Lightening things up in the middle of gluttony season!!

NEW VIDEO!!!! Being a good Seattleite, I LOVE roasted salmon and the addition of the Walnut sauce is so good!

I just love the versatility of risotto! And this dish is all dressed up for fall with the chunks of fresh butternut squash and fresh herbal flavor of thyme.

This is a recipe that was in rotation this summer at our house and came from an accident! What an unexpected delight these were! I am so used to enjoying tahini in a savory way, but it also works so well in a sweet way! I love these crispy, sugary coated, chewy sesame cookies and I really think you will too!
