Baked Chicken Tenders
What's your favorite comfort food? Mine definitely has to be a big bowl of mac n cheese, however due to my whole trying to be healthy kick, mac n cheese is totally not on my dinner menu. Chicken tenders are probably my second favorite comfort food, and this baked version takes away the guilt that comes along with the fried version. These chicken tenders were super easy to make and were great dipped in some BBQ sauce or ranch dressing. Pair it with some steamed veggies for dinner and you have a pretty healthy but comforting dinner!

Almond Biscotti
What could be better with your morning coffee than a tasty chocolate dipped biscotti! My morning coffee routine was started at a young age, probably somewhere back in high school, when my dad would make coffee for me on the weekends. Looking back, I probably would have benefited more from having coffee on school days instead of the weekend. To go along with our morning coffee, my mom always kept a jar stocked with Nonni's Biscotti on the counter by the coffee pot. My favorite biscotti of all time though definitely was my nonna's homemade biscotti. I saw my nonna make biscotti a few times but never thought to pay close enough attention to exactly how she made them. I knew she used almonds and what tasted like a hint of brandy, so after reading through a few biscotti recipes I came up with this recipe. These biscotti taste just like I remember my nonna's biscotti tasting like. I sweetened them up even more by dipping them in chocolate since I had some extra chocolate chips lying around.
