Earthy, rustic, yet nuanced in delicate heat and sweetness, our CHICKEN with MOLE NEGRO might just be the perfect Valentine’s Dinner for your significant other…guaranteed to not only help you seal the deal, but also to make your house smell magical.

I love impressive desserts that are easy to prepare; and our version of vanilla crème brûlée is not only a snap to make, but also delicious. Custard can be temperamental, but this five ingredient recipe comes out perfect every time if you follow a few simple steps that are lovely and fun if you’re cooking with friends or the family. Enjoy…but please don’t burn the house down with the torch!

I’ve loved banana bread since I was a kid; my paternal grandmother made it almost weekly during the winter months, and to this day, nothing tastes better to me than a warm, thick slice slathered with salty butter. The thick chunks of banana were super sweet, juxtaposed brilliantly with woody black walnuts; and although she would’ve never dreamed of adding chocolate chips to her recipe, I think she would approve of our MB Banana Bread - and we hope you will too.

Also - what better way to utilize over ripe bananas? Waste night, want not, right?

Roasted squash has been an important component to this month’s WHOLE30 program - and our Spaghetti Squash with Chicken Meatballs has by far been the favorite of everyone in the house, including our finicky 16 year old. Super easy, and ready under an hour, this recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner when time is short. The meatballs and squash take center stage, but the surprise of the meal is the delicious and funky-cool nutritional yeast boasting a singular umami flavor profile.
