I spent the weekend in LA with one of my best girl 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.

Love you @erhooker, I had the best time with you 🤍
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.

Spiced coconut muffins with dark rum glaze, inspir Spiced coconut muffins with dark rum glaze, inspired by Coquito, a festive holiday drink similar to egg nog made with coconut milk that originated in Puerto Rico. My husband is from Miami where Coquito is the holiday drink of choice & it’s delicious. 
These little beauties are perfect for your Christmas brunch or even New Years Eve morning. The rum glaze, toasted coconut & sprinkles definitely make them a little extra & that’s exactly what we all need this holiday season ❄️ The muffins are also delicious without the glaze. Just sprinkle untoasted coconut on top of the muffins before you bake them & they’re look beautiful. 

✨Printable recipe is on my site & you can double or triple as needed.

✨This recipe is kid friendly! For both the batter & the glaze you just mix everything together in a bowl & you're done.
