Who said tasty can’t be healthy! These little veggie bites really pack a flavor punch along with a fiber punch. Using Lima beans as the base, I pureed them up to make a creamy sweet spread. Add some roasted tomatoes and a sprinkle of cheese and you have the makings of a very good and healthy appetizer. Put a little hard boiled chopped up eggs, and this would also make a great breakfast.

Years ago when we were young my mother would organize cookie making days during the Christmas season. She had a ton of wonderful cookie recipes that my sisters and I would make with her – it was so much fun!

What made it even more special is that I spent the day making these with my friend Kristin. Thank you Kristin for opening up your kitchen for a special day of cookie-baking! Continue reading
