Starting the week off right with my favorite healt

Starting the week off right with my favorite healthy blueberry-banana muffins. Jackson and I just made a batch when he got home from school. They’re my current favorite quick breakfast or afternoon snack. The recipe includes whole wheat & almond flour (but you could totally use AP or GF flour too), ripe bananas, Greek yogurt, a touch of maple syrup for sweetness, plus loads of blueberries. The recipe is family friendly, made in one bowl & perfect for baking with your kiddos 🫐🍌 Printable recipe on my site👆🏼

✨HEALTHY BLUEBERRY BANANA MUFFINS
2 very ripe bananas
¼ cup pure maple syrup
2 eggs
½ cup plain Greek yogurt (I like full fat) or non-dairy yogurt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup + 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour or use AP or GF flour
¾ cup almond flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ cup avocado oil, or another neutral flavored oil
1½ cups fresh or frozen blueberries
¼ cup maple sugar, turbinado or brown sugar for topping

Preheat the oven to 375°F. Mix the bananas, maple syrup, eggs, yogurt and vanilla together until smooth, with a few lumps. Add a large pinch of the whole wheat flour to the blueberries, tossing to coat. Add the rest of the flour, almond flour, and remaining dry ingredients to the banana mixture, whisking until smooth. Fold in the blueberries. Line a muffin tin with liners - I like to use two tins and fill every other hole for higher topped, more bakery style muffins. Bake for 16 to 19 minutes. Enjoy!

I spent the weekend in LA with one of my best girlfriends. We ate, we drank, we shopped, and we enjoyed every drop of sunshine while it was freezing cold at home. Here are a few of our favorite spots.

A last minute, easy treat to make for Santa tonigh

A last minute, easy treat to make for Santa tonight, made with the best @yesapples from NY state. You only need a few pantry staples + two sweet apples to make these simple & delicious apple-pretzel wreaths. Merry Christmas Eve 🎄🍎🍏

APPLE-PRETZEL WREATHS
1 bag mini pretzels
1½ cups white chocolate chips
¼ cup dark chocolate chips
1 small red apple, diced into ½-inch pieces – we recommend Empire or Macoun
1 small yellow or green apple, diced into ½ inch pieces – we recommend Golden Delicious or Ginger Gold
¼ cup powdered sugar

Melt the chocolate in a bowl in the microwave on short, 30 second bursts, stirring in between each time, until it is just melted – try not to overheat it; it can burn easily. Set both chocolates aside.
Place a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet. Lay one payer of 7 pretzels in a circle, slightly spaced out, and then top with a second layer of 6 pretzels, snugly touching each other. Make sure that all of the pretzels are facing the same direction. Drizzle each wreath with a good amount of white chocolate, making sure that it drips down to the bottom layer of pretzels. Next drizzle the dark chocolate on top of the white chocolate. Add your apples, skin side up for maximum color.
Place the wreaths into the refrigerator to set for 5 minutes. Once the wreaths are set using a fine strainer, dust the wreaths with the powdered sugar. Serve on your holiday table and enjoy!

Need a last minute hostess gift? I've got you cove

Need a last minute hostess gift? I've got you covered. I'm sharing my signature spicy cocktail nut recipe - it's been requested more times than I can count. The nuts are seriously addicting and they make the best holiday gift for friends, teachers, neighbors and family. Don’t be scared by the aqua faba (chickpea liquid) in the recipe. It helps the spices stick to the nuts. Traditionally egg whites are used, but I found that the aqua faba stays crunchier longer, especially in humid enviornments, and it’s plant based. You can eat the leftover chickpeas on a salad, roast them until crispy, or make hummus with them.

Ingredients:
Nuts:
3 cups each: whole almonds, pecans, shelled pistachios, whole cashews & unsalted peanuts
1 cup olive oil
Spice Blend:
2 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning
2 tablespoons granulated garlic
1 tablespoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon Coleman’s mustard powder
1 tablespoon ground coriander
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 tablespoon chili flakes
1 tablespoon ground pepper
¼ cup packed brown sugar
¼ cup kosher salt
¼ cup packed fresh rosemary leaves
Glaze:
¾ cup aquafaba (the liquid from a 15-oz can of chickpeas) – reserve the chickpeas for another use
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 400° F. Prepare two rimmed backing sheets with parchment paper and oil then well.
Nuts:
Put nuts in a large bowl and mix to combine.
Spice Blend:
Mix the spice blend together and set aside.
Glaze:
Whip the aquafaba until frothy. Add the sugar and beat until pale, about 30 seconds. Add the Worcestershire sauce. Pour the glaze over the nuts and toss until evenly coated. Sprinkle 1/3 of the spice mixture over the nuts and toss to coat. Repeat until the nuts are well coated. Drizzle ½ cup olive oil over the nuts and gently toss again. Spread the nuts evenly over 2 rimmed baking sheets lined with oiled parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes, rotating half way through, until the nuts are fragrant and golden brown. Cool completely before breaking apart. Transfer the nuts jars or storage containers.
