Use ANY nut butter you like. I used toasted cashew, pumpkin, and almond butters, plus raw hemp butter. See my nut nutritional analysis. You'll need altogether 1 1/2 cups nut ...

This recipe makes 20 giant cookies, enough to freeze for a rainy day. A food processor or blender is helpful but not required. Breakfast cookies are a dime a dozen.

Addicted to coffee? A healthy brew!

Boost Immunity with Creamy Golden Milk

Spike your day and uplift your immune system with this delicious 3-minute snack! Turmeric health benefits are widely publicized, and Golden Milk is all the rage.
