Cooking is fun. Eating is funner. I cook, photograph and write these recipes.
Everything I post on this blog I make from scratch using fresh wholesome ingredients.. I've been cooking since I was a little kid.
My recipes are based on trial and error, along with studying cookbooks, family recipes, blogs and cooking shows.
Some of the veggies and herbs I use are grown in my garden. Yay sustainability!
I'm working on making my yard into an edible landscape. It's really fun to go out in the garden and pick your veggies for dinner!

Pistachio Cranberry Snowball Cookies
I love pistachios, they’re my favorite nuts of all time. These cookies are so yummy and quick! And they have a “snowy & red & green” theme, which is so pretty and Christmasy.
In a food processor combine 3/4 cup organic powdered sugar, 1 cup organic butter, 1 tsp salt and pulse till combined. Add 1 cup ground pistachios, 1/4 cup dried cranberries and pulse a few times till combined. Now add 2 to 2 1/2 cups organic all purpose flour and pulse just a few times till a bit of a dough ball forms, but most of it is still crumbly. It’s important not to over process the dough or your cookies will be tough.
Now turn the crumbly dough onto a floured work surface and knead together a few times till it all comes together, being careful not to overwork the dough.
Form the dough into a rectangle and place it in a plastic bag in the fridge for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Cut the rectangle into small squares and round out the edges of your squares to make balls. Bake at 350 for 10 minutes till cooked.
Dust with powdered sugar on all sides.
Merry Christmas!
