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!

What would happen if chocolate chip cookies grew up? Maybe got a job at a cool bookstore somewhere? Honestly, it would be a little weird. Chocolate chip cookies are food, not people. And these Almond Butter Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies are the absolute best version of the classic cookie you’ll ever taste. They’re just as sweet and indulgent as your Grandma’s recipe, but with a little something extra that will have everyone asking for your secret ingredient.

Taco Tuesday should be for everyone – vegan and omnivore alike. Vegan Tacos with Seared Tofu, Veggies, and Spicy Coconut Almond Sauce are flavorful and substantial enough to satisfy the most enthusiastic meat-eaters and most committed vegans.

How often can you say “I used almond butter in my veggie dish today”? Not often huh? Well here’s your chance! This Nutty Butternut & Brussels Hash wouldn’t be what it is if it wasn’t for JUSTIN’S® Maple Almond Butter. If you don’t believe me, try for yourself. I’m an expert at blending flavors and this dish won’t be the exception.
I love creating recipes that don’t require any heat because I can make my kids do it when I get lazy. This Easy No Bake Peanut Butter Granola was made with your kids in mind. I’ve included JUSTIN’S® Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Butter and JUSTIN’S® Classic Peanut Butter for added sweetness. I’ve also added “easy” and “no bake” in the title so they don’t complain. You can even let them have a piece if you’re feeling extra generous.
I was fiddling around in the kitchen trying to find a way to make the smoothest smoothie. Some of them came out pretty rough around the edges but I think I’ve finally cracked it. My Chocolate Hazelnut Banana Smoothie is smoother than silk, finer than wine, and packed with JUSTIN’S® Chocolate Hazelnut and Almond Butter. If it was any smoother, you could skip it across a pond.
