Hot Date(s)

Hot Dates | My Kitchen Love

Every girls dream! Errr … I mean, it’s every hosts dream for parties. This has to be the easiest and fastest appetizer that will wow your guests. I put these out for an open house party we had before Christmas and everyone asked about the hot dates. Which sounds funny, but are delicious. Dates quickly pan fried in a tiny bit of olive oil and then sprinkled with flaky sea salt. That’s it, that’s all.

I hadn’t planned on posting this recipe, however I got asked so many questions about how I got the dates to go all “buttery”that I thought I should share. And since New Years Eve is rapidly approaching I thought that maybe someone out there would be in need of this easy recipe.

These Banana Buckwheat Donuts are happening this week for school lunches. Kids dig them. I dig them. Done deal. I just need a hot 30 min to make them happen.

This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket loa This 4-Ingredient Green Smoothie gets a bucket load of spinach into our diets before we leave the house for school and work. It's one of my long time smoothies that I make for my kids. 

We've had it a few days in a row now to help us hit reset in the new year. 

The omega oil is optional and I sometimes switch out the banana for a navel orange for a different flavour profile. Oh and if you're an Orange Julius fan, try a 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract - you won't regret it!
