This is the best lactation cookie recipe that I've tried. It's chewy and chocolaty, and it doesn't skimp on the key lactation ingredients: oatmeal, brewer's yeast, flax, and walnuts.

Chef John's Tomato Tart
This tomato tart has a crispy puff pastry layer topped with sliced sweet summer tomatoes. It tastes amazing! One of these days Michele and I will travel to the south of France, where we'll eat this savory tart at least once a day. It's going to be hot, since we'll have to go in the middle of summer to enjoy best possible tomatoes, but that's fine, as long as there's chilled rosé.
Apple Pancakes
These apple pancakes are perfect for a weekend breakfast or brunch. One batch is never enough for my family! I recommend eating these pancakes with hot cinnamon syrup.
