Peanut Butter, Banana Breakfast Cookie
Easy, and convenient breakfast options are popular in our house, and this one is at the top of our list. Easy to mix up, and bake, we also discovered that the cookie dough freezes well, and you can take it right out of the freezer into the oven for a super convenient option, in about the time it takes to make your morning coffee.
Chocolate Chip Cookies
In searching for the "best" chocolate chip cookie recipe ever, I ran into several candidates (e.g., Original Toll House Cookie), but the Jacques Torres recipe stood out for me due to the gourmet nature of the recipe and ingredients. When making these cookies, keep the following points in mind: Turn any chocolate discs that are poking up from the dough horizontally so that they melt evenly into the cookie. If you want your cookies to have a cake-like texture, replace one of the eggs with 2 egg yolks. Try different high-end brown sugar options to see which one matches your palate - e.g., turbinado, demerara, or muscovado. Get creative! Add your favorite nuts, raisins, or other sweet dried fruits for a personal flavor.

Avocado, Kale & Arugula Chop Salad
This is our new favorite salad recipe. We've experimented with several modifications and have decided that you can do almost anything and it tastes great. Note: since the dressing makes extra (probably enough for 2-3 salads) you could easily double the salad if you're serving a larger crowd/want extras for the week. however, if you're making extra for a weeklong salad, add the avocado and peach as you go, they won't last tossed in the salad at the beginning of the week. (Serves 4 as a side, 2 as a main)

Thanks (again) to our friend Trish for recommending this recipe. The key is the slightly spicy Fresno Chili Simple Syrup, which we make at home for purposes of this cocktail.
