Carrot Cake Granola

March 3, 2018 Amanda Plott
carrot-cake-granonla8.jpg

Spring is coming.

I don't know about you, but I can see the changes in the season here in Austin Texas already. It's staying daylight out longer and longer in the evenings now and the sky is a brighter shade of blue. The birds are chirping, the grass is turning green, and it's warming up to a perfect 70 degrees on most days.

I know that we will likely have a few more 'winter' days or grey rain, but it's always nice to see the onset of Spring. It's probably my favorite season (when it comes to the weather especially.) That's why I've started this weekend off right with this Spring inspired carrot cake granola!...

Mornings. Am I right? Even though I consider myself a morning person, they are still taxing on everyone. Even me. As I was sipping on my coffee this morning while waiting for my daughter to finish getting her shoes, she asked me if I was going to eat breakfast. She couldn't understand why I hadn't eaten already and how I wasn't hungry.

Such is the way of a mom. Of course, I was hungry! But there's just no time until after I get her off to school. Once the mad dash getting her off to class is over, that's when I get to finally eat. And even then, I'll escape breakfast some days. That's why I make myself meal prep breakfast. If it's already 'ready' then I have no excuses to skip out on the most important meal of the day. This is the start of something great...

Winter Citrus & Honey Power Breakfast

January 21, 2018 Amanda Plott

I guess you could say that this is one bee-utiful breakfast. Ba-dum-psshh! Okay. Seriously though? Let's talk about this power breakfast right here. It's winter right now and there's a plethora of fresh winter citrus going around. Right now is one of the few times of year that you'll find blood oranges out and about.

Don't be scared either. They're called blood oranges because of their usual deep red splotched on their peel and their rich ruby red color of fruit inside. If you've seen or had blood orange juice before, you know what I mean. Along with blood oranges, the grapefruits are HUGE right now too. Just the way I like 'em. Big and juicy...

Vanilla Blueberry Coconut Nut & Seed Granola

January 6, 2018 Amanda Plott

So since even just before New Year's, I've been trying to eat a whole lot more nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables. With my last 'Nut & Seed' grain-free granola getting eaten up readily, I decided that it was time to make a new version of it.

One thing that I didn't get to use last time in my granola, that I really wanted to be sure about using this time is coconut chips. While I'm not a coconut fan by any means, coconut chips are definitely one of my favorite additions to salad and/or granola. Without wanting to go too tropical with the coconut, I decided on vanilla and blueberries!...

Grain-Free Nut & Seed Granola

December 9, 2017 Amanda Plott
nut-seed-granola2.jpg

It's no secret that I make the same loose resolution every year. To eat better. That's right, even I strive to eat better. That doesn't mean to lose weight or pick up some junky fad diet. No, no. That means... eat better. Eat more of what my body wants and needs and less of the stuff that I think I want.

This year my mom is hanging out with me for an extended visit and we've decided to cut down on carbs and to try and eat more wholly. It's not really been any sort of diet, but more so just a long-term way of changing eating habits instead. Breakfast has to be my most favorite meal of the day. So...

Cocoa Banana Cherry Power Bowl

September 13, 2017 Amanda Plott

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Sejoyia, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #CocoRoonsAtWalmart  http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV

I don't know about you, but I'm still settling into the school day routine all over again. It's hit me hard this year. I guess because my little girl was eagerly sleeping in pretty decently in the summer and now all the sudden it's a 6 am wakeup call to drag her out of bed. She isn't like me. She isn't a morning person.

It's easy (even for me) in the midst of chaotic mornings to not eat as well as I should, or even *GASP* eat nothing at all. Recently I got my hands on these Sejoyia Coco-Roons and I gotta say, they are perfectly portable, popable, mom-friendly, guilt-free snacks. But, I decided to take them a step further from snacking today to include them in this Cocoa Banana Cherry Power Bowl!...
