I know Thanksgiving is all about pumpkin, apple, cranberry and pear. But what about chocolate?! We have a [newish] tradition in our family with a chocolate banana cream pie (that Twink and Mom make) -- it's my go-to! So I thought we should show chocolate a little bit more love -- here are 8 more desserts to inspire your Thanksgiving menu.
It's National Waffle Day!
I don't know about you but when it comes to waffles, I actually prefer a heartier version to the traditional fluffy, sugary kind. So I've pulled together five beautiful recipes with a focus on paleo, gluten free and grain free, in the hopes of inspiring you today.
If you're hungry for more waffle recipes, Brit + Co. has 26 to share!
We found our favorite summer treat! It's organic, inexpensive, easy to make and deliciously refreshing. And the recipe has only ONE ingredient -- watermelon.
You'll just need 1/4 of a large organic watermelon.
Place the fruit in your Vitamix (note: don't add water). The key is the tamper -- the tamper is going to keep the watermelon blending.
Now pour the watermelon juice you just made into your popsicle mold. We used the Zoku Classic Pop Mold.
Makes 6 full-size popsicles.
And then you can enjoy some beautiful outdoor time while your popsicles are freezing.
Icy goodness!
