Biscoff Crumble Chocolate Bark

12.23.2020 / By Jenne / Leave a Comment

This holiday season I have been so busy with work and my toddler, I haven’t had my full tank of energy to bake Christmas treats. I made apple cider cupcakes, which might be one of my top 10 favorite foods of all time, but that’s really it. Lucky for my lazy self, I created this biscoff crumble chocolate bark right before the holidays started. Santa will receive a plate of this, rather than cookies, when he visits this year. It’s easy to make, doesn’t require any baking, and you can top it with anything you have on hand. I highly recommend the biscoff cookies and salty pretzels, but in a bind you can use anything yummy––dried fruit, nuts, other cookies, etc…

Give me a salad everyday and I’m happy. Oh, but not a simple boring salad. I want a hearty and colorful salad, made with a mix of roasted and raw vegetables, tossed in a creamy dressing, and finished with something crunchy. This Winter Kale Salad is a variation of the salad that I eat almost every day, all year round. Depending on the season I’ll use different veggies, and depending on what I’ve got in my kitchen, I’ll use different things to bulk it up. But the formula is the same: tender massaged kale, flavorful creamy dressing, veggies, color, and something crunchy.

The best thing about Tuesdays are the tacos. Am I right? And honestly, I couldn’t have imagined enjoying a homemade taco without guacamole, until I made these Indian inspired sweet potato tacos. These jawns are delicious! Let me tell you. I tossed the sweet potatoes and cauliflower in a blend of curry powder, cumin seeds, smoked paprika, and garlic powder then I fried them in the air fryer. The result: tender sweet potatoes and crispy cauliflower––perfect for tacos!
