Parfaits make for a great breakfast or dessert during the summer months. They're easy. They're tasty. And you have virtually endless possibilities with flavor options! Plus, they don't heat up your kitchen. ... Something which is often a deal breaker for me once we start getting into 100+ days.
Can you tell that I'm already dreading July and August? Ugh...
Read MoreI've made Baked Egg and Avocado Bowls before, which are amazing, but I am also a fan of stuffed peppers. So, I figured... why not use the same idea and stuff peppers as a healthy low cab breakfast option? Of course!
These peppers are super easy to toss together and taste great. I was a little surprised with how filling and satisfying these were. I'm generally a carbivore in the morning.
Yes. That's right. A carbivore.
You know, similar to a carnivore... but with carbs rather than meat.
Shameful, I know. But... at least I'm honest!...
Read MoreA few words that you don't normally see in a description together? Skinny, cheesy, and gravy. But, somehow I've managed to pull it off. This gravy is so full of vegetables and lean sausage that you can absolutely afford the cheese that's in there.
Seriously. This stuff is pretty addicting.
The first time that I made this recipe was last week to go along with my 3 Ingredient Biscuits as a test. I've never made a gravy before, much less one that was healthified or skinny at all. So, I was a bit skeptical that I what I had planned would turn out at all...
Read MoreYes, only 3 ingredients are needed to make these perfectly guilt free biscuits! I can honestly say that I've never made biscuits from scratch before, so I was a little nervous about trying this for the first time. I'm not really sure why I've never made them before. Perhaps I had it in my mind that they were supposed to be daily difficult and taxing. I've made plenty of other breads, rolls, cakes, etc... So why not biscuits?
These were super easy and I was entirely surprised and thrilled with how well they turned out! Especially considering that they only took 3 ingredients and about 10 minutes of preparing. That's it!...
Read MoreI have really been in the mood for peaches lately. Perhaps I'm more ready for summer than I thought. In the summer, peaches have to be one of my most favorite things in the world to eat.
I couldn't be more happy about the city of Fredericksburg being right down the road from me. A lot of the locals from there will sell their homegrown peaches on the side of the roads here when peach season is upon us. It's heaven...
Read MoreCh-ch-ch-chia!
Chia seeds are full of health benefits. These amazing little seeds slow digestion, help prevent spikes in blood sugar for diabetics, are full of fiber, omega-3, calcium, manganese, protein, and so much more. They also help you feel fuller faster.
I use chia seeds in many things. I put them in a Chia Fresca to drink almost every day, and even use them in one of my favorite salad dressings! I've been wanting to make a chia pudding for a long while now, but somehow the timing just never quite worked out right...
