Pumpkin & Pomegranate

A few months ago there was an episode of No Reservations on the Azores. I had never even heard of the Azores and found it fascinating. I also haven’t been able to get their kale soup out of my mind, so when Matt mentioned a sore throat and that he would like soup for dinner [...]

Yesterday I was feeling in the mood to bake something. I haven’t baked anything in a while and since I decided to opt out of my 7pm yoga class because the sun was so glorious (and I needed to get to bed earlier than I have been) I had time to make these cookies. I [...]
