As soon as the temperatures drop and the pumpkins appear, I am ready to bake all the cozy recipes-starting with this Pumpkin Baked Brie. This easy fall appetizer looks impressive but comes together with just a few ingredients. A wheel of Brie is wrapped in puff pastry, filled with pumpkin butter and baked until golden and gooey. Shaped and tied to resemble a pumpkin, it's the perfect centerpiece for your fall gathering or the star of a seasonal charcuterie board. Serve it warm with crackers, apple slices, meats and other cheeses and watch it disappear!

Ingredients You Will Need

• Brie Wheel: Use a 7-8ounce round of Brie for the best results. You can leave the rind on, it helps hold it together while baking.
• Puff Pastry: Store-bought puff pastry makes this recipe super easy. Be sure to thaw it before using.
• Pumpkin Butter: Adding the perfect touch of fall flavor and sweetness. Other fruit butters or jams work great as well!
• Egg Wash: Made with 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush on the puff pastry for a golden brown look.
• Twine: Kitchen-safe twine helps create the pumpkin shape. Don't skip this…it is the secret to make the cute presentation.

Steps to Make the Adorable Pumpkin Baked Brie

1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven at 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the puff pastry: Place the puff pastry on the parchment paper and spread the pumpkin butter to be about the same size as the brie wheel and place the brie on top of the pumpkin butter

3. Wrap it up: Bring the puff pastry edge up and over the Brie, pinching the dough together. Flip the wrapped brie over so the flat surface is on top

4. Shape the Pumpkin: Using the kitchen twine, tie the twine around the brie to create the sections of a pumpkin (4-6 pieces of twine)

5. Brush with Egg Wash: Whisk the egg and brush the puff pastry to add a golden shine

Bake: Bake the wrapped brie for 35 minutes or until the puff pastry is light golden brown

Cool and Garnish: Let the baked brie rest for 5 minutes, remove the twine and garnish with a cinnamon stick and sage leaf. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips and FAQS for Making the Best Pumpkin Baked Brie

• Work with Cold Puff Pastry: Make sure that the puff pastry is defrosted but still cold. If the puff pastry gets to warm it will lose its shape and be very sticky.
• Use parchment paper: When you are wrapping the brie, place the puff pastry on parchment paper so you can transfer it to a baking sheet easily.
• Serve Immediately: Baked Brie is best enjoyed warm and gooey right out of the oven!
• Garnish: After baking, add a cinnamon stick and a sage leaf to create the perfect pumpkin

You will never make another dinner roll again and if you have never made dinner rolls before, you will make these all the time! My family is obsessed, we make them all the time and they are the first thing on the table to go. Garlic Herb Dinner Rolls are going to be your new favorite recipe to make and share with your friends. Made with my favorite Rhodes Frozen Rolls, softened butter, garlic, fresh herbs and sprinkled with sea salt. Your guests will think they are homemade and took you hours, but little do they know you made them in no time at all!

Once you have fallen in love with these savory Garlic Herb Dinner Rolls you will want to move to the sweet side with our most loved Easy Monkey Bread Loaf.

Simple Ingredients You Will Need

Frozen Dinner Rolls
I have loved using the brand Rhodes Rolls for years. They come in a large bag and the rolls are frozen into small balls of dough. These rolls need to thaw, rise and bake so give yourself enough time to make these (approximately 2-3 hours).

Butter
Unsalted butter is what I love to use so that I can add the amount of salt that I want to the rolls. The butter will need to be melted or softened before using.

Garlic
Fresh garlic chopped very fine will mix into the butter mixture.

Herbs
A combination of herbs is what makes these rolls so tasty and look like the spring season. I love adding rosemary and thyme but you can add any other herb you love.

Step-by-Step Directions To Make Garlic Herb Dinner Rolls

Prepare the Garlic Herb Butter

• In a small sauce pan combine the butter, garlic and herbs and cook on low heat until the butter is melted

Prep The Rolls

• Remove the dough balls from the freezer and place them in the baking dish or sheet pan that you wish to bake your rolls in.
• Toss the frozen dough balls into the garlic herb butter until fully coated and then place on the parchment line baking sheet about 1-2 inches apart
• Sprinkle course sea salt onto the top of each dough ball
• Cover the frozen dough balls with a piece of plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise for 2-3 hours or until doubled in size

Bake the Garlic and Herb Rolls

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
• Bake the rolls in a preheated oven for fifteen minutes or until the rolls are a light golden brown color on top
• Once the dinner rolls are baked, remove the rolls from the oven and brush the remaining garlic herb butter on top of the rolls, finish with another sprinkle of course sea salt
• Serve warm or at room temperature!

Banana Bread is a beloved classic, but have you ever tried adding a tropical twist with pineapple and incorporating Greek Yogurt for extra moisture and a protein boost? This Banana Pineapple Bread recipe is sure to become a staple in your baking repertoire. Not only is it incredibly moist and flavorful, but it is also extremely easy to make and perfect for any occasion.

Although this Banana Pineapple Bread is becoming a quick favorite in our family, we will make sure to keep it on rotation with our other favorite, Classic Banana Bread and our weekly go to recipe of the Mini Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins.

Ingredient Notes

Flour-Using all purpose flour is all you need for this sweet and moist bread. If you want to make this gluten free, you can substitute the flour for a cup for cup GF flour.

Sugar-Use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar in this recipe.

Baking Soda and Baking Powder-Both baking powder and baking soda are necessary when baking this Banana Pineapple Bread. Do not replace one for the other, it will change the texture of the bread.

Bananas- Ripe bananas that have spots of brown on the skin are going to make this bread the perfect amount of sweet.

Pineapple- Using crushed and strained pineapple is perfect and will mix well into the batter. If you choose to use fresh pineapple, make sure to crush it up and strain it well so there is not a lot of extra juice.

Greek Yogurt- Adding a boost of protein and moisture to the bread, greek yogurt is one of my favorite additions. If you don't have greek yogurt you can use regular yogurt as well or sour cream.

Vegetable Oil- Adding a fat to this bread will create a perfect moist texture. Do not replace the oil for butter or any other fat, this will change the texture of the cake.

Step-by-Step Directions

Prepare the Banana Pineapple Bread Batter

• In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon and salt and mix until combined
• In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, strained crushed pineapple, greek yogurt, eggs, vegetable oil and vanilla extract
• Slowly whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until batter is fully combined and smooth
• Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread out evenly with a spatula

Bake the Banana Pineapple Bread

• Bake the banana bread in a preheated oven until the bread is done and a toothpick comes out clean
• Once the bread is baked, remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan

Prepare the Pineapple Glaze

• Whisk together the powdered sugar and pineapple juice until smooth and creamy
• Drizzle the top of the bread with the pineapple glaze
• Allow the glaze to dry and set for 10-15 minutes before cutting and serving! Enjoy!

Tips and FAQS To Make The Best Banana Pineapple Bread

Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the banana, the sweeter the bread will be. Wait until your bananas have a lot of brown spots on the peel before using.

Drain the Pineapple: Be sure to drain the crushed pineapple well before adding it to the batter. The excess moisture can make the bread too wet if you don't.

Yogurt Alternative: Use whatever yogurt you have or if you don't have yogurt you can replace with sour cream.

Add Nuts or Coconut: For a little extra texture and flavor, you can always add chopped nuts or shredded coconut to your bread batter.

Store Properly: To keep the Banana Pineapple Bread moist, store in an airtight container or zip lock bag at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Simple, easy, delicious are the three words that describe The Best Homemade Blueberry Muffins. Simple ingredients, easy step by step directions and the most delicious fresh flavor. Made with fresh blueberries, the perfect amount of lemon zest and a buttery crumble topping that finishes these off just right.

This Homemade Blueberry Muffins Recipe makes for an easy breakfast, snack and even an after dinner sweet treat. Since school has started we are making sure that there are quick options for a busy morning and hungry after school snacking. If you are looking for more options for a fast and easy breakfast, you will also love this Classic Banana Bread Recipe or the most delicious Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Muffins.

Ingredients

Simple pantry staples make up the ingredient list for these Homemade Blueberry Muffins.

All-Purpose Flour- There is no need for any fancy flours for this recipe, all-purpose flour is a pantry staple and the stabilizer for these muffins.

Granulated Sugar- The perfect sweetener for these blueberry muffins. You can always use light brown sugar to a more caramelized flavor, but it will change the texture and consistency of these muffins.

Baking Powder- The leavening agent for the muffins. Do not replace this with baking soda, you will end up with a completely different muffin.

Eggs- Use large eggs at room temperature

Butter and Oil- The combination of the butter and oil will add the fat that the muffins need for moisture and flavor. Make sure the butter is melted and cooled!

Buttermilk- I love the flavor that buttermilk brings to these muffins. The acid from the buttermilk will react with baking powder and create a perfect tender texture. If you don't have buttermilk you can make you own with one cup of whole milk and one tablespoon vinegar mixed together and allow it to sit for 10 minutes

Lemon Zest- Adding the perfecting fresh flavor. Make sure to only add the zest, not the juice!

Blueberries- I really love using fresh blueberries for this muffin recipe. You can replace the fresh for frozen but it will change the texture of the muffin.

Step By Step Instructions

Homemade Blueberry Muffins can be made in a short amount of time and no mixer required. Easy, fast and delicious!

• Dry Ingredients - Combine all the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt together in a large bowl and gently whisk to combine

• Wet Ingredients - In a medium mixing bowl, combine the eggs, melted butter, buttermilk, oil, lemon zest and vanilla extract and whisk until fully combined

• Combine the Wet and Dry Ingredients- Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients whisking until combined and the batter is smooth. Do not over mix the batter

• Add the Blueberries- Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the muffin batter

• Scoop and Add Crumble Topping- Line the cupcake pan with paper liners and scoop ¼ cup of batter into each mold. Sprinkle the crumble topping over each muffin.

Bake- In a preheated oven, bake the muffins for 14-15 minutes or until the crumble topping is a light golden brown color.

Tips and FAQ'S To Make the Best Blueberry Muffins

Tips to make the perfect muffins every time!

Muffin Size- This recipe is calculated for a regular muffin size, but these muffins can be made in a mini muffin pan or a large muffin pan. You will need to adjust the baking time, but they will still taste delicious!

Fresh Vs. Frozen Blueberries- Some recipes work great with frozen blueberries, but in this one I love the flavor and texture that the fresh blueberries bring. If you don't have or can't get fresh blueberries, frozen will work great and still create a delicious muffin.

Gluten Free Muffins- This recipe is made with all-purpose flour, but can be substituted with the 1 for 1 gluten free flour.

Muffin Batter: Do not overman the muffin batter.  When you are whisking the dry ingredients into the we ingredients, whisk until just combined and smooth

Fresh or Frozen: I prefer fresh blueberries in this recipe because it keeps the muffins from gettin mushy and too much blueberry flavor.  Fresh blueberries provide the perfect amount of flavor and a great texture! 

Buttermilk:  If you don't have buttermilk you can use 1 cup of whole milk and mix in 1 tablespoon vinegar and allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes.  This will create a h0memade buttermilk.

Inspired by one of my favorite dips from Central Market Grocery Stores, Love Dip is creamy and a hint of spice that you will fall in "LOVE" with. Made with cream cheese, tomatoes, a tarragon spice blend and a dash of cayenne pepper.

I love pairing this dip with Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips or part of a meat and cheese charcuterie board to make a night in feel extra special.

Celebrating Valentine's Day with this dip and charcuterie board? Don't forget one of our favorite sips and something sweet to pair with this savory appetizer! Strawberry Tequila Spritz and these adorable Heart Shortbread Cookies are on our list!

What is Love Dip

I recreated one of my favorite dips that I discovered many years ago at our local grocery store. This pink dip was always intriguing to me because it kind of looks like it would be a sweet flavor, but once you take one bite you will fall in love with this savory, creamy and slightly spicy recipe.

A super creamy texture made from the cream cheese, mixed with chopped tomatoes and tomato paste, a combination of spices and herbs including tarragon and cilantro and finished off with a dash of cayenne pepper for the perfect kick at the end. This dip would also pair with our spring charcuterie board as well.

Love Dip Ingredients

Cream Cheese-Full fat cream cheese that is softened to room temperature is the base of this recipe that makes it extra rich and creamy
Tomatoes- Diced fresh tomatoes need to be seeded to remove any the excess liquid. If you don't have fresh tomatoes you can used diced can tomatoes but make sure to rinse and strain them so they are dry. There is also a touch of tomato paste for a little extra flavor.
Spices & Herbs-A combination of garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, white pepper, tarragon, and cilantro make up these wonderful flavors that are mixed in with the cream cheese.
Lemon Juice- One teaspoon of lemon juice adds a fresh and citrus flavor to this rich and creamy dip

Step-by-Step Directions

• In the bowl of a food processor combine the all the ingredients
• Blend until all smooth and creamy
• Remove the dip from the bowl and scoop into a serving bowl
• Serve and enjoy!

How To Make The Perfect Charcuterie Board

A charcuterie board does not have to be complicated or big. You can customize it to serve as few or as many people as you want and basically put all the things you love on it.

Here is what you need:
2-3 Cheese Selections: I love the Trader Joes Creamy Toscano Cheese Soaked in Syrah and a mozzarella or a brie

2-3 Meat Selections: Salami and prosciutto are always a must!
Dips & Tapenade's: I am a huge fan of our Love Dip for this valentine's board and a salty olive tapenade is the perfect addition.

Crackers & Chips- Choose your favorite crackers and chips and find some gluten free cracker so you are prepared that might have a gluten allergy. Make the board festive for Valentine's Day with our Homemade Heart Tortilla Chips.

Something Sweet: It is always a great idea to add one sweet to your board. Chocolate covered almonds, chocolate truffles or these cute heart cookies are the perfect last bite.

There is nothing better than a large muffin that is moist, tender and full of great flavor. Its seems easy to find these at your favorite local bakery but not always as easy to recreate in your own home. Just like our Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies, these Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Muffins are going to be your go to for a delicious morning breakfast, brunch or snack item.

These Chocolate Chip Muffins are big and size and big in flavor and made with simple ingredients that are easy to find in your pantry. If you are a fan of creating the perfect muffins at home you will also love the most amazing and most popular Banana Nut Muffins.

Ingredient Notes

A simple list of pantry and refrigerator staples will create the most delicious Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Muffins.

Flour-The foundation for these chocolate chip muffins, all purpose flour is a pantry staple and perfect for this batter

Leavening Agent-Using both baking powder and baking soda will create a perfect amount of rise for the muffins

Sugar-Light brown sugar to sweeten the muffins. You can also use half granulated sugar and half light brown sugar.

Butter-Melted butter will produce a moist and tender muffin

Eggs- Eggs add moisture and will bring the batter together

Sour Cream- Sour cream adds a great amount of moisture and flavor to the muffins. If you don't have sour cream you can also use greek yogurt and have great results.

Chocolate Chips- The star ingredient to the chocolate chip muffins! I love using mini chocolate chips for this muffin because every bite gets a bit of chocolate.

Step-by-Step Directions

• In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt; set aside
• In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, eggs and sour cream until smooth and creamy
• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and whisk until fully combined 
• Fold the mini chocolate chips into the muffin batter
• Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pans to fill completely (these will be large muffins, if you want smaller muffins only fill ¾ full and bake for less time)
• Sprinkle the top of the muffins with a few extra mini chocolate chips and sugar in the raw 
• Bake the muffins for 18-20 minutes 
• Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool for 5 minutes 
• Enjoy the muffins warm! 

Tips To Make The Best Chocolate Chip Muffins

Room Temperature Ingredients
It is very important to have room temperature ingredients to ensure that everything mixes together. Remove the ingredients about 30 minutes before you are getting ready to mix and bake.

Don't Over Mix
This batter is very tender and moist, but over mixing the batter will create a tougher texture and will not bake to be as light and fluffy as they are.

Muffin Size
Filling the muffin pan full will create a beautiful large bakery style muffin with a big top. If you don't want a large muffin or want to stretch the batter a little further, you can fill the batter only ¾ full for 12 muffins and bake for less time.

Weeknight summer dinners or fun appetizers for a crowd must be quick, simple and anything that can be grilled is a bonus! Mediterranean Lamb Flatbread is the perfect combination of gourmet flavors with the ease of using delicious naan bread as the crust. I love the soft texture of naan bread and the versatility of being able to grill or bake it in the oven and you can top it with a variety of flavors.

The mediterranean flavors that make this bread extra special is the distinct flavors of ground lamb mixed with cumin and coriander. There is also the perfect amount of middle eastern spice blend called Za'atar that adds an herb flavor which pairs so well with the mozzarella cheese and the crumbled feta cheese.

For outdoor entertaining, whether it is a small group or a crowd, pair this grilled Lamb Flatbread with our favorite Mediterranean Shrimp Orzo Salad and sip on this Watermelon Vodka Punch.

Ingredient Notes

Naan Bread-Naan is a leavened flatbread that is most commonly found in western and central Asia and Indian cuisine. It is a perfect size and a quick base for a delicious flatbread and even better right off the grill. If you prefer to make your own dough, you can definitely use a traditional pizza dough or flatbread dough for this recipe as well!

Ground Lamb-I love the flavor and aroma of ground lamb. If you can't find ground lamb or don't love lamb you can easily substitute ground beef and it will taste great.

Spices- A combination of spices makes up the delicious mediterranean flavors. The meat is sautéed with cumin and coriander. The naan bread is seasoned with Za'atar, which is a blend of dried herbs made up of oregano, marjoram, thyme and sesame seeds. This blend can be store bought at mediterranean markets or can be blended up on your own. The meat is sautéed with cumin and coriander as w

Cheese-A combination of shredded mozzarella cheese and feta cheese are sprinkled on the flatbread. The mozzarella cheese is added before grilled and the feta cheese is sprinkled on after grilling.

Cilantro-Adding a fresh herb flavor is the perfect way to finish off this Lamb Flatbread. I love the way cilantro has a pop of flavor but you replace the cilantro with parsley if you don't love cilantro.

What is Za'atar Spice Blend?

A savory blend of spices and dried herbs that originates from the Middle East. Each region and area has different blends but the base is pretty much the same. A combination of oregano, thyme, marjoram and sesame seeds, this blend of spices and herbs is great on pretty much everything.

Tips To Make The Best Grilled Flatbreads

On The Grill or In The Oven
The best thing about this naan flatbread is that is best grilled, but really good straight from the oven as well! If you don't have a grill or need to make this indoors, an oven at 400 degrees F will work great.

Serving Suggestions
I love serving Lamb Naan Flatbread as an appetizer for a small or large crowd or the perfect weeknight summer dinner. Once the flatbread is grilled, serve it immediately while warm with Tzatziki sauce or a drizzle of creme fraiche.

• Coat the dough balls in the cinnamon sugar mixture until they are fully coated
• Place the cinnamon sugar dough into the prepared loaf pan and set aside while you are making the caramel sauce

• In a small saucepan, combine the light brown sugar, butter and heavy cream and bring to a boil until the sugar is dissolved
• Pour the caramel sauce over the dough balls
• Cover the loaf pan with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for 45 minutes to allow the dough balls to rise

• Bake the monkey bread loaf for 35-40 minutes or until the dough is cooked all the ways through
• Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minute before inverting the monkey bread onto a serving platter

Notes

Frozen Dough
It might sound crazy but this recipe is best with frozen dinner roll dough balls! There is no need to make them from scratch. I love using Rhodes Rolls, but other brands work just as well

 

Flavor Variations

Chopped Pecans
A great addition to this monkey bread. Sprinkle pecans throughout the cinnamon sugar coated dough balls before pouring the caramel sauce on top.

Diced Apples
Adding diced apples will make this monkey bread have a delicious fall flavor. Add the apples in the cinnamon sugar dough mixture before adding the caramel sauce.

Chocolate
Make this extra gooey and chocolate by sprinkling chocolate chips into the cinnamon sugar dough mixture before adding the caramel sauce.

Banana bread, banana muffins and now Banana Upside Down Cake is a favorite in our home! We love working together to make our favorite banana breads and muffins for early morning and quick breakfast options and most the time we eat it for snack as well!

When you have perfectly browned bananas that are ready to bake with, this Upside Down Banana Cake will be a new favorite. Caramelized sliced bananas over a delicious moist and tender banana cake. Best served warm and even better with your favorite scoop of ice cream.

If you have browned bananas laying around in your kitchen, you must also try our favorite Classic Banana Bread , Banana Nut Muffins or a gluten free Blender Banana Peanut Butter Muffins.

Ingredients

Bananas
There are two ways that bananas are used in this recipe, one sliced and one smashed! Fresh bananas that have brown speckles, but not too brown and soft are the best.

Sour Cream
Can be replaced with greek yogurt if you don't have sour cream!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Caramelized Sugar 

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare an 8 inch round cake pan with non stick pan spray or melted butter 
• Melt the butter in a medium sauce pan placed over medium heat, stirring continuously 
• Add the light brown sugar to the melted butter and continue stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture starts to bubble

• Pour the caramel into the prepared cake pan and place the sliced bananas (flat side down) into the caramel; set aside

Banana Cake 

• Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside 
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, granulated sugar, eggs, sour cream, melted butter and vanilla extract; mix until just combined 
• Add the dry ingredients in to the banana mixture and whisk until all ingredients are combined 
• Spread the banana cake batter over the sliced bananas and bake for 28-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a cake tester comes out clean

How To Serve Banana Upside Down Cake

Once the cake is baked and flipped out of the pan, you can take a deep breath and enjoy the beauty of this cake! It is best to enjoy this banana cake warm and fresh out of the oven. The caramel does not last well in the refrigerator or overnight so make this and enjoy all at the same time.

Add a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top of each slice to take this cake to the next level. It will give you a Banana Fosters feel in a cake form!

Tips and FAQS To Make The Best Banana Cake

Let The Cake Rest After It Is Baked
Do not rush to flip the cake over right out of the oven. It is best to allow the cake to sit for 10 minutes to all the caramel to thicken up and make it easier to flip over

There is nothing better than homemade baked tortilla chips and when they are shaped as hearts, I am in love!

Homemade Heart Tortilla Chips are made with three simple ingredients and in under 20 minutes and you will have the most delicious crisp chips for your favorite salsa, guacamole, served on a charcuterie board or even the base of your favorite nachos!

Ingredients

Tortillas-White or yellow corn tortillas!
Oil- Avocado oil is my preferred oil, but you can use vegetable or olive oil. I love using the Pure Avocado Oil Spray to make it much easier then brushing each piece.
Salt- Sprinkle as much or as little course sea salt as you like. If you don't love the crunch, you can use regular table salt as well!

Step-by-Step Directions

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F
• Cut the tortillas in hearts using a heart shaped cookie cutter 
• Place the tortillas on a baking sheet and spray or brush each side of the heart shaped tortillas with avocado oil and sprinkle one side with course sea salt

• Bake in the preheated oven for 12-13 minutes or until the tortillas are light golden and crisp
• Remove the baked tortilla chips from the oven and place each piece on a paper towel to soak up the extra oil
• Allow them to cool completely before serving or storing 

Cooking Tips and FAQS For Baked Tortilla Chips

Brush or Spray Oil
Make sure to not over oil the tortillas so that they will be crisp! I love using Pure Avocado Oil Spray so that there is a light mist over all the tortilla hearts, but you can brush each tortilla with oil before cutting into the desired shape as well.

Storing Homemade Baked Tortilla Chips
Once the tortilla chips are cooled, store them in a large ziplock bag for up to 3 days for the freshest flavor.
