It’s ‘fantasy’ week here in my house as part of our themed summer weeks. And to kick thoughts off, I thought I would start us off with some Rainbow Unicorn Poptarts! These poptarts aren’t your usually run-of-the-mill poptarts. I mean, obviously… look at them!
They sort of give a new meaning to ‘eat the rainbow’, don’t they?
Even though my kid isn’t the biggest fan (at all) of poptarts, I figured with some rainbow inspiration, maybe she would give them another chance, right? Right?!…

Like I said, I’ve been asked for more lunch/meal prep box ideas so I’ve been hard at work churning a few of them out. This Brunch Box is generally my go-to meal prep box. Let’s face it, for a lot of us out there, we’re far too busy in the morning to actually sit down and eat breakfast. For me, my ‘breakfast’ time generally rolls in more so somewhere around 10 in the morning. Which, is really more of brunch time than breakfast or lunch. That’s one of the reasons this is dubbed, the Brunch Box.
Another reason is that theres a mix of sweet and savory things in here that you might more traditionally find at brunch. Especially the egg and the fruit…

It’s STRAWBERRY season! Fresh strawberries are one of my favorites. But, then again, any fresh berry that’s in season will be welcomed with open arms. Even so, with all this big glorious berries around right now, I thought it was high time to put them to use!
This Skinny Strawberry Bread is absolutely LOADED with fresh strawberries to the point that you don’t need any sort of jam or icing on this bread. It’s perfect just the way it is. The bread here is just sweet enough, and with the bright freshness of those strawberries… I’m in heaven right now. THIS is how breakfast should be…

After banana nut on my mind, and a pantry full of leftover oatmeal, I pretty much knew immediately what I was going to be making this week for breakfast. Some sort of… banana nut oatmeal. But! Not just any banana nut oatmeal. I wanted it to be chunky monkey style. What’s chunky monkey? Well, one of my most favorite flavors of ice cream that’s made with bananas, chocolate chunks, and walnuts.
There you have it, chunky monkey oatmeal. Of course, one of my favorite ways to make oatmeal is for it to be baked and ‘Amish’ style. This breakfast oatmeal also happens to be gluten-free (so long as you mind your brand of oats.)…

Who doesn’t like a good BLT? Bacon makes just about everything better. Even breakfast! This Breakfast BLT Bowl is one of the quickest, easiest, and most delicious breakfasts that I’ve had in a while. Again, I’ve still got leftover eggs in my fridge (I’m down to just two now!) and I’m finding any excuse and way possible to use them up.
Being as I’m keeping things simple lately in the kitchen, and knowing how basic and easy a BLT is, I thought why not make a BLT into something for breakfast? And why stop there? Let’s turn it into a breakfast bowl at that!

My fridge, just like most fridges right now, is stocked full of hard boiled bright colored eggs. And no matter how prepared any of us are for it… we always always have leftovers that we just don’t know what to do with. Thankfully, I was hungry this morning and was forced to rummage through the kitchen to put together some sense of a breakfast/brunch/lunch bite for myself.
It’s the day before I go to the grocery store so my pantry and fridge are running on fumes right now. Pickings were slim, but! Somehow I managed. What do you need for this snack? Crackers. Avocado. Tomatoes. Hardboiled egg. That is all…
