And this easy salad is definitely hitting the spot for lunch!😍 It’s sweet, tangy, topped with healthier candied walnuts & all tossed in a super simple maple-balsamic dressing!🤤 Fun fact: I normally hate Gorgonzola & walnuts...but toss‘em both in this salad & baby I’ll eat them all day long!😉

BALSAMIC BLACKBERRY BRUSCHETTA with HONEY WHIPPED

BALSAMIC BLACKBERRY BRUSCHETTA with HONEY WHIPPED RICOTTA! Sounds fancy, looks fancy but is oh so simple!😉[AD]
.
Seriously though, who doesn’t love a good appetizer right?! Because I’m all about them this time of year! And for this fun bruschetta idea I used @sprouts Extra Virgin Olive Oil of Italy (which has a rich full-bodied taste making it perfect for drizzling over cooked meats & soups) & paired it with some tangy blackberries, creamy ricotta & a sprinkle of fresh basil!
Trust me loves, this is one appetizer you won’t be able to get enough of!😉

Hope you’re having a great Thursday!😊💕

Balsamic Blackberry Bruschetta🍇
2 cups blackberries
1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 cup whole milk ricotta
1 Tbsp honey
1 French baguette, sliced
2 Tbsp olive oil
Fresh basil, sliced thin
.
1. Rub the baguette slices with olive oil & toast in the oven at 400 degrees for 5 minutes.
2. Whip the ricotta & honey together with an electric mixer or food processor.
3. Heat 1 cup of blackberries & balsamic vinegar on the stove. Mash the blackberries & let the sauce simmer for 1-2 minutes. (It will be very thick.) Pour the “sauce” over your remaining blackberries & stir.

I’ve come to the conclusion that nothing is more comforting than a big ol’ bowl of my SPICY ITALIAN CHICKEN SAUSAGE PASTA!🤤
.
(Anyone who says otherwise clearly hasn’t tried it yet!😉) It’s spicy, it’s hearty, it’s soo easy to make...but the best part about it? It’s easily made gluten free & dairy free too!🙌🏻 All I’m saying is that one bite of this baby will have you feeling all warm & cozy inside!🤗

Hope you’re all having a great Monday loves!😊💕
