afternoon baking

these babies are fresh out of the oven. mexican chocolate snicker doodles from the new-ish cookie book by isa.

chocolatey. chewy. spicy. sugary. yummy.

kale chips

these chips are really tasty and very quick to make. just wash and tear up some kale and toss it with olive oil and sea salt. bake the kale for 10-15 minutes at 350° until crispy. yum!

cashew cheese ball with socca

this was our first foray into the world of homemade nut cheeses. it worked really well and was really easy, too (especially since it was made while i was at work). the socca recipe is from david lebovitz's blog; it's a gluten-free chickpea pancake that is broiled to be kind of crispy.

on another note, i also loved his post about truffle hunting.
