The smell of freshly grated lemon zest – is there really anything better? Well, maybe the smell of fresh out of the oven muffins might just top that. And to make it even better, how about just the top? I bet most of you out there could attest to eating the bottom of the muffin…

How to: Weekend Breakfast – Coconut Pancakes
Rise and shine! The sun is peaking through the shutters really early these days and I am loving it. Unlike pitch black winter mornings, the early light makes me feel like I’m supposed to be getting out of bed. It also means my weekend sleep-ins are a little on the early side. When we don’t have plans,…
Quinoa Granola
I’m normally a traditionalist when it comes to granola. Give me some oats, nuts, dried fruit, and maybe a handful or two of coconut, and I’m sold.

How To: Grab and Go Breakfast – Breakfast Cookies
Cookies for breakfast? Yes…that is correct. Holiday baking time need not be limited to oh so sweet gingersnaps and sinckernoodles. Not that I would pass those up, if you’re offering. But, these not too sweet and very moist cookies actually make the perfect on-the-go breakfast. Just like our muffin recipe, these banana, peanut butter, and oat cookies…

We owe you an apology…we left you hanging last week and did not give you our usual Thursday post. But then again, you are probably all just finishing up those lasagna rolls so maybe the timing is just right! Forgive us? Good! Do you want to know what I did on the weekend? Each and…
