Apple Butternut Squash Soup
As the colder times of year approaches, recipes like this is what we want!
You’re looking at just 5 minutes prep time and 10 minutes cooking. Wholesome, savory yet a hint of sweetness from the medjool dates.

Apple Quinoa Salad with Tahini Maple Dressing
I love a hearty cold salad. It’s nice to have one on hand in my fridge at all times. It makes a great snack and can curb mid-day cravings better than any chips and dip can.

This salad is a sweet-tart taste explosion and will do more than fill a void. Bring this dish to your next potluck and be a star!
Baked Apple Cider Donuts
Look, whether we admit it or not, we all love donuts. Yet, we also know they’re often deep-fried balls of dough, so we avoid them. Well, a new dawn has broken!
These puppies are baked! There’s nothing more to say. Fantastic donuts that are sugar and oil free! There’s even a gluten-free option as well. Turn your oven on, quick!
Peanut Butter Apple Oats Jar
I’m not sure whether to call this a great breakfast or a great snack, either way the word ‘great’ is definitely what it is!
