Breakfast

These cottage cheese blueberry pancakes are great for your weekly meal prep.  So delicious! This was such a strange weekend.  Other than going to Bed Bath & Beyond to buy a new food processor (I broke one that a follower sent me 🙁 ) wherein I was the only person in the store.  I literally walked in, walked to the aisle where the food processors...

Hannah’s birthday was last Saturday, and I can hardly believe that she is 28 years old already.  Like, what?!   So in honor of her birthday I made these mini lemon bundt cakes – so cute! Also cute – baby Hannah at age 3!  This was at my Mom’s house and I remember she was walking by and leaning against my Mom’s refrigerator and said “take...

These banana oat pancakes are so good. My meal plan strategy is going over the weekend and was looking through sale flyers, but realized I still had plenty of food in my fridge/freezer and pantry that I didn’t need to buy anything but fresh fruit. This week I spent $6.68 cents on groceries.  Hannah doesn’t like a speck of brown on bananas – they were...

Safe + Fair's Seasonal Chocolate Candy Cane granola is the star of these Brie and cherry danishes. These are 5 smart points no matter with @ww plan you chose. These taste like grown up Hostess cherry pies!

My friend MaryBeth is the inspiration for these breakfast casserole muffins.  She was our Head Chef at our last Cooking Club and she made the most delicious breakfast casserole.  While delicious, it wasn’t the most WW friendly dish – it was made with Grand’s biscuits, pork sausage, heavy cream, cheddar cheese – full metal jacket! But she said the only problem with making it for...

I am sad to say that the honeycrisp apple pie granola is now officially sold out.  Probably because I posted this recipe for Caramel Apple Muffins last week that pushed them over the edge.  Ha! Seriously though, these muffins are insanely delicious and only 4 WW points each.  #winning Hannah and Jacob went apple picking with their godson a couple weeks ago, and I had...

My weekend in L.A. was amazing, but I am still working on my blog posts about it because I don’t want to rush my thoughts.  Everything was amazing, from flying first class for the first time (um, that’s amazing!) to the accommodations to this amazing company that I have the privilege of working with – stay tuned – I promise to fill you in! On...

These pumpkin cheesecake muffins need to go on your list of things to make soon. I know there are some people out there who hate pumpkin season, but I love it.  I pretty much have a can of pumpkin (or 10) in my pantry all year round.  I’ve been dying to try the new pumpkin spice cheese spread from Alouette, and thought to make pumpkin...

These skinny pizza dough bagels will quickly become your favorite! It was a strange weekend in my house without having Hannah and Jacob home.  Even though it’s just the three of us in the house, I am hardly every alone in the house.  I thought for sure I’d have music blaring while in the kitchen, but it was the complete opposite. They always have their...

I had a wonderful weekend.  It was the perfect balance of spending time with family, being bizzy in my kitchen and relaxing.  And while I am sure the rest of the world is all about pumpkin spice season, I will always choose apple over pumpkin.  Honeycrisp apples or Fuji apples would be great for this recipe.  I used honeycrisp. I have a slight love affair...
