Pesto egg a la baguette.

This is such an oldie but goodie recipe and I haven’t made it in about a year. My family loves it for dinner and then for breakfast the next morning. I added some leftover kale pistachio pesto (from last week) into the eggs – click here for that recipe and this was over the … Continue Reading »

Healthy Chocolate Flax Seed Banana Muffins.

I’ve been eyeing Daphne Oz’s first cookbook/lifestyle book and my husband surprised me with it last week. I’m halfway through it and have been enjoying it thoroughly – it isn’t your typical cookbook!

Lemon Blueberry Quinoa Bread with Chobani.

Today at the Farmer’s Market I picked up several lemons and packages of blueberries with the hope of whipping up a batch of bread this morning.

Zucchini Carrot Chobani Muffins.

These muffins are a take-off on another carrot recipe I make. I bought some zucchini and thought it would be good to sneak some extra veggies into my family’s snack this week. The muffins are super moist, protein-packed and heavenly. No added oils to weigh them or you down! A must try for a lunch … Continue Reading »

Carrot & Toasted Coconut Bread (or muffins).

My daughter has been devouring carrots lately and I thought I would make some bread for her to snack on or have for a quick breakfast option. This recipe has no added fat, which makes it even better but wait – I did add some non fat Chobani for extra protein for muscle recovery. … Continue Reading »
