• strawberry flax muffins

  

  Greetings! I usually consider muffins to be more like a breakfast item rather than a dessert, but these muffins…these muffins can certainly pass as dessert, even with the healthier ingredients!

• kalamata olive cookies

  

  The last time I made something sweet with Kalamata olives was when I put them in brownies! I understood completely the somewhat negative reactions of some coworkers, because I myself had mixed feelings initially. But I grew to like them in brownies, and I feel that these might be easier for people to handle. I […]

• saffron almond olive oil cookies

  

  I was hoping to make cookies, but did not have any butter. I did have extra virgin olive oil, though. So I went searching online, which is what I always do, for recipes or inspiration. Sometimes both. This is a recipe from Mark Bittman. I did not have zest, or juice, but I did have […]
