If they lose crispness you can pt them in the oven on low to recrisp if needed. I have considered a cookbook but just need to find the time. I hope you enjoy them! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10741830600608488811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-82422965462745792342017-11-05T11:50:26.398-05:002017-11-05T11:50:26.398-05:00Hi, I’m preparing to make these and I have a few q...Hi, I’m preparing to make these and I have a few questions. Do you think the light olive oil is necessary for flavor or texture in the pistachio biscotti? The chocolate chip recipe calls for butter, so I am wondering why the olive oil in this case. The light olive oil is not something I usually buy. Also, someone mentioned hiding them in the freezer. Do they freeze well? Do you need to retoast them once thawed?<br /><br />Very much looking forward to making these! Thanks for bringing back some of your best recipes. It’s great to see them again and be inspired to try them! Have you ever considered creating a cookbook?Cammiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08764223778937692967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-40403183953112110072015-03-09T23:11:42.416-04:002015-03-09T23:11:42.416-04:00Hi Barb,

I had to hide some in the freezer it was disappearing so quickly ;)<br />Thanks for another fantastic treatBarbPnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-68335026195480026492015-03-03T12:54:58.875-05:002015-03-03T12:54:58.875-05:00LOL...how did you know!

As much as I love chocolate chips, I...Hi CyberSis,<br /><br />As much as I love chocolate chips, I must say that this cranberry pistachio version is giving that version a run for its money. But, then again...I am very partial towards cranberries.<br /><br />What a great idea using the leftover cranberries and seeds from the salad mix...we always have that leftover in the fridge because its more than enough for the salads. That's a great way to use it up! <br /><br />That's awesome that you tried out the Power Bagels and Chocolate Chip Cookies on your brother and he LIKED them! That's always a good sign when non grain free folks like it too. I do think it's helpful to actually get to see and taste that the food is actually delicious and not the bland boring stuff they fear or assume it will be. Baby steps...but sounds like you've at least help show him how it can be. Enjoy the visit with your brother! :-)Gourmet Girl Cookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316245779890747698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2285523888432056855.post-16980683751866838282015-02-28T22:59:01.509-05:002015-02-28T22:59:01.509-05:00Hi GGC,

Decisions, Decisions! :-) I agree, the craisins add minimal sugar and I'll be using them, too.<br /><br />In fact, I made your Power Bagels yesterday and used some of the packet of (sweetened) cranberries & seeds that comes with the Costco bagged salad, in place of the Antioxidant Fusion. I cut them up finely, as well. Still yummy, and with just a tiny amount of sugar. I served them to my brother, who is visiting from out of town, and he loved them! :-) A couple days ago we had your chocolate chip cookies, which he also loved. I'm attempting to show him that you're never deprived of good stuff to eat with the WB lifestyle. Thanks to you, I think he's beginning to get the point! :-)CyberSishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12785005260630246224noreply@blogger.com
