Maybe it’s just a perfect cookie.AB&J (Almond Butter and Jam) CookiesBy Life and Health NetworkDisclaimer: your children will love this recipe.

If you and your children are fans of PB&J, you’ll love this cookie.Zesty Tomato-Basil BruschettaBy Life and Health NetworkMost people love and remember bruschetta for its bright, fresh tomato and basil components, not so much for the sprinkle of cheese on top.
