Cookies and Cream Scones

August 6, 2014 ·

Cookies and Cream Scones are light, buttermilk scones studded with chunks of cream-filled chocolate cookies!

Pastries, muffins, doughnuts and scones are often enjoyed as a delicious breakfast treat. However sometimes I find there is a grey area as to whether or not those treats actually qualify as breakfast. They may not quite be dessert either, but perhaps more suitable for an afternoon treat, such as an old-fashioned afternoon tea. At least that is what I envisioned while putting a modern twist on a traditional scone recipe for these Cookies and Cream Scones!

Spicy Black Bean Breakfast Burger

June 5, 2014 ·

Get a protein-packed breakfast in minutes with this Spicy Black Bean Breakfast Burger. Perfect for when you want something quick, healthy and delicious!

Lately, I have been feeling more tired than usual and end up hungry in the late mornings. With intense morning workouts and spending long days caring for the kids, I am thinking it might be time to change up my breakfast routine and get a little more protein. My usual breakfast consists of oatmeal with cocoa powder, flax seed meal and a banana.

While I occasionally deviate to something with a little more protein, like Greek yogurt with berries or a smoothie, it always comes back to carb-heavy oatmeal. It’s quick to make, and I really like a hot breakfast. Thankfully this Spicy Black Bean Breakfast Burger has become the protein-packed solution to my breakfast woes.

Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake

April 18, 2014 ·

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of the Facts Up Front program.

Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake is a lemony buttermilk cake made with whole wheat flour and studded with poppy seeds.

This Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake is made with fresh lemon zest and juice, buttermilk, poppy seeds and whole wheat flour. It is a delicious coffee cake that is great for a special breakfast, snack or light dessert. This cake is so lemony, bright and cheery, it reminds me of spring. Now that we have warmer temperatures and snow melting, spring is finally on its way! One of my favorite things about spring is finally getting outside and being active as a family. We love to run, go on bike rides or just kick around the soccer ball. When kicking our healthy habits into high gear, I also find that we start paying more attention to what we eat. I recently used this Nutrition Calculator to find out my daily caloric needs, as well as fiber, protein and other important nutrients.

Southwestern Quinoa Egg Bake is made with a mix of vegetables, quinoa, three cheeses and seasoned bread crumbs. It takes minutes to prepare and then bakes into delicious brunch perfection!

With Easter Sunday only a few weeks away, I am working on planning our brunch menu. We always like to have something carrot cake-inspired (Carrot Cake pancakes are definitely a favorite!) We also enjoy having a savory egg bake, packed with lots vegetables and cheese. This year, I wanted to give our egg bake a southwestern twist. Then I discovered that Kraft Fresh Take has a new Southwestern Three Cheese flavor. The savory blend of garlic, cumin and red chili pepper bread crumbs along with the Colby, mozzarella and cheddar cheese sounded just perfect for this Southwestern Quinoa Egg Bake!

Overnight Blueberry Baked French Toast #SundaySupper

March 23, 2014 ·

Overnight Blueberry Baked French Toast is made with custard soaked French bread cubes and studded with juicy fresh blueberries and cream cheese throughout. This dish is perfect for brunch, but I love it for breakfast for dinner because it is so easy. It takes minutes to prepare, can be made ahead, and then just bake in the oven until golden and delicious. The result is decadent, yet made on the lighter side using a ‘secret’ ingredient….

We are always looking for quick and easy breakfasts – something healthy that can be eaten on-the-go. And when that means eating (healthy) cookies for breakfast, even better! When I stumbled upon these vegan breakfast cookies, I could not get to the kitchen fast enough to whip up a batch. Almond Butter Oatmeal Breakfast Cookies are really easy to make, using ingredients commonly found in the pantry. They taste even better the second day (or third, if they last that long). Since they are so moist and chewy, I stored them in the refrigerator. They were really tasty chilled as well!
