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 mean, Valentine’s Day or whatever.
(Parks and Recreation is still one of my favorite shows. Leslie Knope for President. Insert praise hand emoji here.)
Can we talk about the weather here in South Carolina for a minute?
Seriously, it’s like one day I’m bundled in five layers of fleece/cotton knits/cashmere and the next day I’m back in running shorts and a t-shirt. But really, as much of a difference there is in the weather here sometime, I am in no way complaining because the warm days here definitely out number the cold. Perks of living in the South! In my opinion, laying on the beach > trudging through the snow.
I’m still a dedicated smoothie drinker even in the winter. Smoothies are just awesome to nom on when you need a nutrient packed pick me up – quick to whip up and easy to take on the go. Hungry? Make a smoothie. Tired? Make a smoothie. Stressed? Make a smoothie. Bada boom. Welcome to the era of the Nutribullet.
The friendly folks over at Bai sent over some goodies the other day (so many awesome flavors!) and as soon as I saw the pear flavor I ripped that bad boy open and downed it in about 3 minutes flat. Woah there, new record. My college friends would be proud. No shame – it was delicious!
