babies solo. Though the recipe requires a few more steps than a simple drop cookie, they are well worth the effort.
