Lacy Oatmeal Cookies

This is a great recipe and it's is so simple. I changed it up a bit. I substituted almonds and left some of them fairly chunky. I also added dried diced apricots to the dry ingredients along with about 1/2 cup sesame seeds. After cooling I added some melted dark chocolate and dropped a bit on top of each cookie. I then added a sliver of dry apricot to rest on top of the chocolate. They looked smashing and they had an excellent flavor.

Warm Chévre and Apple Rings with Manitoba Hemp Seed Oil Vinaigrette

A truly amazing combination of flavors. The dressing is divine, the warm and tart goat cheese combined with the sweetness of apple ring is truly out of this world.
