PoppySeed Pancakes with Lemon Curd Last night in our cooking class we made poppy seed pancakes with lemon curd.  It changed Hannah’s life.  Love how Weight Watchers friendly these recipes are! She LOVES lemon curd and had no idea that you could make it in the microwave in two minutes.  Pretty sure she’ll be making this every week.   My friend Vic is the person I...

My Grammy used to make the best zucchini bread.  I ask my Aunt Martha for the recipe. Guess what?  The original recipe calls for two cups of sugar AND 3/4 cup vegetable oil.  No wonder it was so good! How do you lighten up zucchini bread? Two things lightened up this zucchini bread recipe.  First, I reduced the oil to 1/4 cup and secondly, I...

These banana bacon pancakes are next level.  They are slightly sweet and have a hint of saltiness from the bacon.  So good! Buttermilk pancakes are the best, but what happens if you don’t have any on hand? How do you make buttermilk if you don’t have any? You simply have to add a tablespoon of any type of vinegar to one cup of any type...

These buttermilk blueberry muffins taste like coffee cake and I am not mad about that! Per usual, by the end of the week my fridge is looking a bit bare.  My Mom brought me blueberries last week. Buttermilk was also in my fridge and shockingly not expired – whoop! Shout out to Twig & Lace for the cute coffee stir – she has TONS of...

You guys are going to love these Starbucks Copycat Sous Vide Bites! When my late husband was going in and out of the hospital, eating on the go was crucial. So many followers at the time sent me Starbuck’s gift cards to pick up coffee and/or food and at one point I think I had over $400 to spend.   The protein box was one of...

I woke up today with a taste for coffee cake.  And these blueberry coffee cake muffins taste just like it! The blueberries I bought last week were on the sour side.  By adding them to these sweet muffins, it was the perfect sweet/tart combo. Can you use anything other than regular sugar? Lately I’ve been steering away from artificial sweeteners.  If you’ve been following me...

These oat pancakes are what I like to call a basic pancake.   It’s simple because you can dress it up however you like – add poppy seeds and lemon, add blueberries – whatever you have on hand! What kind of oats can I use? You can use quick oats or regular oats.  Just don’t use steel cut oats.  I had a follower make them with...

I hope by now you know that you should at least double or triple your skinny pizza dough for the week if for no other reason to be able to make this breakfast pizza. It has a skinny sausage gravy for the base, crispy potatoes, eggs, cheese and “fried” potato skins on top – #swoon. Please meal prep potatoes for the week too.  They make...

For some reason I woke up this morning and had a taste for apple waffles.  Best idea evah! Now I have breakfast for the week already worked out – love meal prep Sunday. Making my plate sweet and savory was also the best idea.  I have the apple strawberry sauce in the recipe card below. Because I used oats for most of the flour, the...

These pancake protein balls are so delicious.  Full of flavor, not too sweet and just the right size ball to put in your mouth. I never really had a sweet tooth.  Well, unless you count my love affair with gummies.  That’s a whole other story. 😂 These balls were ready from beginning to end in literally ten minutes.  This would be a fun project with...
