Did you know it’s National Breakfast Month? Maybe because it’s time for kids to go back to school and they need a good breakfast. I have no idea. I don’t know who makes this stuff up, but it’s fun. I’ve been cooking up a lot of breakfasts lately for some photo shoots, and it’s been…
Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins (Worth Getting Up For)
That’s it. I’m done. No more pretending to be something I’m not. I’ve denied it, I’ve fought it, I’ve tried to change it. Nothing. No change. I’m just going to have to live with it. Learn to be awesome in spite of myself. Maybe confession will be good for the soul. Okay, here goes…as much as…
Thick & Fluffy Whole Wheat Waffles
Today it’s my pleasure to share with you my favorite Whole Wheat Waffle recipe. We just had these for breakfast today and I thought it would only be fair to share! I woke up to the sound of a coughing little boy. I soon found a coughing little boy snuggled beside me in my…
Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
The life of a food blogger can get cruel sometimes. You may be jealous of me right now, thinking that I’m eating these wonderful whole-wheat blueberry muffins for breakfast. But you’d be wrong. Nope. No muffins today. Because, in order to have this post ready for you I made these muffins a few weeks…
Raspberry-Banana (green) Smoothie
Sometimes I wonder if the next smoothie can really be all that different from the last. I especially wondered that about this one. I already have my Berry-Banana smoothie, I wondered if this would be too similar. But I can say, now that I’ve tried it, that the two are definitely different. For starters, this…
Strawberry-Lemon Whole Wheat Muffins
This is one of my favorite muffins. It started with my grandmother’s recipe for blueberry muffins, which I always loved as a child. But it wasn’t the healthiest breakfast; white flour, vegetable oil, white sugar, yikes! So, I altered it a bit, and now I make good old fashioned (but healthier) blueberry as well as…
Coconut Dream Smoothie
I’ve been craving this smoothie for weeks. I knew I wanted something creamy and comforting with just a touch of coconut. I saw a recipe similar to this, except without the peaches. I don’t actually love coconut when it’s the prominent flavor, or pineapple, for that matter. But they both make wonderful “back flavors”. I…
Berry-Banana (Green) Smoothie
This the first “green” smoothie I ever made. Before I heard about green smoothies, I used to make smoothies with no greens, milk instead of coconut or almond milk, and even a little bit of sweetener. (Never artificial though!). Then I discovered the art of The Green Smoothie and I’ll never go back. I have…
Buttermilk Syrup
Don’t hate me for sharing this recipe. I know. It’s not exactly health food. But it could be worse. And yet, it could hardly be better. You really don’t even need the toast. It’s just there to hold the syrup. It’s very easy. Just Get a heavy pot (not huge, just heavy so it won’t…
Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal Smoothie
Oatmeal. It’s good for you. It’s smooth, creamy, and warm. The ultimate comfort breakfast. But sometimes I’m more in the mood for “refreshing” than “comfort”. And sometimes I’m in a hurry, or on the go. And sometimes I just want my Vitamix to earn its keep. Enter the Cinnamon-Apple Oatmeal Smoothie. Apple-Cinnamon Oatmeal Smoothie …
