How many times now have I said that weekends are for baking? Many, many times! These Blackberry Oat Bars are little bites of oatmeal base with fresh blackberries peppered in for a little bit of tart among the sweetness of the bar. And I’ve got to say too, these are super easy to make.
The oatmeal base for these bars is made all in own bowl, and the blackberries are sandwiched in the middle to bake into perfect little bars that you can enjoy for breakfast, brunch, or even as a snack!…

Who said waffles have to be sweet all the time? Not me! Ever since I got my new waffle maker a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been a waffle making fiend. Waffles today were savory, but more on the end of breakfast or brunch than my cornbread waffles from last week.
These Savory Spinach & Cheese Waffles are exactly that. Standard protein waffle mix with spinach and cheese added in. They’re super tasty and go great with an instant pot poached egg and a drizzle of sriracha on top…

Sometimes you just need a good comforting breakfast. And this Biscuit & Gravy Pot Pie is about as ‘comfort food’ as you can get. With a homemade turkey sausage gravy and biscuit topping, you just can’t go wrong! It’s perfect as a weekend breakfast or brunch. But, it also makes for a pretty good breakfast through the week since it reheats pretty well.
It’s lightened up just a bit by using a turkey breakfast sausage and also unsweetened almond milk in place of other milks. Though, you can really use any sort of milk that tickles your fancy. I just like this almond milk because it gives me more bang for my buck calorie wise…

Do you like pop tarts? Do you like blueberries? Then you’ve got to try this Blueberry Poptart Stuffed Blended & Baked Oatmeal! Okay, so I know that’s a mouthful, but it’s important to get the point across that these oats are blended into basically an oat flour and then used to make a cakelike or muffinlike base. So even if you aren’t a fan of oatmeal usually, you may like this blended option!
It’s a super clever and simple way to get some oatmeal in your life without the usual oatmeal texture. To make these oats even better, I stuffed them with blueberry goodness and topped it all off with a drizzle of glaze and some rainbow sprinkles, because sprinkles are life…

It’s been a good long while since I had some eggs for breakfast and if I’m being very honest? I’ve never had a poached egg before in my life. I’ve had them just about every other way there is other than poached. So, this morning I decided to try my hand at it. However it’s summer and I’m lazy. Instant Pot to the rescue!
Oh, how many times the Instant Pot has saved me.
These eggs are cooked up in no time and require NO technical or cooking skills what-so-ever. That’s right. these poached eggs are cooked right in the pressure cooker and you can play around with the timing to get them exactly where you want them as far as yolks go…

Biscuits and gravy cups? That’s right! Biscuit dough cups that are filled with an easy to make homemade sausage gravy that makes it all perfectly grab-and-go friendly while also being great for the kiddos! While these Skinny Biscuits & Gravy Cups are cute and even impressive, they are actually really simple and easy to make with just a handful of ingredients.
Since there isn’t a whole lot you can do to lighten up this biscuit part (outside of making your own biscuit dough), I did just about everything I could to make the gravy better-for-you. I started the gravy off with a lean turkey breakfast sausage and then swapped in almond milk for regular milk. I also used a reduced fat cheddar in place of regular…
