✨Wrapped Jalapeño Poppers✨
Day 2 of our Super Bowl appetizers - this time we’re upgrading the classic jalapeño popper, first with a pizza crust wrapper because everything is better with pizza. Second adding non fat cottage cheese to the mixture yields the same flavor with a little less fat and a little more protein 💪

✨ Chocolate Mousse ✨
February hits and it’s all about Valentine’s Day and the Super Bowl! Starting with one of my favorite desserts made over to fit into my new macro-conscious diet.

My secret ingredient? Silken tofu! Don’t make that face, you won’t even be able to taste it! Use vegan chips and make it the best vegan chocolate recipe you’ve had!!!

✨CURRY LEAF PESTO✨
We teased about this recipe last year - if you’ve seen our stories, one of our favorite pizza places is Veggie Crust, they have a ton of Indian fusion pizzas and while I was skeptical the first time I tried it, their curry leaf pesto is 🔥 (thanks for introducing us to it!)

Well - we think we’ve gotten pretty close with this version, so far it’s been tested and true in pizza, Tik Tok pesto eggs, pasta and sandwiches … how will you try this curry leaf pesto? Pictured here on our ever favorite
