It’s officially the springtime!
The spring always makes me think of strawberries, even though I could happily enjoy strawberries year-round. (And I kind of did during the final portion of pregnancy… they were just SO good with everything!)
You know what else I think about during the springtime?
Lemonade.
Hi all, Cat from The Rustic Willow here. Happy St. Patrick’s Day! I hope you all are eating loads of green things today. I’m here to share a recipe with you that uses green apples–so I guess I’m in the holiday spirit.
I’ve been on such a health kick lately! I think it’s due to the fact that I recently moved to Colorado and everyone has such an active lifestyle here–it’s contagious!
Usually when I try to eat healthier, snacking is my downfall. I can prepare healthy meals all day long, but I’m always craving some ice cream or chocolate. I decided to finally tackle apple chips for a healthy snack instead! I’ve always wanted to try them but I kept putting them off. I’m not sure what I was afraid of, because these are so easy to make!
I say it a lot, breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I went through a phase of a few years where I didn’t eat breakfast, but now I have to eat within the first hour of being awake. So therefore I’ve embraced my need for breakfast and therefore my new love of breakfast. I don’t eat eggs though, so finding a substantial breakfast that is delicious has always been a challenge. Until these breakfast strawberry scones.
Lately, I’ve been making a much greater effort to watch the amount of carbs in my diet. I of course still enjoy carbs, (I flipping LOVE bread after all!) but I’m really conscious to make sure that I’m cutting unnecessary carbs out of my diet so that when I really want to enjoy a brownie or some breadsticks I don’t feel guilty about it. I guess you could say I’m budgeting my carbs wisely. Which is why I really love these Breakfast Burrito Stuffed Peppers!
