If you’re baking this weekend, you better be mak

If you’re baking this weekend, you better be making this Pumpkin Bread with Cinnamon Maple Butter 😍 I cannot get over how perfect this turned out!! I feel like a true baker now. The Cinnamon Maple Butter really takes this recipe to the next level- do not skip it! Can’t wait for your house to smell like a fall dream while this bakes 🥲
.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour, I used @bobsredmill gluten free all purpose
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
Pinch of kosher salt
1 cup pumpkin purée
2 eggs
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
5 tbsp butter, room temperature (coconut oil should work too but haven’t tested it)
2 tsp vanilla extract
Chocolate chips (optional)
Cinnamon Maple Butter:
1/3 cup butter, room temperature
3 tbsp maple syrup
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions:
Leave your butter out for at least an hour until it’s room temperature. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine all the dry ingredients (first 5 listed) and then the remaining wet ingredients in separate bowls, adding the chocolate chips last, after the wet ingredients are fully mixed. For the wet ingredients, I noticed my butter was a little chunky but it still turned out fine 🤷🏻‍♀️
Mix the wet and dry ingredients together gently, being careful not to over-mix.
Pour into a parchment lined baking loaf and bake for 55 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick comes out the middle clean.
For the maple butter, beat all ingredients together with an electric mixer.
Enjoy the bread warm out of the oven with the butter, otherwise microwave for about 10-15 seconds each slice and wrap it in a moist paper towel.

Tried a new restaurant tonight.

Tried a new restaurant tonight.

I always crave a big salad after a trip and there’s no better time to than now make my FALL CHOPPED SALAD 🍂 It’s one of those salads that you will not be able to stop eating. It’s so filling and has so much flavor. It uses tons of seasonal ingredients which really gets you in the spirit for fall 😊 All ingredients from Trader Joe’s. ENJOY!
.
Ingredients:
4 cups chopped kale, stems removed
2 cups shaved Brussel sprouts (raw), chopped- you can find them pre-shaved at most grocery stores.
1 cup roasted sweet potatoes (cut into small cubes)
1 honeycrisp apple, chopped
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
8 oz goat cheese crumbles
Dressing:
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
Juice from 1 lemon
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt & pepper
Instructions:
Massage your kale with lemon juice and refrigerate for 30-1 hour. Whisk together all ingredients for the dressing. Add to the salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss to coat. Makes about 6 servings.
*For the roasted sweet potatoes I tossed them in avocado oil, chili powder, salt and pepper then baked them at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.

The @belcampomeatco burger is in a league of its o

The @belcampomeatco burger is in a league of its own, so obviously I had to recreate it for you guys 🍔 I’m pretty shocked at how amazing it turned out… like I really nailed this one. It’s really just about using HIGH QUALITY 100% grass-fed & finished beef. Not only does it taste better, but it is WAY more nutritious and environmentally friendly than conventionally raised. I, of course, used @belcampomeatco beef and it is a MUST in this recipe! #ad
.
Ingredients:
1 lb @belcampomeatco grass-fed & finished ground beef
Kosher salt
Black pepper
2 brioche buns (I get mine from Trader Joe’s)
1/2 tbsp butter
1/2 yellow onion, sliced
1-2 tbsp olive oil
2 slices white cheddar
2-4 butter lettuce leaves
Special sauce:
1/3 cup mayo
2 tbsp ketchup
1 tbsp relish
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
First, make the caramelized onions. Heat a pan over medium-low heat and add olive oil and sliced onions. Season with salt and pepper. Stir occasionally until onions become soft and a caramel color, about 45 minutes.
Let your beef come to room temperature for about 15 minutes.
Form the beef into 2 patties and use your thumb to press in the middle a bit.
Heat a skillet or grill over medium-high heat.
Season each patty generously with kosher salt and pepper.
Once the skillet or grill is hot, add your burgers. Mine took about 2-3 minutes each side for a medium rare burger. When you flip them, add the cheddar cheese and cover with a lid so the cheese melts.
Remove the burgers from the pan or grill and let them rest while you toast the buns with a little butter on the skillet. This should only take about 1 minute.
Assemble your burger by adding special sauce to one side of the bun, then the patty, caramelized onions and butter lettuce. Makes 2 burgers!
