    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat the pine nuts in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Don’t take your eyes off them! Stir and cook until they turn golden and become fragrant, about 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.
  2. Place the brussels in a large bowl. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of dressing and toss. Let the brussels sit for 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Add in the pine nuts, dried fruit and parmesan. Add a pinch of salt and pepper and toss. Taste and season more if needed. Enjoy!
spiced maple vinaigrette
  1. Whisk together the vinegar, maple syrup, garlic, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom, a big pinch of salt and pepper and the crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk in the olive oil until emulsified. This stays great in the fridge in a sealed container.
