Apricot-Apple Chicken Salad

Today’s post is about more than just a delicious, healthy chicken salad recipe … I’ve got some exciting news to share with you!

No, I’m not pregnant. (LOL!) But I do have a birth announcement (of sorts) to share … the birth of a brand new website.

FTF-300x250My dear friends Pat and Ruth Schwenk (The Better Mom) are the proud parents of an amazing new site – For the Family – dedicated to encouraging and equipping families to build God-honoring homes for the glory of God.

And here’s the fun part – they’ve asked me to serve alongside them once again, this time as the Food Section Editor for this wonderful new site. So each Saturday, you’ll find a new whole food recipe from one of four real foodie contributors – Diana at My Humble Kitchen, Katie at Simple Foody, Tiffany at Don’t Waste the Crumbs and yours truly here at The Nourishing Home.

The real foodie team’s goal … to inspire more families to enjoy healthy wholesome food centered around building family traditions, sharing fellowship with others and living healthier lives in service to the King.

We hope you’ll take a moment to subscribe to For the Family, as we know you and your whole family will be beyond blessed by the wisdom and encouragement shared by this amazingly talented team of men and women who faithfully love and serve the Lord!

Oh! The chicken salad recipe … I’m pleased to share this delicious, easy-to-make recipe, as well as a couple of my favorite strategies for getting kids to broaden their healthy lunchbox horizons. So please pop on over to check it out, and best of all, I encourage you to enjoy a daily dose of the rich spiritual nourishment this wonderful site provides!

Joyfully Serving HIM, Kelly

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies (GF)

By Kelly · 6 Comments

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies TNH
Every kid wants a cookie in his lunchbox – and let’s face it, so do most of us adults too! That’s why, I enjoy creating healthier treats that taste great without compromising good nutrition.

With back-to-school just around the corner, I thought it would be a great time to share this new-found favorite with you and your kiddos. These oh-so-chocolately cookies are a simple variation of my ever-popular Almond Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies recipe.

Super convenient – they can be frozen and placed directly into your child’s lunchbox for a quick and easy lunchbox treat that keeps both of you smiling!

Double Chocolate Chip Cookies (GF)

Yield: 1 1/2 dozen cookies

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup butter, softened
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup rapadura (or coconut sugar)
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened fair trade cacao powder
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 scant tsp sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups blanched almond flour
  • 3/4 cup fair trade chocolate chips (65% cacao or higher)
  • 1/2 cup crispy walnut pieces (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
  2. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, mix together the butter, coconut oil and rapadura in a large bowl until very creamy (like frosting).
  3. Next, add the cocoa powder, vanilla and egg, mixing until well incorporated.
  4. Mix in the baking soda and salt. Then, slowly mix in the blanched almond flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until well blended.
  5. Using a spoon, fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts, if using.
  6. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about three-inches apart on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet. (For thinner, flatter cookies, use your fingers or palm of your hand to flatten the dough balls just a bit.)
  7. Bake approximately 9-10 minutes. Allow to cool for a couple of minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

Time-Saving Tip: For quick, healthy lunchbox treats, freeze the cookies right on the baking sheet and then transfer frozen cookies to a freezer-safe container. Then you can easily take out what you need and place directly into your child’s lunchbox – no need to thaw.
