Welcome to my blog! I’m happy you’re here! I previously had another blog and starting this one on nicolemarlow.com was something that I was going back and forth on, but then I decided, WHY NOT?! It will tie everything together throughout my private chef life and my passion for food. Every week, there will be a new post and (hopefully soon) I will be able to post more frequently!

This week on the menu for some of my rock stars, are these amazing gluten free oatmeal chocolate chip cookies! I was never a fan of oatmeal cookies. I like oatmeal for breakfast and I love granola, but cookies, not so much. Enter this cookie. For one of the families that I cook for, healthy eating is everything and they do like their sweets, so we had to find a common ground. Now what I like about this recipe, is the fact that it has almond butter! I’m all for almond butter and we need a little chocolate to make this cookie delicious. Although I was never a fan of oatmeal cookies, now this cookie is something that I crave more often. It’s quick and easy to make and what’s even better- they freeze very well! Very kid friendly and these families request these cookies every week.

One of the meal plans set for this week include these cookies, Tuscan kale and roasted tomatoes, chicken gyros with tzatziki, and banana bread. SOO delicious!
