(RED) gifts for mom

Some of you may remember the (RED) campaign from 2006 when Bono and Bobby Shriver founded the organization with a simple mission—to make it easy for people and businesses to join the fight against HIV/AIDS. Personally, I think it's a great campaign and right now the organization is focusing on mothers which of course is near and dear to my heart.

(RED) is offering stylish and affordable gifts that, when purchased, help to provide lifesaving medication to HIV+ pregnant women in need. Medication that will not only save their lives, but will also prevent them from passing the virus to their unborn babies. So this year if you want to buy something for a special mom in your life, why not buy something with meaning?

Here are few options:

For the Mom who likes to snuggle: The (aden + anais)RED Daydream Blanket 

For the mom For the mom who loves jewelry:
the (ALEX AND ANI)RED Kindred Heart Cord Bracelet Collection 

For the mom who likes to cook (me! me!): the (ALESSI)RED collection of designer kitchen items 

For a full list of items to purchase during this year's campaign, visit the (RED) website here.

My favourite cookie recipes

I've been a cookie making machine lately and although I like the oozy, gooey buttery kind, I prefer to make cookies that pack a nutrition punch. I also want them to be easy.

Here is a list of my go-to cookie recipes:

Flourless Almond Butter Cookies from Janet and Greta

I made these with cashew butter and they were heavenly!

Chewy Chocolate Chip Tahini Cookies from Joyous Health

I made these twice in one week they were so good!

Easy Almond Cookies via Oh She Glows and Ricki Heller

I've made these cookies several times and they're always a hit.

Two-ingredient Cookies via Pure Ella

These are super simple to put together an hour before friends come for a visit! Love this one.

Vegan Chocolate Chip Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies via Running with Spoons

Again another super quick one to make if you have the pumpkin on hand.

Grab and go breakfast cookies via How to Eat

My ultimate favourite breakfast cookie. So easy to make and packed full of goodness.

Ok clearly I love cookies and may have a problem :). I hope you get to enjoy one or more of these!

PS: When it calls for sugar I use coconut sugar.
