I love having the kids home (on and off) for the holidays. Besides all of the holiday traditional foods, I love to make their favorites. I do believe my go-to oatmeal cookies recipe was the first cookies the twins ate and 23 years later, they are still the ones I bake when they come home. And I bake them a lot just to have in…

When spring rolls around, we have a few staples that come out of the recipe box. One of those is tabouli. We love the flavor, the texture, and how many different ways it can be served. Traditionally, spelt Tabbouleh is a Levantine vegetarian salad made with chopped vegetables and soaked bulgur. I swapped out the bulgur years ago and made a couscous tabouli recipe simply…
