This recipe is from my friend Haley

5 Strawberries
4 ice cubes
1/4 cup of water
2 teaspoons of lemon juice (depending on how lemony you want your slushies)
sugar (how much you want!!!)

Put ice cubes in a blender and blend until all crushed up. (If it does not crush, put water in, and if it still does not, add all the ingredients and blend.) Add the strawberries, water, lemon juice, sugar, and blend until all blended up. Put in a tall glass, stick a straw in it, and enjoy! Serves one.

This recipe is from my friend Haley. It uses Almond Flour!

CRUST:

1 1/2 cups Almond Flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 Tablespoon agave nectar
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

TOPPING:

1/4 cup grapeseed oil
1/4 cup agave nectar
3 large eggs
1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Preheat the oven to 350.

Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with grapeseed oil and dust with flour.

To make crust, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk together the oil, agave, and vanilla. Stir the wet ingredients into the flour mixture until thoroughly combined. Press the dough into the prepared baking dish. Bake for fifteen to seventeen minutes, until it is a lightly golden color.

While the crust bakes, prepare the topping. In a blender, combine the grapeseed oil, agave nectar, eggs, and lemon juice. Process on high until smooth. Remove the crust from the oven. Pour the topping evenly over the hot crust.

Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the topping is golden. Let cool in the baking dish for 30 minutes, then refrigerate for 2 hours to set. Cut in to bars and serve. Enjoy!

These cookies are very simple and easy to make. They involve very few ingredients and are very good with a tall glass of milk.

1 cup butter (2 sticks)
1 egg
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 cup brown sugar

Cream butter and brown sugar. Add egg and vanilla and beat well. Mix together dry ingredients and add, combining well. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet then sprinkle each of them with some of the 1/8 cup of brown sugar. Bake in 350-degree oven for 6 to 8 minutes. The cookies will puff and then flatten. Makes 4 dozen.
