As far as breakfasts go, I’m a pretty simple creature. I like simple things. And if I can make it ahead of time? Bonus points! This Pumpkin Spice French Toast Bake covers both bases with just a handful of ingredients needed and a few minutes of hands on time.
This French Toast Bake is basically a french toast that’s been turned into a casserole and had all the fun flavors of Fall tossed into it. Pumpkin and pumpkin spice and everything nice!…

I’ve pretty much been in smoothie mode recently which is pretty strange since I wasn’t a big fan of them in years past. I always tended to rather eat my food as opposed to drink it. But, with it being 90+ degrees here still in Austin… I figured the best way to get my pumpkin in the start of this Fall would be in the form of a smoothie.
This Pumpkin Pie Smoothie is SO. Damn. Good. There’s just enough spice and pumpkin in there to really get the feel and taste of pumpkin pie. And for well under 300 calories for a full on breakfast? I’ll take it!…

I LOVE banana splits. But, I’ll be the first to tell you that I haven’t had an actual one in yeeeears. In fact, I think the last time I had one was when I worked in an ice cream parlor. Yep! I worked in an ice cream shop when I was fresh out of college and before I got my real adult job as a graphic designer. It’s probably a good thing too. I got all my ice cream eating out of my system at a young age when I could afford the calories.
This banana split is a nod to the classic. But, it won’t leave you feeling guilty. Actually, this banana split is SO deliciously guilt-free that you can even indulge in it for breakfast. That’s what I did. I had this bad boy for breakfast and I couldn’t be more okay with it…

It’s a short, sweet, and simple one today!
This Black & Blueberry Smoothie is quick and so SO easy to make with just a handful of simple ingredients and a quick whirl around in the blender. This has been one of my go-to breakfasts for about two weeks now. And let me just say, that I’ve never been one to be that big into smoothies before. I’ve always preferred to eat my meals as opposed to drinking them.
But when it comes to this smoothie? I am totally fine with drinking it. In fact, it’s probably one of my all time favorite things for breakfast right now. It fills me up and gives me plenty of energy to get through the day…

So, I’ve had and made my fair share of egg bites in the instant pot, right? That got me to thinking… If I can make egg bites in the instant pot, why can’t I make a quiche in it? Well, as it turns out, you surely can! This quiche is packed with protein and is low in carbs. Plus, it’s keto-friendly and delicious!
This quiche cooks a bit more quickly in the instant pot than it would in the oven. It also comes out with a more ‘fluffy’ texture. Something more akin to an egg bite than a dense quiche…

Weekends are for baking and cooking… well, sort of. Except for the fact that I’m pretty much still refusing to use my stove or oven unless I absolutely have to. It’s just too damn hot here right now! That being said, I was in the mood for some blueberry pancakes this morning.
What’s a girl to do?
Instant pot (or any electric pressure cooker) to the rescue! These Blueberry Pancake Bites are whipped up quickly and cook right in the instant pot in all of 10 minutes. The end result is a magical cross between a pancake and a muffin that is as delicious as it is portable…
