Breakfast

Ever since we went apple picking in early September, it’s been “what else can I make with apples!”  And I am not sad about it.  I’ve literally had an apple a day (at least!) since then.  Instead of drinking wine and potato chips on the train ride home, I am eating an apple!  Go me!     This is a honeycrisp apple – I don’t know...

On Sunday morning, since I had the whole house to myself because my roommates spent the night in the city, I literally cooked from about 8 a.m. in the morning until 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon.  It was awesome!  I was determined to do a fridge/pantry/freezer meal plan this week because I knew I had plenty of food to eat, and it does make you...

Apple Coffee Cake Muffins I made muffins over the weekend. Not just any muffins – apple coffee cake muffins!  OMG, these are hands down the best muffins I have ever made.  They taste just like coffee cake to me.  And each one is only 6 Weight Watchers points and 191 calories.  UPDATE!  This recipe was originally written in 2019, using an outdated recipe card.  So...

Copycat Starbucks Vanilla Bean Scones Recipe This copycat Starbucks Vanilla Bean scones recipe will be your go to recipe when making scones. My daughter and her husband are obsessed with Starbucks and typically go at least once, if not twice a day.   They love the vanilla bean scones. Hannah texted me and said “Iowa Girl Eats has a good looking recipe.” I’ve “known” Kristin for...

I’m not mad about still having about 10 pounds of apples.  The only thing I was mad about this weekend was our temperatures – in the mid 80s!  That didn’t prevent me from heating my stove to 425 degrees to make these oatmeal crunch apple scones.  I have to give credit to my girl Jessica from How Sweet Eats for the inspiration on this one. ...

The night before last as I was scrolling through Instagram before calling it a night, I saw Jennifer from The Lemon Apron post these everything bacon apple breakfast biscuits, and I was pissed that I didn’t see the recipe earlier because I had everything to make them.  Look at how gorgeous they look!! Flakey, crunchy crust, tender on the inside, salty, sweet from the apple. ...

We went apple picking this weekend!!  And by we – I mean me, Hannah AND Jacob!  Which was the inspiration for these pumpkin apple waffles – its like fall just threw up in your mouth in the best way possible. That’s basically how I write recipes – I look online, take something from one recipe, something from another, then throw my two cents in and...

These low point banana muffins are still low in points as of 2023!  Back in the day, it wasn’t unusual for me eat a giant Otis Spunkmeyer banana nut muffin with a giant Dr. Pepper on my way to work.  In case anyone is counting WW points – that would be 18 points for just the muffin – and that was my “appetizer.”  I’d probably...

The perfect excuse to have tater tots for breakfast - make this tater tot breakfast tart!

I am finally posting my recipe for these mini veggie quiches which come in at 5 smart points and have an actual pie crust.  These will be in my regular rotation for breakfast meals.  They are so customizable, use any leftover veggies you have on hand, and the dough will last in the fridge for up to a week.  The secret to a flakey pie...
