This is a quick and easy breakfast you make the night before in 5 minutes flat! Store in the fridge, and enjoy in the morning! I’ve been addicted to this for the past week, and love how filling it is.  I’ve also switched up the mashed banana for a few pieces of frozen mango.  You [...]

These cookies have all the makings of a healthy breakfast: fruit, whole grains and protein!  They aren’t meant to be as sweet as a dessert type cookie, but you do get a great natural sweetness from them, and the heartiness of the oats.

Call me crazy, but last night in bed, I was thinking about what I’d have for breakfast the next day.  I’ve really been liking the breakfast sandwiches as of late, as sometimes I need a switch from my scrambled eggs and oatmeal.  I knew I had some goat cheese in the fridge that needed to [...]

I’m always looking for different ways to eat my morning bowl of oatmeal.  So when a reader requested baked oatmeal put into muffins, I was all over it!  These are great to make ahead and grab on the go.  You can’t exactly eat a bowl of oatmeal in the car, so this is a perfect [...]

Don’t you hate when you get to the end of your Almond Butter (or Peanut Butter) jar and all that’s left is that hard paste that’s impossible to spread?  Even melting it down doesn’t make it soft and spreadable.  What do you do?  That’s easy!  Make Overnight Oats!  In this batch, I had about 2 [...]
