Almond Butter Cookies

I have a love affair with cookies and prefer them soft, not crunchy.  Although peanut butter cookies are fantastic, I always have almond butter on hand so I thought I’d replace the standard PB.  It adds an extra bit of protein to these fabulous cookies so I can also experience a bit less guilt.

Shirley Temple Cupcakes

Shout out to The Curvy Carrot where I found this fantastic recipe. These cupcakes really do taste like a Shirley Temple. When I was young, I loved this beverage and since I don’t drink alcohol, I’m thinking I may need to revisit it.

Chocolate Almond Espresso Bars

A couple years ago we stayed at the Kingsleigh Inn ­in the Bar Harbour area of Maine. The owners Pamela & Bryan were such gracious hosts and the food they served was AMAZING. These bars were a favorite for me so I had to get the recipe. I’ve adapted it slightly.
