**note from Oonagh: I met Joy backstage at the Steven and Chris show and was struck by her sweet personality and total commitment to providing the world with healthy deliciousness. Her recipes are a go-to for me and I was really pleased when she agreed to create a menu to match my Cottage Workout. PS. These tahini cookies didn’t last a day in my house. Enjoy! ***
