Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 cups apple cider
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch bundt pan.
  2. In a saucepan, simmer the apple cider over medium heat until it reduces to about 1 cup; let it cool.
  3. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the cooled apple cider and vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Once cooled, drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.

Notes

This cake is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.

For an extra kick of flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the batter. If you prefer a lighter cake, swap half the all-purpose flour for whole wheat flour. This cake also freezes well; wrap slices in plastic wrap and store them in an airtight container for up to three months.

To make the glaze even richer, add a splash of heavy cream to the caramel sauce while it’s still warm. Serve each slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat!

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 bunch of kale, stems removed and leaves chopped
  • 1 large apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the walnuts until golden and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, and pepper to create the vinaigrette.
  3. In a large salad bowl, combine the chopped kale, sliced apple, toasted walnuts, and dried cranberries.
  4. Drizzle the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to combine, ensuring everything is well coated.
  5. Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

Note: For a vegan version, simply replace honey with maple syrup in the vinaigrette.

For the best flavor, let the salad sit for about 10 minutes after dressing to allow the kale to soften slightly and the flavors to meld together. If you want to make it ahead of time, keep the dressing separate until just before serving.

Feel free to substitute the cranberries for raisins or chopped dried apricots for a different sweetness. You can also use any nuts you have on hand, such as pecans or almonds, to customize the salad further.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days, but be aware that the kale may wilt as it sits.

Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pound Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved

Instructions

  1. Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.
  2. In a bowl, combine lemon zest, lemon juice, thyme, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to create a marinade.
  3. Place the salmon fillets in the marinade and let them soak for at least 10 minutes.
  4. Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
  5. Grill the salmon skin-side down for about 6-8 minutes, then carefully flip and grill for another 4-5 minutes until cooked through.
  6. At the same time, place the Brussels sprouts on the grill, cut-side down. Grill for about 5-7 minutes until they are charred and tender.
  7. Remove the salmon and Brussels sprouts from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes
