Healthy Salt and Pepper Shortbread Cookies
The soft crumble of a shortbread biscuit in your mouth followed by a sip of perfectly hot Earl Grey tea.
A mid-morning of bliss that melts away worry and makes you feel happier in general about things.
Even more happy to know the biscuit or cookie that you are munching is GOOD FOR YOU! It is hard to imagine maybe but almonds, coconut oil, and a bit of honey are all that is required to make a healthy cookie.
A cookie with healing powers, protein, and the ability to make your skin glow. Maybe I will have another?
Give these beauties a try! The interesting after flavour of sea salt and black pepper makes these quite intriguing, I bet you are curious. And super easy to make.

I am looking at your piece in the magazine Thrive. Issue number 12. Beautiful and so appealing.
Your food looks incredible! I would love to get the recipe for the pecan loaf I see on page one of your article. Do I need to buy your cookbook? Aside from that,
I am primarily looking for more vegan entrees and fewer desserts.
Thanks so much!!
