New! ✨ Crispy Pork Lettuce Wraps ✨ - a vibrant and flavorful dinner recipe that is ready in just 30 minutes!

👉🏼 There are so many different ways you can fill a lettuce cup, but this recipe is at the top of my list – whether you’re eating GF or not!

👉🏼 The little bits of sticky / sweet caramelized ground pork mixed with a variety of vibrant vegetables all piled into a fresh and crunchy lettuce cup and topped with an outrageously bright + delicious (seriously!) cucumber salad is some next level dinner goals.

👉🏼 I love how all the flavors play together perfectly, like a little symphony of YUM in your mouth with each bite. I can't wait for you to try them! 😋

A little holiday cocktail from me, to you 🥰💫 Happiest of holidays my friends!

Peppermint Mocha Espresso Martini

Makes 1 cocktail

1 ounce vodka
1 1/2 ounce Kahlua or another coffee liqueur
1 1/2 ounces hot espresso, strong coffee, or prepared instant coffee
1 1/2 ounces creamer of choice, dairy free or regular both work well (we love using @nutpods!)
1/2 teaspoon cocoa or cacao powder
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional ingredients: Melted chocolate and crushed candy canes to rim your glass
Garnish: Cocoa powder and coffee beans

1. Gather your ingredients. Prepare your espresso or coffee, measure out the vodka, kahlua, cocoa powder, and flavor extracts, and add plenty of ice to a cocktail shaker. Rim martini glasses with crushed peppermint candy if desired (see instructions below!)

2. Add all ingredients to your cocktail shaker with ice, making sure to add the hot espresso last so the ice doesn’t melt immediately.

3. Shake it up! Seal the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 15-30 seconds. Properly aerating the cocktail is what helps build the foam on your finished drink so don’t be afraid to use some muscle power and shake for longer than you think you should.

4. Strain into a glass (chilled if you like), garnish, and enjoy!

To make chocolate peppermint martini rim:

• Melt a small amount of chocolate in a flat, shallow bowl (big enough to fit the rim of your glass). Crush some candy canes and transfer to a small plate.

• Dip the martini glass into the chocolate just enough to coat about an 1/8 of an inch of the rim. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off into the bowl.

• Before the chocolate dries roll the edge in the crushed candy canes. You can also pick up candy cane pieces with your fingers and sprinkle them onto the wet chocolate.

• Move the garnished martini glass to the refrigerator to set the chocolate quickly so it’s ready to use!

Not the kind of gal who’s into pumpkin spice everything, BUT I don’t think I’d ever say no to to this drink. Meet our new favorite cocktail, the ✨Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini✨

Made with real pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice, and your creamer of choice (I love nutpods original flavor for an ultra creamy dairy free option!) The seasonal YUM factor of this simple martini is just *chefs kiss* 🤌🏼🎃😍

Here’s how to make it 👇🏼

Pumpkin Spice Espresso Martini

👉🏼 Makes 1 large (7 oz) martini or 2 minis - doubling the recipe is perfect for 4 people if you just want a small after dinner drink!

Ingredients

1 ounce vodka
1 1/2 ounces kahlua or another coffee liqueur
1 1/2 ounces hot espresso, strong coffee, or prepared instant coffee
1 1/2 ounces dairy free creamer, or half and half
2 teaspoons pumpkin puree
1/8 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

Instructions

Add ingredients to cocktail shaker over plenty of ice.

Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-30 seconds. Properly aerating the martini is what helps build a foamy finish.

Strain into a glass (chilled if you’d like), garnish with extra pumpkin pie spice, coffee beans, and enjoy!

When you pop into the market and see the most beautiful, local, organic, end-of-season shishitos at a great price whipping some up for a healthy appetizer is a MUST 🤩🔥😍

All you need is a hot pan, a tiny bit of oil, flaky sea salt, and about 10 minutes. We love dipping them in a easy homemade aioli but you could use whatever type of creamy dipping sauce you have on hand 👌🏼

You can find the full recipe with some extra cooking tips by searching for “shishito peppers” on nyssaskitchen.com, or check out the instructions below!👇🏼

Blistered Shishito Peppers

Ingredients

1 teaspoon avocado oil, or another high heat cooking oil
about 8 oz shishito peppers
flaky sea salt
1/3 cup high quality mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 large garlic clove, grated or pressed
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

In a small bowl whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, paprika and salt. Taste and add more salt or lemon juice if desired. Set aside.

In a large cast iron or non stick skillet big enough for peppers to sit in a single layer heat avocado oil over medium high heat, until oil is shimmering and very hot.
Add peppers and let sit for about 30 seconds so they have a chance to char and blister before tossing. Cook, tossing every 30 seconds or so until peppers are charred all over and have softened slightly. You’ll know that they’re done when each pepper is fairly charred on all sides, and has started to soften but is still bright green and holding it’s shape.

Serve warm, topped with lots of flaky sea salt, alongside the aioli dipping sauce 😋

New recipe for 🍉 Watermelon Juice 🍉 !! The first time I made homemade watermelon juice I thought “there’s no WAY it’s that easy”. But it turns out that it is in fact, that easy 😆

Like 3 ingredients, no juicer required, ready in less than 10 minutes easy. And absolutely-insanely-delicious. Plus it’s much cheaper than any store bought option, and more fresh, too (which means more nutrient retention)!

So now it’s a regular thing at our house, especially when the days start to get hotter. Because there’s nothing more refreshing than a tall, cold glass of watermelon juice to quench your thirst 💦

Perfect to enjoy with breakfast, after a work out, or any time you’re craving something hydrating that’s also fresh and delicious.

Vegan, GF, no added sugar.
