These lemon bars were a request from my fabulous aunt when she was down visiting Austin recently. She had mentioned that she loves to bake and was asking for some suggestions on lighter treats that were easy to pull together when having dinner with friends or family...
Read MoreEverything Chicken Salad
It’s a wide world of crazy out there right now. Things are being shut down left and right and groceries are scarce at this point to say the least. Until things return to normal, I’m doing my part in staying around home and coming up with simple, easy to make recipes that can hopefully be made with just a few staple pantry ingredients that everyone should have on hand.
This Everything Chicken Salad is one such recipe! Chicken salad is pretty much a fail-safe bite that’s full of protein, easy to make, and fairly versatile as it can be used as a dip, spread, or stand-alone. Being as I always always have ‘everything seasoning’ on hand, I thought I could put the two together!…
Read MoreSkinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls
Welp. With my kids school being on extended Spring Break for at least another week, I thought I would spend some time baking. These Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls were pretty much at the top of the list to make because… It’s strawberry season and who can say no to a homemade cinnamon roll of any kind?
These Skinny Strawberry Cinnamon Rolls are scratch made with a lightly sweetened cake and a quick and easy strawberry filling. Over the top is a lightened up cream cheese drizzle that really takes these sweet bites of heaven to the next level…
Read MoreBAYF (Big as your Face) Breakfast Burrito
As it states, this is a BIG breakfast burrito. It’s as big as your face! So big in fact, you may just want to share it with someone! This breakfast burrito has all the traditional breakfast burrito favorites like: bacon, eggs, cheese, peppers, and of course even some avocado.
It’s not rolled up in the traditional tortilla though. No, this breakfast burrito is wrapped up in a more health conscious sheet of lavash bread. Less calories, great flavor, and it holds up really well to being used for a wrap!…
Read MoreRainbow Unicorn Swiss Roll
I realized that it had been a hot minute since I made any sort of unicorn inspired recipe, so… I had to fix that today. When I said I was going to keep things fun and bright during Spring Break here, I wasn’t kidding! This Rainbow Unicorn Swiss Roll is as delicious as it is pretty.
This is a vanilla based cake that’s colored in the best of ways and rolled up with a lightly sweetened cream cheese filling. It’s great as a sweet breakfast option, brunch, or even as dessert. Really there wouldn’t be any bad time of day to have rainbow amazingness in your life…
Read MoreBerry & Cream Cheese Danishes
While I’m not big on sweets anymore, if I’m going to have sweets, I want them in the morning usually. And what’s better as a sweet in the morning than a pastry? And at that… a danish? Mm… I have always had a love for danishes. Something about the mixture of soft flaky pastry dough, cream cheese, and fruit just seems like the perfect combination.
The problem with most danishes out there? Super high in calories and sugar! That’s why I decided to try my hand at making my own. And let me just tell you, these are so crazy simple to make, that they may just become a family staple!…
