Alright, I'ma need you to bear with me through this one with some TRUST, people. Because this recipe sounds weird, and it might be a little hard to wrap your head around. Savory oatmeal...I was the most skeptical of all time when recipe testing this. I've only ever had oatmeal with things like brown sugar, maple syrup, bananas, cinnamon, fruit, etc...always sweet and breakfast-y - NEVER savory and ...
Overnight Crock-Pot Pumpkin Apple Butter
If you are from an area of the country/world that doesn't have apple butter, and you've never heard of it/don't know what it is, allow me to please explain to you the beauty of this delicious item. Apple butter. There's actually no butter, but "butter" is in the title because of the smooth, velvety spreadability of the final, pureed, slow cooked apple product. It's like jam in the way that you ...
Maple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Cups
When you are a parent, the more super quick and easy shortcuts you can take with various things throughout the day are KEY. I am a big fan of these shortcuts when it comes to breakfast. My son loves breakfast - it's the best he eats all day - baaasically an adult portion of food. What I usually do is make him a protein pancake (Kodiak Cakes FTW) and a smoothie. He loves the pancake, it's not ...
Baked Breakfast Sliders with Maple Butter Sauce
I am the antithesis of the horrendous and offensive term "morning person." If I wake up on my own without any alarms, then I'm okay. But, about 14 months ago, I gave birth to a permanent, living alarm clock that has zero snooze button capabilities, so since then there hasn't been tons of "waking up on my own." (He's the cutest alarm clock ever, though.) Things I can do to make my mornings less ...
Avocado “Toast” with a Sunny Side Up Egg
Okay, so I'm excited about this one. Breakfast can be a struggle for me, especially while doing Whole 30. I get sick of the same breakfasts over and over again, and I get frustrated with the lack of options. When I'm not on Whole 30, I tend to cycle between phases of eggs, protein pancakes, sometimes things like oatmeal or toast, and then when I get super sick of breakfast all together, just ...
Pumpkin Spice Granola
Alright, first of all, I've gotta give a big shout-out to my friends over at Chobani for sending me a delicious package of their products. I love representing companies that I can actually stand behind, and Chobani is definitely one of those companies! Greek yogurt is always something I have in my fridge, and Chobani is always the brand I buy. Especially now that they came out with their whole ...
Pumpkin Bread French Toast
Hold the phone. Hold. The. PHONE. French toast made with homemade pumpkin bread is happening all up in here right now. And let me tell you people, it is sweet, fall-y, rich, dense, and SO flavorful. Does it get much better than pumpkin bread in the first place? I can't attest to your feelings on the delicious loaf of autumnal goodness, but for me personally, I would be content sitting in my ...
Peanut Butter “Chonana” Superfood Milkshake [21 Day Fix]
Ima be real with you. This milkshake is the love of my life. And I have so many things to say about it...and it's late...but we're going to power through because this deliciousness deserves a worthy post. LET'S DO THIS. First of all..."Chonana"? You are probably thinking "Why is this crazy lady making up weird words?" I shall tell you...I cannot take credit for the invention of this word. When I ...
Healthy Chocolate Pancakes with Coconut Whipped Cream [21 Day Fix]
Breakfast is definitely not my favorite meal of the day. Eggs are decent. Yogurt and granola is alright. It's not that I dislike any of it, per se - I would just rather have lunch or dinner food. However, there are a few exceptions, one of which is pancakes! (The other is bacon...because...bacon.) Pancakes are just so delicious! They are fluffy and yummy and fun to make and eat ???. Downside = ...
3 Ingredient Vanilla Greek Yogurt
Um...what happened in November...? I feel like November passed in three days. Guess how many times I posted in November? GUESS?!?! Four. Four times. Whoops. I'm sorryyyyyyyyyyy. I don't even know what happened. Actually I do know what happened. I traveled my FACE off. When you have a full time job and are only able to cook/photograph blog food on weekends, traveling on said weekends makes ...
