Lemon Monkey Bread
The next time life gives you lemons, would you quit making the dang lemonade and instead make this Lemon Monkey Bread? You’ll be much happier, I promise. Thank you for your cooperation. The best way to describe the flavor of this oh-so-amazing monkey bread is that it tastes like a burst of sunshine in your mouth. It’s bright, citrusy and you can’t help but smile when you take a bite. For fans of lemon, citrus, sugar, or anything that is... Read More
Strawberry-Banana Breakfast Quinoa
I’m always looking for a healthy breakfast that's easy to cook and doesn't bore my taste buds. On top of that, I happen to be car-less for the month of June, so I need all the protein I can get in the morning for the long bike commute to work! This breakfast was exactly what I needed.  Quinoa is filled with protein, but it’s much healthier than eating a couple of eggs because you don’t get all that saturated fat and cholesterol. On...

Banana Bread Pancakes
What could be better than pancakes on a slow, sunny weekend morning? Banana bread pancakes, that’s what! OK, and maybe a cup of coffee, too. I don’t know why the mash-up of these two magical foods didn’t occur to me sooner. I mean, it’s like the Laurel and Hardy of breakfast. The Bert and Ernie. The Thelma and Louise. The Beavis and – nevermind. Let’s just say these two were meant to be together. Now kick off your shoes, tur... Read More

Almond-Apricot Coffee Cake
Gather ‘round, everyone. Let’s have a heart-to-heart, shall we? When the going gets tough for me, I eat a lot of chocolate. Specifically, brownies. Specifically, frozen brownies with peanut butter on top. Maybe with some ice cream on the side. When the going gets tough, I kick it out with a temper tantrum, or with some downward dog, or by riding my bike until my hair is glued to my sweaty face and I start giving myself pep talks to pedal...

Greek Yogurt and Berry-Stuffed Wheat Crepes
There are few things on this planet that are easier to make than crepes. I kid you not – just a handful of ingredients (that you are more than 50% likely to have on hand, unless you’re one of those people who stores shoes in their oven) whisked together, some oil, a pan and 20 minutes and BAM! Crepe magic in your kitchen. I tend to make this Greek Yogurt and Berry-Stuffed Wheat Crepes recipe toward the end of the week, when our grocery li... Read More
Huevos Ranchicken
If you’ve ever been to a Tex-Mex place for breakfast, you’re probably familiar with huevos rancheros. It’s a traditional Mexican breakfast with beans, cheese, tortillas and eggs. It’s really hard to beat a good huevos rancheros breakfast, but I think I may have done it! Let me introduce you to the Huevos Ranchicken, which is very similar to the traditional recipe except wrapped in a burrito and topped with a delicious guacamole sauce.... Read More
Frosted Crunch French Toast
One of my favorite breakfasts in the world is French toast. One of my least favorite breakfasts in the world is soggy, thin French toast. Even if I use thick, crusty bread, I sometimes want more texture to my French toast and luckily there’s an easy way to add in some crunch. My Frosted Crunch French toast is basically a standard French toast that’s been dredged and covered in smashed Frosted Toast Crunch cereal. It has plenty of crunc... Read More
Breakfast Bowl for One
I, for one, could eat breakfast 15 times a day. At least. It's the ultimate chance to combine my favorite textures and flavors into one heckuva power blast for my mouth. One of my most favoritest breakfasts evar in the world and universe is this super simple breakfast bowl for one. It features sweet potato (holla!) hash browns seasoned with ground cumin and chili powder, wilted spinach (I'm on the verge of creating an edible wig out of this s... Read More
Breakfast Hot Dogs
When is it completely acceptable to have a hot dog for breakfast? I’ll tell you when. Any time you plan on doing nothing but drinking beer and/or watching sports all day long. In other words, when tailgating. We are deep in the heart of March Madness right now, generally seen as one of the best times of the year for sports lovers. It’s important that you eat a hearty breakfast to soak up some of those beers and also give you lots of energ... Read More
