Reduce the guilt this Halloween by trading these chocolates for the candies laden with high-fructose corn syrup and artificial coloring that your kids bring home after trick-or-treating. Use the chocolate shells for homemade sunbutter cups, caramel-filled treats, or any filling your little ghouls desire. A candy thermometer is used here, so make sure to have one on hand.

Tahini is a paste made from ground sesame seeds and is used in a lot of Mediterranean and Middle Eastern recipes. This Greek-inspired side dish quickly became one of my favorite recipes to accompany just about any protein, but it goes exceptionally well with my Mediterranean Braised Lamb (page 176). I could eat it on its own, it’s that good!

I wanted to make a pizza crust that nut- and egg-free kiddos could enjoy, so I created this version, which uses tahini, or sesame seed butter, in the dough where I would typically use almond butter, and chia and flaxseeds in place of the eggs. We always love to have pizza night when we all get to choose own own toppings. In addition to the classic pepperoni, ham and pineapple—which we cut into heart shapes to go with the theme—is a favorite topping at our house. Enjoy the pizza at home or pack it in a lunch box for a delicious nut-free school lunch. Of course, the crust is versatile and can also be used throughout the year.

I was flipping through my third cookbook, Celebrations, last week preparing for Father's Day and I came across this recipe. Naturally, it stopped me in my tracks, and I had an instant craving for it! My Celebrations book is great for holidays, but it's also great for seasonal favorites! This cobbler is in the Father's Day chapter, but it's perfect for any summer night!

Did you know that Peach Cobbler was the overwhelming choice when I polled all of my readers about which summer dessert they would want to see most in Celebrations?? Obviously, it's not just me that feels nostalgic about this dessert and summertime.

When I came up with this recipe, I thought about traditional peach cobbler, and that classic buttery taste came to mind. The ingredients are essentially flour, butter, and sugar. Since none of those are regulars in our household, I had to come up with something that could mimic the buttery consistency. The first alternative I could think of is cashew. The creaminess of cashews makes for a perfect base! Just like the original, it gives you the perfect balance of crispy and soft baked topping. Then the hint of lemon pulls all of the flavors together so well with a decadent finish. This recipe is entirely satisfying, and I don't even miss the real thing!
