Cheers to blood oranges! They're such a pretty treat this time of the year. One of my favorite ways to use seasonal fruit is in a shrub syrup. ⁠⠀
🍊⁠⠀
A shrub is a drinking vinegar, which sounds weird, I know, but it tastes amazing and is so refreshing. You mix fresh fruit with sugar and any spices you like and then let it sit in the refrigerator for a few days. Then you strain off the fruit solids and mix the super concentrated and sweet juice with vinegar. ⁠⠀
🍊⁠⠀
A shrub is a handy thing to have on hand for the holidays not only because it's bright and festive, but also because it's a perfect cocktail or mocktail. Mix it with seltzer water or make it boozy with some prosecco or a splash of vodka.⁠⠀
🍊🍹⁠⠀
Here's what you need to make this. Get the full recipe at the link in my bio! ⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
4 medium blood oranges, segmented⁠⠀
1 cup of sugar⁠⠀
1 cup of apple cider vinegar⁠⠀
2 teaspoons minced ginger⁠⠀
2 teaspoons Chinese Five Spice powder⁠⠀

I finally finished the last of the Thanksgiving leftovers and I'm not gonna lie. I could probably live on stuffing. It's the one thing I must have for Thanksgiving, and I must have a LOT of it!⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
So now that my blood sugar's starting to recover, I'll be enjoying this Mediterranean Lentil and Barley Salad. It's packed with delicious Middle Eastern flavors like cinnamon, mint and fresh parsley and it's got a sweet-savory thing going on from some dried apricots and figs and salty goat cheese and sunflower seeds.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
FYI Both barley and lentils are full of soluble fiber and they help to reduce your cholesterol and blood sugar? They're good things to eat, especially this time of the year when you might be eating too much stuffing!⁠⠀

🦃Don't forget to buy Brussels sprouts! ⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Are they a traditional part of your holiday meals? Or do you run away from them?⁠⠀
🦃⁠⠀
When you roast them along with some delicata squash and cranberries and drizzle them with balsamic glaze, they taste like candy. Plus, they're so good for you - they're a cruciferous vegetable that has amazing anti-cancer properties from the compound that gives them their bitter flavor and "distinctive smell"⁠⠀
🦃⁠⠀

❓❓How in the world did I miss the boat on mug cakes?⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Not to worry, because even though I'm a little late to the party, I'm now on board with this little 5-minute lifesaving sweet treat!⁠⠀
⁠⠀
And, guess what? Not only are mug cakes just the right size - not too little, not too much, they can also be a healthier sweet treat. ⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
I made this Apple Spice Protein Mug Cake with @PB2foods new Performance Almond Protein Powder #sponsored. It's not only delicious, but it's got 16 grams of plant-based protein baked into each mug. ⁠⠀
🍎⁠⠀
Yes, I might have topped it with a scoop of Greek yogurt and some nuts and called it a "mug-breakfast"⁠⠀
🍎⁠⠀

Currently dipping everything I can think of into this Pumpkin Pie Hummus! ⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
Who knew that beans and pumpkin could turn into something so delicious?? It's like Halloween magic.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
It's a perfect holiday fruit dip. Or scoop it up with some gingersnap cookies. Or leftover Halloween chocolate...🙌⁠⠀

I have to admit, my ears perk up and my heart races just a little bit when the UPS truck's brakes squeal outside of my office window. Anyone else???⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
.⁠⠀
The best thing is when you forgot that you ordered something and it's like a special gift that's exactly what you wanted. But then you get the bill...⁠⠀

I’ve always had a love hate thing with October because I love sweaters and boots and all the colors but I absolutely hate the cold weather that accompanies it.
.
.
Now that I’ve escaped to the desert there’ nothing quite like seeing the pumpkins out at Home Depot which are next to the already set up Christmas trees 🎄 🎃 when it’s 95degrees out and I’m in shorts and flip flops .
