Cinnamon Cookies. Vegan and Gluten Free | Knead to Cook.

I know, I know… it’s not Thanksgiving yet and I’m posting a picture of Santa. I hate that but my reasoning is simple – I’m thinking these cookies would be perfect for the holidays. They are cinnamony (yes, I made up that word) and perfect. Crunchy on the outside and chewy in the center. Gluten and nut free and vegan. Yummm.

A little background on how these cookies came to be. I had an eye appointment on Tuesday and stopped at my favorite, larger grocery store, up by my doc’s office that I rarely get to go to. I stumbled upon this magnificent beauty and started thinking about what wonderful creation could emerge from the use of this find. These cookies are the perfect culmination of ingredients. I don’t normally eat cookies but did tap into the stash quite a few times this week. Ooooopps!

Balsamic Dijon Brussels Sprouts | Knead to Cook

My very first post on my new blog. I hope you love the format and style. Peanut Butter and Jenny and I worked tremendously hard on every single aspect of what you see. I swear it’s like building a house. Okay so back to business. I made this side dish on Sunday and proceeded to eat it all. I’m embarrassed but maybe not. I do this all the time. So I’m way behind on posts so let me get to it!

Smoked Sesame Tempeh by Knead to Cook.

Happy November!! I can’t believe we’re in the month of Thanksgiving. I mean Christmas is NEXT month. I’m trying to breathe because I’m normally on top of gifts etc. by now but this year is just different. Trying to mix things up this year…we shall see how this works out.

I hope you Halloween was super fun! My oldest and her boyfriend took my youngest trick or treating. We went through about 25 lbs of candy – Happy to report that not one piece was consumed by me. Friday my husband took off so we went to the farmer’s market early. Took the dogs for walks and enjoyed the day after a really hard week. Saturday was my rest day and then Sunday it was crazy windy and despite my desire to ride – I opted to run. My husband rode his bike. The winds were in excess of 20 mph. I’ll admit – it was a hard 7 miler but I got it done. Then we enjoyed watching the NYC marathon and then football the rest of the day and cooking.

Yesterday I was in a mood for tempeh and wanted to cook it in a different manner. The end result was really good and my husband and I pretty much ate it all. I hope you enjoy this recipe and give it a try.
