Whole wheat cookies/4 recipes

Forget the store-bought granola bars that are always way too sweet and not necessarily as healthy as you think. Making your own is always the way to go, these granol bars are made with almonds, almond butter, chocolate and oats; absolutely easy to make, and they can be a filling, nutritious and delicious grab-n-go breakfast or a handy snack.

Gruyère Whole Wheat Biscuits with Herbs recipe

Gingersnaps are always liked by us, because of the classic tangy flavor. Make your own freshly baked cookies at home, they taste better and fresher.

Almost Whole Wheat Lemon Poppyseed Muffins recipe

Pineapple stuffed empanadas. A delicate pastry style dough with a filling of pineapple and apricot jam. Perfect for afternoon tea or healthy snacks for the kids or guests.

Quick, easy and delicious. Made this dish for lunch earlier today, it was very tasty, and we really enjoyed it.

Whole roasting a chicken is a great way to economize. This herb roasted chicken always turns out moist and juicy with great flavor. I then package the leftover meat one cup at a time into zipper bags and store in the freezer for later use in casseroles or hashes. Then using the remains I made a homemade chicken stock that is much better than any store bought stock.

This recipe is over 100 years old. I add a twist to the recipe (and a little sweetness) by adding some golden raisins, like my favorite restaurant in Provincetown, Mass., does.

Whole Grain Sweet Potato Biscuits recipe

Hmmm, these cookies were so good. Nothing is like chocolate chip peanut butter cookie, just by reading these words is making me salivate. These cookies were so easy to make, and tasted absolutely delicious. I don't have to say much, you know what I mean :)

The goat cheese mellows the pepperiness of the mixed greens, and the beets offer a sweet contrast to its bitter quality. Chopped walnuts add a little more texture to the salad. Tasty!

A hearty vegetarian version of my favorite soup. It's easy to make it vegetarian by using roasted vegetable stock instead of beef stock. By adding a leftover parmesan rind (I save them in the freezer for this soup) it adds extra flavor. (optional)

With a bit of dry sherry, this pasta dish is perfect for a date or a night with your significant other.

Instead of letting the Gingerbread Man run away, these scrumptious cookies will make your kids run to the kitchen!
