This is the perfect banana bread to be served at breakfast with a slab of your favorite nut butter. It’s extremely moist and flavorful, with a crunchy and sweet walnut topping.
This yogurt parfait is a combination of my two favorite meals, breakfast and dessert. It has thick and creamy yogurt layered between sweet and tender cinnamon apples, topped with crunchy granola and a sweet sticky caramel sauce. If there was ever a yogurt parfait with my name on it, this would be it.
Looking for a healthy snack that is easy to make, low in added sugar, and easy to pack and take on the go? These mini dired prune and walnut oatmeal bites fit into all those categories. They are slightly sweet, nutty, and chewy. They are the perfect 2 - 3 bite snack that will keep you fueled for hours.
I am excited to share this highly versatile and incredibly easy-to-make biscuit recipe with you. You absolutely must try these biscuits for breakfast with delicious blueberry jam, or with an egg and some cheese, depending on whether you prefer sweet or savory. Trust me, you won't regret it!
I started my health journey by joining the gym just down the street and committing to 5 days a week. Some days I dragged myself out of bed to the gym and ran on the treadmill like a zombie, becasue I knew that eventually, all the hard work would pay off.
A few days ago I had a craving for dinner pancakes, which shouldn't be confused with breakfast pancakes. Technically they are the same things, it's just that pancakes for dinner are so much more exciting because they are out of the ordinary.
I love a good bran muffin. They don't have to contain fruit or nuts, but they have to be made with a combination of wheat and oat bran, taste a little sweet with a slight hint of molasses, tender and moist.
wanted to share with you guys one recipe, in particular, Laura's seedy sesame granola bars with chocolate. These bars are so easy to make, delicious, and tahini + chocolate, need I say more. I made a batch last week and we've been snacking on them since.
Light and fluffy pancakes with a hint of vanilla, topped with caramelized bananas, a Nutella ganache, and candied pecans - amen. Basically the breakfast of my dreams.
I wanted to create something wholesome and healthy for Ashley, and breakfast skillets are a great way to incorporate lots of delicious things into one meal. This winter vegetable skillet has potatoes, Brussel sprouts, mushrooms, orange peppers, eggs, cheese, and avocado. It is so easy to prepare, and is so insanely delicious!
The base is just a standard loaf recipe - flour, baking soda, baking powder, eggs, etc. To that, I have added Granny Smith apples that have been left to rest in sugar and cinnamon to bring out the sweetness.
Sebastian is especially into these savory corn and cheddar waffles. They are fun and kid-friendly, but I also really like eating them myself, so it's a win-win for all of us. I usually make a large batch and then store them in the fridge and reheat over the course of a few days.
I was feeling an above-average level of confidence, so I decided to make some tater tots from scratch. I liked the idea of adding something green and healthy, something with a bold flavor. I opted for broccoli rabe because I really like the flavor and texture after a quick blanch and a saute in the frying pan with some salt and butter, and I thought the flavors would work so well.
I think my obsession with lemon pancakes sparked after that Mother's Day trip to Cafe Flora, and then the return visit with Brent's parents, just to order the lemon pancakes. I've been dreaming about them ever since.
The easy part of this recipe was coming up with the taco fillings. Lucky for me, I am a creature of habit, and my breakfast tacos always contain the same ingredients. The hard part was trying to come up with a recipe that replicated the tangy spicy orange sauce that was served on top.
Lately, I've become completely obsessed with Chobani Flip Yogurt - especially the chocolate haze craze, which got me thinking (for all those people who don't have access to Chobani), why not make a version of my own chocolate yogurt, for my post workout fuel.
This loaf is made with all sorts of good stuff like whole wheat flour, oats, applesauce, coconut oil, flaked coconut, almonds, and raspberries. It's thick and moist and hearty and flavorful and everything that I am looking for in a breakfast loaf.
The casserole turned out perfect. It was the first time I had made something like it, and I was so pleased with the results. I picked up a fresh loaf of brioche bread from the market, which smelled incredible. I think the key to a good French toast is having a really good loaf of brioche.
Last week, I decided that it had been too long since we'd enjoyed crepes together. I came down to the kitchen and started preparing the batter. That particular morning, our fridge was lacking the necessary savory ingredients Brent enjoys. I thought this was the perfect opportunity to win him over to my side - sweet crepes with yogurt.
While I'm on the subject of French toast, for my third recipe challenge I chose to make a slightly spicy, slightly cheesy, savory French toast with a side of honey. If you've never tried a savory French toast with some sort of cheese, you must.
This week I am super excited to be participating in the #TABASCO10 third annual 10 Ingredient Challenge. The challenge involves creating 5 different recipes in 5 days with the following 10 ingredients: TABASCO® Original Red, Green Jalapeño or Chipotle Sauce, Chicken, Eggs, Mozzarella, Fennel Bulb, Zucchini , Rice (Brown, Basmati, Jasmine or Wild), Rigatoni, Ciabatta, and Honey (Salt, pepper, oil are 'free' ingredients).
The berries that I picked up on Sunday were at the overripe stage by Monday, so I decided to let them macerate in some granulated sugar to pull out some juices and increase the sweetness slightly and to store a little longer.
I saw a picture on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago of bananas foster. I haven't been able to stop thinking about that picture since. It's like I have been living and dreaming bananas foster for weeks.
Brent went on a 4-day ski trip, and I decided to make bagels. Not the best timing, since I was left with 17 bagels and no one but myself to eat them. So I invited over some friends, we ate what we could, and the rest are in the freezer.
This month I have teamed up with the folks over at DOLE to bring you a heart-healthy, heart-inspired recipe for American Heart Health month. It also just so happens to be Valentines Day this weekend, so if you're looking to make something healthy, delicious, and sweet (and in the shape of a heart!), this recipe is for you.
I had two apples sitting on the counter, a sheet of frozen puff pastry in the freezer, and an idea to transform them into a puff pastry apple turnover pocket of pure delicious. It was problem solving and multi tasking at its finest.
I've now made these waffles a handful of times. Everyone seems to adore them. They are an American style Belgium waffle, light and fluffy, sweet, and crispy on the outside.
When your day starts off with crepes, blueberries, and ice cream for breakfast, you can't help but think that although being a grown-up involves stressy things like mortgages and taxes, when you are a grown-up you can make decisions that involve dessert for breakfast. Sweet indulgent dessert.
The thing I love most about this loaf cake is that you can eat it for breakfast and no one will judge. This is perfect for me because I always struggle with finding things to eat for breakfast. If you are looking for other foods that double as dessert and also breakfast, pancakes, waffles, and muffins are all totally acceptable, even if you cover them in chocolate and raspberries, caramel, ice cream, and sprinkles, am I right?
Stewed prunes often have a negative connotation attached but they are sweet, plump, and tender! I am perfectly happy enjoying them on their own as an after-dinner treat, but I also really like to serve them as a topping on my morning oatmeal.
