Ingredients

• 1 T extra-virgin olive oil, + 1 tsp butter
• 2 fat cloves garlic, minced 
• ½ cup chopped pecans, toasted

Instructions

1.  Add 1 to 2 inches of water to a large pot fitted with a steamer attachment, cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Add green beans to steamer, and cook, covered until the beans are crisp tender, 4 to 5 minutes.

2. Heat oil & butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring until the garlic is just barely showing signs of turning brown, 30 to 90 seconds. Immediately pour into a large mixing bowl to stop cooking

3. Transfer the crisp/tender green beans to the bowl. Add pecans and salt to taste and toss to coat.

*Note* To toast pecans: toss chopped pecans in a dry skillet, or with a bit of butter until they start to turn golden, or when you begin to smell them.

HAZELNUT Milkshake- Nutella

INGREDIENTS
1 cup chilled whole milk (full-fat milk)
5-6 scoops vanilla ice cream
4 tablespoons HAZELNUT SPREAD

INSTRUCTIONS

Add milk, ice cream, and HAZELNUT SPREAD to the large jar of a blender and blend until smooth.

Tip - The ice cream should be a little soft (not runny) when added to the blender. If it’s too hard it will not blend properly.

Tip – Do not add Nutella as the first thing in the jar as it might get stuck to the blades and not mix properly.

Pour the milkshake into the chilled serving glasses.

Top with whipped cream, drizzle some chocolate syrup and sprinkle crushed toasted hazelnuts on top and serve immediately.

Air Fryer JALAPENO Poppers - Sweet Cs Design

INGREDIENTS
15 fresh JALAPENOS
8 oz cream cheese
¾ cup Colby Jack cheese (shredded works best)
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp onion powder
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
¼ cup bacon bits
1 tsp red pepper flakes* (optional or add a bit of your favorite hot sauce)

INSTRUCTIONS
Cut each jalapeno in half lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape out the insides of each half so they are hollow. Set the prepped jalapenos aside.

In a medium sized mixing bowl, stir together the cream cheese, Colby Jack cheese, and half of the bacon until the cheese and bacon is evenly distributed throughout the cream cheese.

Using a spoon or spatula, fill each jalapeno half with the cream cheese filling.

In a small bowl, stir together the breadcrumbs and remaining bacon. Dip the top cream cheese side of each popper into the breadcrumbs to fully coat the cream cheese.

 
Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 390 degrees Fahrenheit. Once the air fryer has preheated, cook the jalapeno poppers 5-6 at a time for 5 minutes.

Potato Leek Soup  - From Once Upon a Chef

INGREDIENTS

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 large LEEKS white and light green parts only, roughly chopped (about 5 cups)
3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped into ½-inch pieces
7 cups chicken or vegetable broth
2 bay leaves
3 sprigs fresh thyme
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 cup heavy cream

Chives, finely chopped, for serving

INSTRUCTIONS
Melt the butter over medium heat in a large soup pot. Add the leeks and garlic and cook, stirring regularly, until soft and wilted, about 10 minutes.

Adjust the heat as necessary so as not to brown.

Add the potatoes, broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt and pepper to pot and bring to a boil. Cover and turn the heat down to low. Simmer for 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are very soft.

Fish out the thyme sprig and bay leaves, then purée the soup with a hand-held immersion blender until smooth. (Alternatively, use a standard blender to purée the soup in batches; see note.) Add the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If soup is too thin, simmer until thickened. If it's too thick, add water or stock to thin it out.

Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Note: If using a standard blender to purée the soup: be sure not to fill the jar more than halfway; leave the hole in the lid open and cover loosely with a dishtowel to allow the heat to escape; and pour blended soup into a clean pot.
