Coconut and Apricot Granola

Anyone else feel like January has been the longest month ever?  I can't even pin point what has made it so long, but it just seems like it should be over already!  I am 100% ready for a new month and since it has taken me until the end of January to really get back into my healthy routine I guess you could say February is going to be my official start to the new year!  I love having healthy food items like granola prepped and ready to go in my pantry because it makes for such a yummy breakfast or snack!  My coconut and apricot granola is such a great combination of flavors and textures and is packed full of good stuff for your body to keep you fueled all day!

Easy and Delicious Everyday Green Smoothie

Monday comes at me hard every week no matter how prepared I think I am for it on Sundays!  I am always a little slow to get going on Monday, but once I adjust I do love the idea of a fresh start to any week.  No matter what you ate over the weekend, or how unorganized you were the week before, Monday is a new day and a new chance to do it better!  I love hitting the restart button on Mondays and that usually means I am craving my easy and delicious everyday green smoothie!

Mini Pizza Frittatas

Let me start this off by saying that yesterday it was 65 degrees and sunny...felt completely like a Spring day...today it's supposed to snow and I'm totally confused by it all!  This Texas winter has been the craziest yet!  But anyhow, I hope we actually see some snow today because Parks will love it and I will love an excuse to make some hot cocoa and cozy up in my PJ's and not leave the house!  The thing with snowy weather is that I always want comfort food, which usually comes in some form of a carb.  However, I have really been trying to stay conscious of eating a little bit lighter on the carbs during the week so any kind of recipe that gives me that comfort satisfaction while keeping me on track is a winner in my book!  My mini pizza frittatas are just the thing to satisfy my carby comfort food cravings without any guilt!

Healthy Peanut Butter and Jelly Oatmeal Muffins

Happy Friday friends!  I am so excited for the weekend and the fact that it is going to be cold again for a few days!  Houston never gets this much cold weather in the winter so I am loving being able to make all the cozy food and wear all of my sweaters that have been in boxes since we moved here!  When the weather shifts there few things I love more than baking in the kitchen.  There is something about a warm and delicious treat right out of the oven that is so comforting and perfect on a chilly day!  My healthy peanut butter and jelly oatmeal muffins are just the treat that you are going to want to make this weekend and every weekend from here on out!

Christmas Brunch Favorites

I honestly cannot believe that we are a week away from Christmas already!  This year went by so quickly guys, I literally cannot get over it.  We are heading to my parents house this week and I am so ready for a little vacation and downtime with my family!  My mom is one of those people who just makes Christmas so magical, which is why it has always been my favorite holiday.  So many memories of family traditions including delicious meals are still so strong in my mind!  I hope that I can make Christmas just as magical for Parks year after year so that he grows up with the same love for the holidays!  One of my most favorite meals during the Christmas season is brunch!  I love starting the day off with a yummy meal that, besides the obvious cheese board that will most definitely happen, will keep our tummies full until dinner rolls around!  I've rounded up my top Christmas brunch favorites so that you can host the ultimate brunch for your family and friends this year!

I don't know about you, but I am in full holiday mode over here.  Christmas music is on repeat and holiday touches are being added to the house and to all of my recipes!  I love this time of year so much that I literally can't handle my excitement for this season!  To me breakfast is the most important meal of the day all year long, but especially during the holidays!  Starting with my morning cup of joe, to the plate that is in front of me, I need all the fuel to get me through holiday shopping, decking the halls, and keeping up with normal life at the same time (hello mom life)!  My Easy Sugar Cookie French Toast is the perfect breakfast to make all season long and goes perfect with your favorite coffee of choice!
