Nobody ever went wrong with sauteed onion, garlic, ginger, and red curry, but adding a handful of crunchy, coconut-y roasted chickpeas on top takes this soup to the next level. Best of all? You can enjoy all this flavor with only about thirty minutes of hands-on cooking time.

Almond Butter Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates on spoons on top of a wooden serving plate on a wood background

Anyone who knows anything about me knows that I love to dance. Full-on dad style. If you know anything else about me, it’s that I have a huge sweet tooth. One of my favorite ways to indulge my cravings for sweets is with my almond butter bacon-wrapped dates. I make it with fresh pitted dates, crispy bacon, and JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter. It’s so good it makes me feel like I could dance!

 

Peanut Butter Banana S'mores Bars stacked on top of each other with chocolate chips on a white top with a blue background

You didn’t think I’d give you a s’mores recipe without putting my own spin on it did you? This is a classic with a sweet twist. This recipe uses JUSTIN’S® Mini Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups in place of the milk-chocolate bar, and real cookie dough instead of crackers. How delicious does that sound? I should warn you though, these can get messy and are addicting. But mostly just addicting.
