If you're an affogato fan, this is DEFINITELY for

If you're an affogato fan, this is DEFINITELY for you! If you're unfamiliar with affogato, it's an *incredible* Italian dessert that is basically just gelato with hot espresso poured over the top.

I was feeling extra, so I made it super American with a chunky brownie ice cream, caramel sauce, cold brew, mini chocolate chips, and my favorite nuts ever : Organic Pink Himalayan Salt Macadamia Nuts from @royalhawaiianorchards 💕

This is such an incredible combination of sweet, salty, smooth, and crunchy. It's decadent, but absolutely worth the indulgence - and it's such an easy recipe! Here's how to make one huge affogato to share:

ingredients:
• 2 large scoops of your favorite ice cream (like coffee, vanilla, chocolate, or get crazy with whatever you're feeling!)
• 1/3 cup cold brew (or espresso)
• caramel sauce
• mini chocolate chips
• crushed @royalhawaiianorchards Pink Himalayan Salt Macadamia Nuts

directions:
1. Scoop the ice cream into a serving dish or glass. Pour the cold brew over the ice cream, then drizzle the ice cream with caramel sauce.
2. Sprinkle on the mini chocolate chips & crushed Pink Himalayan Salt Macadamia Nuts.
3. Share! (or don't).

I hope you love this as much as I do! Thank you to @royalhawaiianorchards for having such an awesome product, and one that I absolutely love to work with each month.

IT'S HERE! The (small-ish batch) Creamy, Cheesy Hasselback Potatoes & Onions in partnership with @MidwestDairy !! 😍 (ad)

I used THREE cheeses in this recipe: sharp cheddar, smoked gouda, and parmesan. I also used potatoes AND thinly sliced onions for more flavor and texture. Oh, and roasted and raw garlic, because *variety*.

Grab the recipe just in time for next week! ≥≥ https://aflavorjournal.com/cheesy-hasselback-potatoes-and-onions-with-midwest-dairy/

I absolutely love partnering with @MidwestDairy, as you may know from my Cheesy Corn recipe from last year. (I have a thing for cheese.) Did you know that natural cheese is a fermented food made from four basic ingredients? There's just milk, salt, “good bacteria,” and an enzyme called rennet. Cheese ALSO provides a good source of protein, calcium, and phosphorus: three nutrients particularly important to help build and maintain healthy bones. AND IT'S DELICIOUS. 🧀

Did you know that dairy cows are innovative ‘upcyclers’?They actually eat parts of plants (like almond hulls and citrus pulp) from other local farms, keeping a lot of food waste out of landfills. 80% of what dairy cows consume can’t be eaten by people. 💁

I hope you love these cheesy potatoes as much as I love you for supporting me & my recipes! 💛

Queso fundido with chorizo is literally just a lit

Queso fundido with chorizo is literally just a little cast iron skillet full of gooey cheese and spicy chorizo. IT'S AMAZING.

I also add some onion, jalapeño, and garlic for *flavor*. So here's what you'll need if you want to make it!

• 8 ounces ground chorizo
• 1/2 white onion, finely chopped (about 1/2 cup)
• 1/4 jalapeño, finely chopped (about 1 tablespoon)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 ounces freshly grated Monterey Jack, Oaxaca, or other melty cheese
• 4 ounces freshly grated white cheddar (or more melty cheese)!
• guacamole, salsa, or pico de gallo for garnish

You pretty much just cook the chorizo & veggies, top it with cheese, and bake until bubbly. Grab the full recipe right here >> https://aflavorjournal.com/queso-fundido-chorizo-recipe/ or through my bio.

iT's MoNdAaAaYy which means tomorrow we eat tacos! 🌮
