Cranberries are definitely the one fruit I always think of first during the winter and holiday season. It’s festive, colorful, and more importantly – delicious and nutritious! Did you know that Wisconsin produces more than half the world’s cranberries? Yep, right here in the Midwest! Wisconsin is the nation’s leading producer of cranberries, harvesting more than 60 percent of the country’s crop.

Fall is for all of the maple inspired recipes and I’m excited to share this Maple Pear and Brussel Sprout salad with you! It’s made using 100% Pure Maple Syrup from Canada which is made only with one ingredient (the sap from maple trees!) and it’s the perfect blend of fall produce and flavors in one hearty salad.
I love using Greek yogurt in baking recipes because it’s a nutritious ingredient that is versatile enough to work in baked goods to add nutrients without sacrificing taste. Plus, it’s a fridge item that I always have stocked so I never have to make a last-minute grocery store run when I’m making something – I know Greek yogurt can serve its purpose in a variety of recipes! These Marble Peanut Butter muffins (with chocolate!) is made with FAGE BestSelf Lactose-free Greek yogurt, which is perfect for those who love the benefits of baking with yogurt but need a lactose-free option. Not only do I eat BestSelf plain in a yogurt bowl, but I use it for baking, cooking, as a base for spreads and dips, smoothies, and even savory recipes like chicken salad. So much to work with here, which is why I stock up weekly!

Out of all of the conflicting nutrition topics we see floating around the internet, there are a few things we know that are true. Like the handful of science-backed benefits to eating an adequate amount of protein for example – benefits like helping us feel fuller for longer and helping our blood sugars stay stable so that we’re energized for longer. No matter what your nutrition and health goals are, protein can play a role in supporting and reaching them.

I’m so excited to share with you these Crispy Maple Tofu Bites made with 100% Pure Maple Syrup from Canada! They’re easy to make and super versatile. I love it with this purple cabbage and red pepper slaw here, but honestly they’re the perfect sweet/savory protein topper to anything.
Now, I’ve said this before and I’ve said it again – stocking your pantry with essentials can help you in the long run because the basics (olive oil, salt, vinegar, etc) are the base to help you create simple but flavorful meals. Maple Syrup is my number one, go-to sweetener because it’s made with one ingredient – the sap from maple trees! While you’ll often see other syrups on the market, it’s not quite true maple syrup unless it’s only one ingredient.
