Hey friends!!
First off — my Patreon video is UP! The questions from this week were:
What’s a blogger’s daily routine?
Faith in Hard Times.
And binge eating in recovery!
Check it out here!
It’s official. We’ve entered…PICNIC SEASON!
Yep, every spring one of my all time favorite things to do is to pack a lunch, head to the river and have a picnic in the park with my friends. It’s so beautiful, it’s so fun, AND I get to shower my friends with some yummy homemade treats!
Like these little delightful goodies!
CRANBERRY PISTACHIO COOKIES!!!
They’re Gluten Free, Vegan, and Specific Carb Diet friendly, and paleo!
Oh my gosh these were amazing. I ate the entire batch myself!! And I’m not ashamed!! 😀
Here’s what you need: (Makes ~6 cookies)
1/4 cup almonds
1/4 cup pistachios
4 dates
1/8 cup dried cranberries (unsweetened)
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Garnish:
1/8 cup pistachios, rough chop
1/8 cup dried cranberries, rough chop
Tools:
Food Processor
Good Chef’s Knife (This is the one I use and love)
Directions:
You ready for the easiest directions ever?!? THROW EVERYTHING IN THE FOOD PROCESSOR AND BLITZ THEM UP!! That’s it!! Let it run for about 1-2 minutes until a ball forms. Then, roll roughly a Tbsp of the dough into a ball, and then roll in the chopped pistachios and cranberries. Chill for at least an hour…or dig in right away if you can’t resist!
How amazing were these cookies…let me count thy ways! They were wonderfully chewy, with a nice crunch from the chopped pistachio coating. They were sweet and nutty with a slight tang from the cranberries! They were absolutely wonderful!
And so pretty too! The red and green made these so whimsical and fun! They looked like they were “bejeweled” or “bedazzled!” They’d be great for Christmas too!
They were gone before I could give any away to my friends or doormen! Oops! Looks like I’ll be making another batch this weekend!

Thank you so much!!! Yes! me too – they’re the best nut if you ask me!!! 🙂 Hope you enjoy!! 🙂 hugs xo
I’m praying for great success for you so I have a suggestion. I know you have an expanding reach but here’s another idea.
Try the new site Parler. It’s a conservative alternative to Twitter. The people are very engaged and I think you’ll find another very welcoming audience for your platform. It’s new but looks like it will grow quickly.
Oh, and the cranberry cookies look spectacular
oh thank you so much! and interesting! i’ll have to check it out!! thanks for the recco!! 🙂 hugs xo

Looks yummy! Love cranberries and pistachios but have not tried this combo. And healthy too. Beats having a Snicker bar!:) Lol.

This is my kind of recipe. “Throw it in a blitz it up” gave me a good chuckle. You can form one into the shape of a little person and call it “Augustine of Cran(ter)-berry”. Are you planning (or have you already) compiled these weekly recipe posts into a cookbook?
Thanks so much Scoot! Hahaha cranterberry!! That’s hysterical!! Oh gosh you’re nice to say that – we’ll see!! 🙂 thanks for the encouragement! Hugs and love xox
Please send me some 🙂
