They say the best time of the year is the holiday season, but I think Girl Scout cookie season follows in a close second. I ordered four boxes for myself this year—what’s $16 if it’s helping America’s next generation of female leaders, right? Totally worth the money. But with four boxes of cookies, I had some wiggle room to get creative. I woke up Saturday … Continue reading Girl Scout Cookie French Toast
The sad truth is that I don’t eat enough fruit. It’s always an option, but it’s almost always overlooked. Sometimes I scoop myself some peanut butter to eat along with a sliced apple, and I’ll admit I’m obsessed with chocolate covered strawberries, but unless there is some kind of incentive (like chocolate or peanut butter), I usually don’t go for it. We all know how … Continue reading Simple Fruit & Yogurt Parfaits
It used to be hard to wake up in the morning and cook a decent breakfast—not because I wasn’t hungry (I’m one of those people who can eat the minute I wake up), but because I was often too short on time. I usually opted for a bowl of cereal, but my stomach was once again growling by 10am. Then, I learned how to soft … Continue reading protein-packed avocado toast
Breakfast has always been my least favorite meal. Whenever I go to a diner, even if it’s at 9am, I’ll never order breakfast food (my personal diner favorite? A classic BLT). With that said, I do enjoy the occasional sweet breakfast, such as stuffed French toast from my favorite old-time, beachside breakfast place, or fluffy, homemade chocolate chip pancakes. There’s nothing like the taste of … Continue reading classic choco chip pancakes
While everyone else is out there saying, “New year, new me,” I’m over here saying, “New year, same obsession with food.” This morning, I woke up and realized that today was going to be my last day of binge eating for a while (okay, maybe a little bit of a new me), because I really let myself enjoy the holiday season and didn’t worry so … Continue reading sweet French toast bake
Saturday morning is my favorite time of the week. I don’t have to get up and go to work today, and I don’t have to get up and go to work tomorrow. It’s also the perfect time to cook myself a fancy breakfast (and photograph it for my blog if the lighting’s right!). Today, it was blueberry stuffed French toast. My favorite vacation spot, Ocean … Continue reading blueberry stuffed French toast
Every now and then I get tired of looking at the standard egg scramble on my plate at 9 a.m. Since eggs aren’t really my thing, I like to switch up my breakfast recipes every once in a while – both in style and flavor. Our senses work together; what our eyes find appealing has an effect on what our taste buds find appealing. A huge part … Continue reading baked egg muffins
simply delicious.
