“Healthy” Brownies Made With Avocado and Dates are exactly as advertised — brownies made with avocados and dates! Wow! It’s been a month since I posted? Really? It doesn’t feel like it, and I really don’t have a reason. Life is just happening these days. I’m teaching a summer course. I just accepted a consulting…

These Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Cookies are the result of weeks of testing during the quarantine. I was not testing the “perfect” chocolate chip cookie recipe ever, but my family’s favorite one. Over the past three weeks, I have tried to blog so many times but been unable to muster the energy. I don’t know…
