Great Summer Recipes
Maple Pumpkin Monkey Bread on a white plate on a white background (side view)

Did you know there’s pumpkins in the jungle? Maple Pumpkin Monkey Bread is a delicious pull-apart treat that’s so sweet, you’ll forget where you are! I make it with maple syrup, pumpkin puree, and JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter for a delicious dessert that works any night of the week.

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.

 

Easy Peanut-Ginger Noodles in a round white bowl with wooden chopsticks with fresh ginger in the background

Who hasn’t realized at 5:45 that they forgot to prep dinner? I certainly have. More than once. So often, in fact, that I created a delicious, quick, and healthy meal that uses pantry staples. My Easy Peanut-Ginger Noodles come together in the time it takes you to cook noodles and taste way better than anything you’ll order on an app or pull out of your freezer. Don’t tell anyone, but sometimes I forget to make dinner on purpose so that I have an excuse to make this dish!

Baked Cinnamon Almond Butter Churro Doughnuts with cinnamon sticks in the background on a white background

I’m a sucker for a great doughnut, but sometimes I want to eat a whole dozen of them. My doctor tells me that eating that much fried dough isn’t good for me, but I’ve found a loophole. My Baked Cinnamon Almond Butter “Churro” Doughnuts are baked not fried. You still probably shouldn’t eat a dozen of them by yourself though.

 

Pretzel Crusted Chicken Tenders with Maple Almond Dijon Dipping Sauce on a black cooling rack on top of a round wooden tray
