Chocolate Pudding Green Smoothie
This chocolate pudding green smoothie is a great alternative to hot chocolate on a cozy winter afternoon!

Mini Apple Caramel Tartlettes
‘Apple caramel’ are two words that just belong together. Just seeing them side by side, all snuggled up together and cozy, is enough to make one feel nostalgic warm fuzzies. Of course, caramel apples are the prototypical way to enjoy this star-crossed combination of flavors, but it is equally irresistible in pies, tarts, and crumbles. And this recipe lets you get that lovely experience raw!
One of the start pieces in these apple caramel tarts is the pecan crust. Something stupendous happens when pecans are sweetened. It’s ineffable, it’s magical, and it’s perfect for the holiday season. Or any other time, really! You can’t go wrong with a crust made from pecans.

Pomegranate Zucchini Pasta
There’s so many things you can do with zucchini. We’ve already had plenty to say about the wondrous versatility of this modest little squash. So let’s focus instead on this amazing persimmon dressing!
If you’ve never tasted a well-ripened persimmon, then you simply don’t know what you’re missing. If tasted before they have had a chance to get really, really ripe — we’re talking almost fermented, even — persimmon is aggressively astringent and unpleasant. But as the fruit matures and the tannin levels are reduced, it becomes one of the sweetest and most incredible tasting fruits you’ll find anywhere. But it does take patience! You have to let the persimmon ripen until it becomes so soft it is squishy. Which makes it ideal for dressings!
As always, ginger provides a lovely spicy foil for the sweetness of the persimmon dressing. Give it a try!
Carrot Cake Banana Smoothie
It’s a carrot cake, but in a cup! Sweet, delicious, and packed full of all sorts of healthful nutrients and phytochemicals. It makes for a great afternoon snack, an invigorating breakfast, or even as a health-conscious dessert!
With tons of vitamin A, plenty of vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and a fair amount of protein, it all comes in at less than 200 calories. Sometimes you want the comforting taste of carrot cake. But you also wanna stay healthy (or maybe you lack the motivation to make one!). That’s when the spice carrot cake smoothie comes to the rescue!
