I’m all about the unique flavor combinations and this cookie falls right in that category. Orange and Walnut? Sure. Orange and Chocolate? A classic. Throw in some sea salt? Hmmm. Now we’re getting a little stranger. Add them all together? Brilliant. Worked out really well and I am pleased with the experiment. Don’t worry, they aren’t all that salty, but the salt does bring out the other flavors. Yum.

I’m often asked if I can “adjust my recipes” for people to make them “gluten free”. Well, unfortunately not. It’s not quite so easy, and because I am not a celiac, I don’t really have a reason to eat GF. I actually have very strong opinions of eating gluten free, but will save those for another day. At any rate, there *are* recipes that are naturally gluten free. This is one of them. Made of cashew butter, eggs, brown sugar, baking soda and chocolate chips, there is no wheat-based flour to be found. They are yummy, but a little on the crumbly side. Nevertheless, a good snack.
I’m still on a little bit of my meyer lemon kick, which I am finding the last of them in the shops for the season. Over Easter Weekend, I made this lovely little Meyer Lemon and Pistachios Tart. It almost looks like the pistachios are covered in a light dusting of snow, which would be appropriate for Spring in New England.
While I am throwing M&Ms into treats, I thought I would make some “Don’t Call it Chex” Snack Mix. It is Chex Mix though. But yummier, imo, than your standard stuff. The honey and Worcestershire sauce give it a nice tangy sweetness. The almonds and peanut M&Ms a nutty crunch. Great for nibbling. Obviously I used the springtime / Easter M&Ms, given the season, but go for the regular colors the rest of the year.
