Salted Caramel Pear Fritters

Healthy Fact of the Day

Salted Caramel Pear Fritters are a decadent treat high in calories and sugar. Pears provide some fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. To make a healthier version, consider baking the fritters instead of frying. Use whole wheat flour for added fiber and nutrients. Replace some sugar with mashed banana or applesauce for natural sweetness. For a lighter topping, use Greek yogurt mixed with a touch of honey and cinnamon instead of caramel sauce. Remember, these should be enjoyed as an occasional indulgence. Balance your diet by pairing a small fritter with a serving of fresh fruit or enjoying them as part of a special brunch alongside protein-rich options.

Tip of the Day

“Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
