Skinny Strawberry Bread

May 18, 2019 Amanda Plott

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…

Chunky Monkey Amish Oatmeal

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.)…

Banana Nut Granola

Banana nut bread has to be one of my most favorite things in the world to eat for breakfast. I honestly don’t make it enough, and haven’t made it in a good long while. So, needless to say, I’ve been craving it lately. I thought this time around though, that I would put a little twist on it and turn it into a granola instead!

Cereal has been the name of the breakfast game in my house for a good solid week now. We’re busy eating up a few boxes that were used in that Camp Out Trail Mix last week. Waste not, want not. Right? As we got to the end of the boxes, I knew it was time to make this Banana Nut Granola…

Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake

Sundays are for brunching, and this Sunday is no different. With knowing tomorrow is Monday, and that today was going to be a lazy day for the most part, I decided to go ahead and make breakfast yesterday. Well, what does that mean? It means Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake, that’s what it means!

This Overnight Blueberry French Toast Bake is made ahead of time and sits overnight in the fridge where the big cubes of hearty bread cans oat up eggs, cream cheese, blueberries and the like. Then in the morning, it’s ready to be baked and enjoyed!…

Bowls are all the rage right now. Breakfast bowls. Lunch Bowls. Dinner bowls. Healthy bowls! Fortunately, this bowl can be either of those. One of the best parts about this bowl though is that it’s super easy to put together. This bowl starts with some cooked quinoa and is layered with greens, avocado, pesto, and of course - an egg!

Everything’s better with an egg on it, right?…

New Year resolutions can be tricky and difficult to stick to. It seems like it’s about this time when we all start to taper off and give in. If you’re anything like me, my New Year resolutions are always centered around food. Food is life, after all. Even being as I’m more of a health conscious person, I always, always, ALWAYS strive to do better and eat better. That’s where these Overnight Oats fit in.

As I said, one of my resolutions this year was to eat more simply. Food can get complicated and I want to take the time to slow down, reel it in, and enjoy food for what it is. Yep! I left my resolution pretty vague and open. That’s one of the tricks to sticking to these resolutions!…
