We’re celebrating National Banana Bread Day!  One of our favorite combinations is banana and candied walnut (if you haven’t tried banana chips with our candied walnuts yet – we highly recommend it!) and what better way to bring them together than in a beautiful banana bread. Try making in pie pan and ringing the outer edge with fresh banana for a fun play on a pie shape!

      

There are few things as versatile as granola – it can be a heart-healthy start to the day for breakfast, rolled together with peanut butter for a high-energy snack or topped upon yogurt or ice cream – just to name a few!  This candied pecan maple granola is crunchy, perfectly sweet and you can make the recipe your own by adding dried fruits, nuts, flax seed and more! Check out the recipe here!

       

We're celebrating another fantastic food holiday today - National Rice Pudding Day!  We went straight for the candied pecans to add a rich, nutty flavor and some essential healthy fats and fiber to keep us full.  Not to mention the 19+ vitamins and minerals we get from the candied pecans.  One of the easiest recipes on our blog by far.  Give it our candied pecan pudding a try!
