Do you have any memories of pecan sandies from a box? I remember the buttery, crumbly, and nutty taste, all in a single bite. Here's my rendition using toasted pecans, maple syrup or honey, and a mix of almond and coconut flour to keep things on the light and slightly crumbly side.
This recipe is free for a week so get it while it's available if you're not a member. And let me know if you try it.
Dough Slicing Tips. While chilling my dough I got to thinking about the best way to slice cookie dough. Here are some cookie dough slicing tips I find helpful.
Shape the log before chilling. Smooth it, roll it, and shape it as you would like it to be after chilling it.
Chill the dough completely for clean slices. Refrigerate the dough logs for at least 2 to 4 hours, or until very firm.
Consider freezing the dough, however it will get very hard if it's been in for a while. You may need to let it sit on the counter for a few minutes before slicing.
Slice it with dental floss, a wire cheese slicer, or a warm, clean knife. I use a sharp knife and rinse it in hot water for a second if it's getting goopy. One decisive downward motion is better than a sawing motion.
Turn the log after each slice, rotating the dough a quarter turn to make sure the sides stay round.
Creamed Kale video. I updated the steps in the Creamed Kale recipe to to include soaking kale in hot water for a few minutes. It really makes a difference, to me at least. And I added video (clicking leads to YouTube).
Gingerbread Dog Biscuits. Every year around the holidays my gingerbread dog biscuit recipe trends, and it's happening again this year. Hugs and kisses to all the doggies out there enjoying homemade biscuits.

Cookies. The holidays are always busy, but if you have time to make just one cookie, it's a great way to get into the holiday spirit.

Cookbooks | Recipes | Videos Skillet Cornbread using corn meal Here's a recipe for gluten-free corn bread that works really well in a skillet. I use a mix of cornmeal and coconut flour, so this recipe is gluten-free but not grain-free. This is a member recipe. You can make any of my no-corn cornbread recipes in a skillet. The trick is to grease the skillet generously with butter or plant-based butter and then warm it up before adding the batter. I have a handful of grain-based recipes, and...
Cookbooks | Recipes | Videos Creamed Kale {dairy-free} Hello! I have a new member recipe and a new free recipe for you this week. Creamed kale is similar but not the same as creamed spinach, and the nutrient profile is a bit different. If you're trying to get more vitamin C, K, and calcium into your body, pivot to kale. I also offer two ways to "tame" kale, meaning get rid of the slight bitterness and tenderize it. They're both easy and so is the recipe. This is a member recipe. Back from the...
