I wasn’t one that always liked oatmeal. To be honest I really hated the stuff! So what changed my mind? I think it was the fact that I could change up the flavoring, like in these Bacon Maple Oatmeal Cups, and bake it for an on-the-go breakfast that turned me into an oatmeal lovin’ fool. And the fact that it’s such a healthy way to start the day is a big plus! [Read more…]
It’s a great day for a holiday, don’t you think?
Happy Thanksgiving to all of my fellow Americans! Today is one of my favorite holidays as a foodie, for obvious reasons – it’s all about eating!! I love taking a classic recipe and getting creative with it – putting my own spin on it, and really making it my own. I can’t wait to be able to share those kinds of recipes with my future kids and grandkids, and maybe one day in the future, they’ll call my recipes classics.
Of course, Thanksgiving is an all-day event, spent mostly in the kitchen and over the stove. But before you toss that turkey in your oven, why not treat your family to an equally impressive breakfast? This Kielbasa Breakfast Hash is easy, filling, and delicious, and will take no more than 30 minutes to make, giving you that much more time to prep for your big dinner! [Read more…]
Tis the season for sweet potatoes! And boy, do I love sweet potatoes! And fall, being the peak of their season, is the best time to whip something up with these healthy, orange beauties. I mean, what would Thanksgiving and Christmas be without this colorful potato?
Fall is here and nothing reminds me of the season more than pumpkin. It doesn’t seem to matter what form it takes, I love pumpkin anything!
But put pumpkin in a smoothie bowl – and it just about tops everything else pumpkin! So now you are probably asking yourself, what’s a smoothie bowl? Well, it’s exactly what it sounds like. A smoothie that is made thick enough to place in a bowl and eat with a spoon. The best thing about smoothie bowls is you can top it with your favorite healthy toppings, anything from granola to berries, sliced fruit to nuts and seeds or even dates and extra spices. This makes a smoothie bowl so much more satisfying than a smoothie in a glass. It’s that spoon/fork to mouth relationship with food that gives you the feeling that you actually ate a meal rather than just sipped a drink. In other words, it’s perfect!
