Wow, it’s been awhile. My excuse: I’ve traded work during naptime for napping during naptime… because, well, I’m growing two humans who are about to arrive any day now and then I chase around a toddler when I’m on the clock. That said, this recipe was developed at the perfect time for me. And I...
Well, it’s safe to say I’m still on a sunbutter kick (as I make my third batch of apple cinnamon sunbutter bites đ ). So when a mama friend of mine was looking for an allergen-free recipe for lactation cookies (also known as “booby bites”), I decided to see if I could come up with...
Considering that peanut allergies are far more common nowadays than when I was growing up, the limited number of nut-free snack options for kids (with the exception of sugary granola bars and starchy crackers) surprises me.

But before you throw in the towel on...
I used to be a crazy big peanut butter fan. In college, the area above the fridge in my dorm room was stocked with at least two huge jars. I would put it on pretty much anything– any type of fruit, granola bars, protein bars, pretzels… you name it, I would layer it on. And...
I admit… I love cookies this time of year… both the baking and the eating.
