Weekends are for sleeping in, having fun, and experiments in the kitchen. While my mom has been here visiting me, we've been having a lot of fun taking turns with playing around in the kitchen for breakfast in the mornings. And today was no different. We've discussed 'eggs in clouds' a few times before, but today was the day!
It's a pretty simple little breakfast that looks far more impressive than it really is with its handful of basic and minimal ingredients...

I’ve made blended oats in the past and they always turn out really well. Honestly, I’m not sure why I don’t make them more often than I do because they’re so simple, healthy, and easy to make. These Pineapple Upside-Down Blended & Baked Oats basically merge blended oats with a pineapple upside down cake. So you get to have your cake and eat it too.
This breakfast treat starts out with brown sugar, pineapple, and a cherry on the bottom, then you layer on the pineapple infused blended on, and another layer of brown sugar, pineapple, and cherry. Then you bake it all together and come out with this tasty breakfast that’s sure to impress!…

I didn’t think it could be done, but yes - cookies can be made with a mere two ingredients. These 2 Ingredient Cookies are super east to make, because it’s just two ingredients, and they’re great as a snack, or even for part of a breakfast or lunch. So what are the two ingredients? Oats and banana. The oats do need to be quick oats and the banana has to be overly ripe. Other than that? There’s nothing more to them!
There aren’t any tricks to these cookies. They do end up being vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free, low fat, and bunch of other things that make them into not only one easy cookie, but a healthy one too. I’ve been enjoying mine as part of my lunch with apple slices, peanut butter, and some other snacks treats…

I don’t know about you, but I grew up eating pop tarts. One of my favorite flavors has always been wild berry. So when I decided to turn them into cookie bars, I knew I was going to have to do them in a bright and colorful wild berry version. I started these bars off with a sugar cookie style dough, and being as it’s a take on pop tarts, I wanted to make them a sandwich style of cookie bar.
So the mixed berry jam is sandwiched in between two layers of sugar cookie like dough and then all topped off with a bright and colorful frosting that’s made to look like the original variation of the wild berry pop tarts…

Several years back I whipped up this wonderful breakfast casserole for myself for Mother’s Day. It’s so easy almost anyone could make it for the wonderful mother in their life. This breakfast (or brunch) casserole is full of the homestyle flavors of biscuits and gravy, but lightened up to give mom a guilt free meal!
Since this is an older recipe, I decided to revisit it, and wouldn’t you know it? Not far off from Mother’s Day again. It’s a happy coincidence!…

And here we have a Breakfast Crunch Wrap. It’s a crunch wrap like you know and love, but with a breakfast twist. That’s right, this crunch wrap is filled up with all the breakfast favorites like bacons eggs, and cheese - oh my! I also added in some fresh pico and of course some pickled jalapeños for an extra kick.
To keep this Breakfast Crunch Wrap nice and light, I went with a low carb tortilla and low sodium center cut bacon, because no one will ever be able to tell the difference. I also swapped in an egg white and chose a reduced fat cheddar. In the end you get this tasty Breakfast Crunch Wrap that you can share - or not…
