Holy Moly Mother of God! THE WIFE™ is loving this 19th century French pastry that holds court with a name so fitting… Kouign Amann, pronounced “Queen Ah-Mon“. The name is derived from the Breton words for cake (“kouign”) and butter (“amann”). This addictively delicious pastry hangs out in the same tribe as the cronut, but is denser than a croissant and more layered than a doughnut. If that weren’t enough, the dough contains layers upon layers of butter and sugar magically folded in.

THE WIFE™ discovered this magnificent morning treat last year at Williams Sonoma. We think these make the perfect housewarming gift accompanied by a jar of sweet berry jam. Then on recent trip to Trader Joe’s we found the precious pasties in the frozen section…. Game changer! Order a set of 8 at Williams-Sonoma.com for $39.95 or pick up at a box of 4 at Trader Joe’s, for a fraction of the price at $3.99. -THE WIFE™

THE WIFE’s newest obsession comes from the original cupcake house, Sprinkles. Turns out they’ve gone vegan and it’s the best thing on their menu! Traditional dairy products are substituted with vegan friendly ingredients, including pure coconut oil. The result is a cake so moist with frosting so rich. Just look for the red V to know it’s Vegan Red Velvet! Trust us when we say order two! –THE WIFE™

THE WIFE’s newest favorite discovery is the Tonewood Maple Sugar Cube. A breakfast must have during the holiday season. As delicious as it is stylish, the pure maple sugar cube is a unique option for adding a touch of sweetness to your favorite morning snacks. Use a traditional grater and then sprinkle the sugary shavings over the top of oatmeal, fruit, or ice cream for a sweet delicate twist. Makes for the perfect housewarming gift paired with gourmet steal cut oatmeal. Available in Golden Delicate (buttery maple flavor) or Dark Robust (intense maple flavor), 7oz. $16.99 at Tonewoodmaple.com -Taryn Cox for THE WIFE™

Coffee is an essential staple of THE WIFE’s diet, but have you heard of Bulletproof high performance coffee? Bulletproof coffee is used by recording artists before they go on stage and world champion athletes, because it has a massive impact on energy and cognitive function. Cheap coffee full of toxins, stealing your mental edge and actually making you weaker. However, clean coffee is actually healthy and gives you important antioxidants you need.

Lets be honest… THE WIFE™ can’t afford unhealthy coffee for all the energy required for those never-ending wifely duties. In addition to switching to Bulletproof, Founder Dave Asprey, has also created the ultimate recipe to keep THE WIFE™ feeling energised and focussed. Brew it and blend it with grass-fed butter along with coconut oil. Yes, you heard right, butter! Butter has all the benefits of healthy milk fat with none of the damaging denatured casein proteins found in cream. It makes for the creamiest, most satisfying cup of coffee you’ve ever had.

 This “Brain Octane Oil” will boost your morale for 6:00 am alarms clocks, board meetings, school pick ups and demanding children and husbands. Download the recipe card HERE or Click “continue reading” for the Bulletproof Coffee Recipe. -Taryn Cox for THE WIFE™
