Chocolate, Caramel & Pecan S’More Dip With JaM Cellars

by 2 Comments

Thank you JaM Cellars for sponsoring this post. Looking for Butter Chardonnay or JaM Cabernet near you? Check out our Store Locator! Just pop in your zip code.

It’s hard to believe another summer has flown right by! And even though the fall season is officially at the end of September, it won’t feel like fall in Texas until months later. That means no campfires for us {yet}, but why should that mean being left out of the s’mores party?

A s’mores dip is such an easy way to turn an ordinary moment into fun. And pairing with a glass of melt-in-your-mouth Butter Chardonnay or berry-licious JaM Cabernet is a wonderful way to make the moment even more special. Seriously, what could be better than sipping on Butter Chardonnay and JaM Cab while both making this sweet treat and enjoying it with friends? And since both bottles are under $20, a s’mores and wine combo also makes for a fun moment that won’t break the bank.

And because this s’mores dip can be made in your home and without access to a fire, it can truly be enjoyed all year long {not just as you’re mourning summer coming to an end}.

Homemade Granola With Quinoa & Coconut Chips

Smoothie Bowl

Can you believe it’s been over two years since I’ve made my favorite granola recipe?? The same recipe that I’ve raved about a lot lately.  As if I made it all the time.  As if I made it just the other day..

Homemade Granola with Fruit and Milk

I parked myself in the kitchen over the weekend and whipped up a batch. I munched here, I munched there. I made granola desserts with milk, strawberries, and bananas.  I made açaí smoothie bowls topped with granola, mango, strawberries and bananas. And before I knew it, I was left with crumbs. I had eaten my way through a seemingly impossible-to-finish jar of granola.  And two years later, I’m just as pleased with this granola recipe as I was from the very start.

Vegan Dark Chocolate Fruit Dip

Vegan Chocolate Fruit Dip

At any given time, I have about four cans of Trader Joe’s coconut cream in my fridge.  It is my go-to dessert in a crisis. You know, the kind of crisis when you’re on a health kick, craving something sweet, and there isn’t a sweet thing to be found in your kitchen?  Coconut cream makes the struggle less real.

Trader Joe's Dark Chocolate

When cold and whipped, coconut cream takes on almost the exact consistency of whipped cream, making it perfect for topping fruit.  Remember those piña colada skewers I made a while back?  So. Good.

Made with finely grated dark chocolate and cocoa powder, the chocolate version of this whipped coconut cream recipe is a delicious dessert addition to any menu.

Homemade Fruit On The Bottom Yogurt

Blackberry Fruit On The Bottom Greek Yogurt

Gosh, have I been on a yogurt kick lately!  So much so that I feel a little guilty for the amount of plastic that’s been making its way to the recycle bin.  In an effort to reduce the amount of single serve cups {and refined sugar} I’m consuming, I took it upon myself to test out a homemade version.  And I can’t believe I haven’t been going about yogurt this way all along.

Blackberries and Coconut Sugar

Coconut sugar is much lower on the glycemic index than granulated sugar, making it a completely decent choice for breakfast and dessert alike.  And if blackberries aren’t your thing, you can swap out blackberries for blueberries or strawberries.
