    Chocolate Chip Cookies with Pepitas and Cranberry

    Yesterday, was such a lazy day, a chocolate chip cookie baking kind of day.  I worked on a website I am building for a local business, I worked meal planning and recipe testing and then sat around and watched as the kids did homework at a snails pace.  Aaron was out doing paddleboard tours all day and the kids and I were not motivated to leave the house.  Normally, I don't do well with lazy days but we had decided against an east coast day surf trip (luckily we didn't go) and didn't have anything else planned.

    I tested two recipes: chocolate chip cookies loaded with raw pumpkin seeds and cranberries  and a Portuguese dish called Piri-Piri chicken which is Paleo, Whole 30 approved and gluten free (my recipe coming soon but if you can't wait, I was inspired by this recipe)--both were excellent.

    I was in the mood for an autumnal recipe, as even in Florida there is a hint of fall in the air, but I am not a huge fan of pumpkin everything.  I decided to add pepitas (raw pumpkin seeds) and dried cranberries to my favorite cookie recipe.
