Breakfast

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...

Apologies in advance if you aren’t a pumpkin person, but I love these pumpkin oat pancakes.  This is the only fluffy pancake recipe you’ll need. This recipe was revamped recipe from my site a few years ago, and I am loving these fluffy pancakes. How to make fluffy pancakes? The secret to fluffy pancakes is letting the batter sit at least 15 minutes (I prefer...

This recipe for pumpkin biscotti is hands down the best one I’ve made yet.  And I’ve made a lot of biscotti over the years! There is a fine balance between being crispy enough, without being hard to bite, but also tender enough so it doesn’t crumble.  This recipe achieved both goals! What is biscotti? Biscotti originated in Italy, and mean “twice baked.”  They are crisp...

Every September it’s like Christmas to me because the seasonal granola is out from Safe + Fair!  These pumpkin crunch muffins are the best muffins I’ve ever made. Light, fluffy, tender crumb and the pumpkin crunch on top just seals the deal. In my heavier days, I lived on giant sized bakery muffins as my “pre-breakfast.”  You know, the breakfast you eat on the train...
