When back to school time rolled around this year, I was really looking forward to having all that “me time” back again, but now that we’re a month in, I’ll admit that my heart breaks just a tiny bit when I come back home after drop-off to an empty, quiet house. So what’s a mom to do?
Make a super delicious, fun after school snack, that’s what! When the backpacks come off and we all sit down to unwind with these trail mix peanut butter cookies, I get the lowdown on the happenings of the day.

Valentina develops recipes for creative and comforting food that works perfectly for casual entertaining. Both her recipes and food photography have been featured many times on popular food websites and in print. Valentina shares her beautiful photographs as well as new and interesting recipes almost daily on her blog, Cooking on the Weekends.
Outside the worlds of food and photography, Valentina's other passion is her family (including her two young boys, her husband and her puppy, Maple.)
