Love these for a snack, or when I’m craving chocolate – a great alternative to junk food.
Breakfast
Shakshuka
Need an easy dinner based on things you already have on hand? If your pantry and fridge are stocked like mine, then this is your dish. These basics are always on hand – you could just as easily skip the feta if you didn’t have it, and it will be just as good. Promise. 3 Tbsp […]
Healthier Instant Oatmeal
I need more options for a quick breakfast. This mix is easy to make on the weekend, far cheaper and healthier than the store-bought varieties, and even easier to mix up in the morning. I keep some at work, and just add the hot water from the cooler – stir, and enjoy! Oatmeal Base 5 […]
Whole Wheat Banana Flax Bread
WAIT – don’t judge this as bland tasteless bread just from the name. This bread is packed with delicious flavor and nutrition to stick with you all morning. Bake a loaf on Sunday, slice it, store it in the fridge, and toast a slice each morning. Top it with peanut butter, and you’ve really got […]
Cinnamon Raisin Breakfast Quinoa
This breakfast quinoa was born out out necessity – I had to address my greek yogurt addiction in the mornings. I love that it has so much protein, but I needed to control the amount of sugar. I tried plain and adding my toppings, but then I would add way too much honey (not because […]
Morning Glory Muffins
As weekdays mornings are getting earlier and busier, we’re searching for healthy, high protien, and high fiber breakfast foods to take on the go. I love to grab a Greek yogurt when I can, but most mornings I don’t even have time for that. Enter these muffins benefiting from protien from the pecans, fiber and […]
Banana Crumb Muffins
These muffins are sure to be a new favorite breakfast treat on the weekends – full of banana flavor, ultra moist, yet satisfyingly dense. This may even become the best banana bread recipe that you’re ever tried. What’s more, these are the perfect morning snack to travel with. I made these the night before a […]
Millet Granola
I’ve always wanted to make my own granola, and for some reason it alluded me. You can find plenty of store-bought brands that are pretty good, but when I look at the ingredients I usually shudder at the fats used in the process. Certainly nuts are high in fat – good, delicious fat – and […]
Breakfast at Fleur de Lis
Nothing tastes as good as a fresh biscuit sandwich with ham, egg and cheese with a side of hash downs smothered in sausage gravy. After a late night on Bourbon Street this was amazing!!
Monkey Bread
My Mom made money bread when I was in high school on Sunday mornings. My sister and I had never heard of it until one evening when we were making dinner. My Dad started to go on and on about “monkey bread” and how Mom used to make it all the time when they started […]
