Superfood Chia Chili from The Thrive Diet: Whole Foods to Thrive

Raw food still baffles me sometimes. This recipe sounded gross, but when all the ingedients were literally just thrown in a bowl and stirred together, I wound up with a totally tastey raw chili. Much lighter... read more >

Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies : page 92

These make a nice, fluffy, cake-y cookie. Very tasty, but not so amazing that I'm ever likely to make them again.

I subbed in honey for the brown rice syrup.

Carrot Raisin Spice Chewies : page 37

These really are spicy, chewy, goodness. And the drizzle on top gets another +10 from me.

Chocolaty Crinkle Cookie : page 43

These didn't crinkle much for me. Not sure who's fault it was. But regardless they were still delicious.

Made these again and they totally crinkled and were perfect. Even more delicious than last time, so it was definitely my fault before!

City Girl Snickerdoodles : page 46

Top notch fatty pants cookies. Somehow crisp and chewy at the same time. So freakin' good.

Coffeehouse Hermits : page 197

Very chewy and rich. A good way to use up that terrible coffee you have sitting in the cupboard.

Espresso Chip Oatmeal Cookies : page 55

These are an intensly coffee flavoured chewy little cookie. And the oatmeal in it lets you pretend it's healthy and not a decadent goo festival!

Green Tea Walnut Biscotti : page 209

My first try at biscotti. They came out a little less crisp than they could have, but it was my fault and they still turned out so delicious. Plus I love baking with matcha, green food is fun food!

Lazy Samoas : page 173

Coconut cookies with a dipped chocolate bottom and drizzle on top. They're amazing, but the coconut cookie is actually so good I wouldn't be shy about leaving out all the chocolate if you want something a little less decadent.

This makes a doughy mocha flavored cookie and tops it with a coffee flavored drizzle. Awesome!

You'd never guess these were vegan shortbread cookies. I really really like the rosewater variation. Perfect for tea parties!

Nice, sweet little orange flavored cookies. I made them for a sugar-free friend.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Pillows : page 147

Any cookie that tastes like what I imagine an edible pillow would taste like gets five stars from me. These are quite labour intensive so plan for some extra time if you want to make these bad boys. Or better yet get a friend or two over for a vegan baking party! Someone can roll the peanut butter balls and someone can roll the chocolate dough around them, like a little vegan factory.

The results for all your efforts are a deliously soft peanut butter center with a chewy chocolate cookie cover.

Peanut Butter Crisscrosses : page 81

A perfectly classic peanut butter cookie. It made me ridiculously happy to make the little fork Crisscrosses on these.

Peanut Butter Oatmeal Cookies : page 67

These give you a crisp cookie. They were good, and they turned out like they were supposed to, but I always feel like I failed when my cookies don't turn out moist and chewy. Guess I'm not a crispy cookie kind of girl.

Pignoli Almond Cookies : page 73

I did a pretty major sub in this. Instead of the almond paste I didn't want to buy I used the almond pulp I had leftover from making almond milk the other day. The cookies turned out great. They are probably a little crisper than they would have been with paste, but it wasn't a bad thing at all. Super almondy goodness in these and the pine nut$ on top were a great investment!

Sell Your Soul Pumpkin Cookies : page 51

I had trouble getting the pumpkin to reduce. Isn't pumpkin already pretty reduced? Anyway, I don't think it mattered, the cookies were still delicious. And with the pumpkin seeds on top they looked like little aliens!

Tahini Lime Cookies : page 60

My favourite cookie out of the book so far. The Tahini gives them such a soft, chewy texture and the lime gives it a great zing!
