Maria on Access Hollywood for Daisy Jones and the Six

I love a good show to dive into! Daisy Jones and the Six is a new series on Amazon Prime and it’s based on a novel with the same title. It is rumored to be inspired by the real-life story of the iconic band Fleetwood Mac. People are going crazy over this show! It’s the fashion, hair, makeup, acting, everything! The entire aesthetic is a vibe and perfect for spring.

I did a segment with Access Hollywood talking about the show along with beauty and fashion ideas to inspire your inner 70’s rocker.

Asparagus Caprese Salad with a Crunchy Basil Topping

Asparagus Caprese with a Crunchy Basil Topping…for the win! Asparagus is everywhere when it comes to spring food, so I decided to marry it with the classic caprese flavors but elevate it up a bit!  I added toasted breadcrumbs for some texture, fresh lemon juice for some brightness, and roasted the asparagus for some depth. It all comes together to create a lovely marriage of flavors. This recipe is easy to throw together for a last-minute side dish for a party or even a weeknight dinner.

Matcha Oatmeal Muffins

Matcha is trending right now, and for good reason. Its floral yet earthy flavor adds fantastic depth to any recipe. Since I am a huge lover of all things breakfast, I wanted to find another way to add matcha to my mornings. These muffins are super easy to make and much healthier than a traditional muffin. I use gluten-free flour, but regular flour (or even whole wheat) can be used as well. It has oatmeal that fills you up and no processed sugar! I recommend using honey or maple syrup.

When it comes to matcha, I recommend getting one that is organic. You don’t need the “ceremonial grade” matcha that is used for matcha lattes. Just grab one that is good quality.

I like to top these with extra oats and a little coconut sugar for crunch. These are best hot and fresh from the oven.

No matcha? No problem. You can leave the matcha out if you want. When I am making these for the kids I leave out the matcha and add in chocolate chips.
