Breakfast

You won’t be able to tell this is a lightened up banana bread.  It’s so light and delicious! My late husband LOVED his Mom’s banana bread.  And no wonder because it had 1 1/2 sticks of butter and 1 1/2 cups of sugar.  I’ve tasted it and it’s delicious.  But her recipe is also 15 WW points per slice. This is my homage to her...

My go to “snack” on my way to work on the train was an Otis Spunkmeyer banana nut muffin.  Those are 20 WW points!  These jumbo zucchini muffins come in at just 8 – whoop! When I think back to how I used to eat, it was no wonder I got to 211 pounds.  With my recent loss this week of another 1.2 pounds, my...

Nearly 5 years ago I wrote a recipe for mini veggie quiches.  That recipe called for 2 tablespoons of butter Crisco. The recipe was due for a makeover, so I subbed in just one tablespoon of salted butter and the result is these biscuit quiches.  The crust tastes like biscuits! This is perfect for meal prep, because you can make them over the weekend.  My...

These strawberry lemon muffins are the perfect spring breakfast or snack. Each one is 4 WW points and around 180 calories.  Delish! I recently found Beth from The First Year on Instagram.  You can find her blog here. If you’ve been around here for a bit, you know I don’t bake much.  Because it’s a science.  You need to mix the right ingredients together and...

These birthday cake donuts turned out so good! Baking is not my forte, so I looked at a bunch of recipes online to find baked donut recipes. Many of them had yeast and required a slow rise overnight in the fridge, and I wasn’t about that life. Ina Garten had a recipe that was more of a “batter” but when I saw that her 12...

Blueberry Cottage Cheese Scones These blueberry cottage cheese scones taste like a scone and a biscuit had a baby.  So light and fluffy! Cottage cheese is getting a glow up and I am here for it.  It seems that on every social media feed I am finding more and more recipes with cottage cheese. If you think you don’t like cottage cheese, I highly recommend...

You will want to put this Classic Idaho® Russet Potato Crusted Quiche on the top of your list of recipes to make! If you have followed me for any length of time, you know I puffy heart potatoes.  Like a lot.  The number one question I get asked though when I eat them is: “Biz, you are diabetic, you shouldn’t be eating potatoes!” False!  Not...

These almond scones are probably the best scones I’ve made to date – so good! Ever have the Starbucks Almond Croissant?  Not even sure they still sell them, but back in the day, I would eat one of those as a snack.  Like on the train going to work.  A pre-breakfast if you will. That “pre-breakfast” was 17 points.  Gah.   When Hannah and I were...

These are a few of my favorite Weight Watcher breakfast recipes.  The only one that is make ahead is the chia pudding, but the rest can be ready in just a short time.  Best part is that the waffles and pancakes make multiple servings, so cook once and enjoy all week! Let us know if you try any of these recipes!  We would love it...

These Banana Bran Muffins were inspired by my grandmother’s bran muffin recipe. Her original recipe called for a whole cup of sugar as well as a cup of oil. I thought because they were bran muffins that meant they were healthy, and would happily eat multiple in one sitting!  On the flip side, there have been plenty of bran muffins I’ve tried that tasted like...
