although we’ve been cooking dinners regularly since we moved into the new place, i haven’t been baking much. most of my extra time has been spent working on projects around the house and garden, and not in the kitchen. it’s amazing how owning a home changes all of my priorities!

well, friends, summer is in full swing up here in seattle, and we’re loving every minute of it!! for us, that means eating a ton of berries (see picture above), and spending lots of time outdoors with friends.
there are three things I’d like to share with you today, dear readers. the first is, and you may have noticed this, I haven’t been writing about anything personal for a long time. probably since graduating in june. that’s because I spent four long months searching for a job, and the whole process sucked. and I didn’t want to bore you with all of the details, because it would have sounded like this: “well, I applied for three jobs this week, went on two informational interviews, revised my résumé five times, went to job club (thank goodness for job club!), and am still waiting for an interview.” boring, right? but I was lucky to have amazing family and friends supporting me along the way, and I was also lucky enough to get offered several jobs. I accepted a job at a great nonprofit that offers high-quality medical services to people who might not otherwise have access to primary care physicians. I’ve been working since november, but have been hesitant to write anything about my job, because it was so new and such a great fit for me (i wrote SO many policy analysis papers on access to affordable health care!) that I didn’t want to jinx anything.
ok, so i know christmas has come and gone, but i didn’t get a chance to make these cookies until christmas day. and i still wanted to share them with you, just in case you want to squeeze in one last batch of holiday cookies.
as many of you know, i’ve been on the lookout for dairy- and gluten-free recipes, since gluten and dairy don’t agree with the stomachs of several good friends and family members. and hey, we could all probably use a little break from gluten and dairy, right?
