Romesco sauce is made from roasted red pepper and almonds, comes from Northeastern Spain and was developed for use on fish by the fishermen in the area. The bon appetit recipe I used also suggests trying it on turkey. This sauce can also be used on vegetables or grains just as well. I decided to…

These cookies are surprisingly awesome! I think it’s the combination of sweet raisins and crunchy walnuts that really makes them spectacular. These cookies came out of the oven soft and stayed soft in our cookie tin for the next few days. Taste better than some cookie recipes without vegetables, in my opinion. Yum! 1/2 cup…

These cookies are wonderfully moist and very reminiscent of banana bread. I think the walnuts play a big part in the flavor combo here. The balls of cookie dough didn’t flatten while cooking like I expected, so a little flattening with a fork was needed before baking so they would cook all the way through.…
