  • Mint Matcha Chocolate Chip Cookies

    Mint Matcha Chocolate Chip Cookies

    These fun and festive green cookies are naturally colored with matcha and spirulina, and the minty flavor (with a subtle hint of the green tea) is a big hit! I like to add chocolate chips and bake them just until they start to brown on the bottom, which results in a soft, chewy cookie. Featured…

    Caramel Almond Cake

  • Airy Aquafaba Chocolate Mousse

    Airy Aquafaba Chocolate Mousse

    I was never a big fan of aquafaba until I started canning my own chickpeas. I think the extra soaking and not including any salt in the jars makes for a better tasting aquafaba in desserts like this chocolate mousse. It whips up fairly quickly in a stand mixer, and is best served chilled (or…
