Strawberry & Cream Cheese Stuffed French Toast
I decided that yesterday’s lazy holiday breakfast in my new apartment/new kitchen had to be spectacular. I must say I waaaay achieved that! This French toast tastes and looks decadent, but it’s really just healthy whole grain bread, fresh beautiful fruit, and a little creaminess from tofu-based cream cheese. Breakfast treat done right!

Ginger-Lime Papineapple Agua Fresca
Reunited with my juicer at last! Oh juicer, how I have missed you. Such a welcoming beacon in a groggy dark morning. We must celebrate with something extra-special! So special I made up a word for it. Papineapple? Yeah. Ginger-Lime Papaya Pineapple Agua Fresca was an excessively long title (so I made it […]

Sweet ‘n’ Spicy Coconut Wrap
So sorry for the lack of posts lately! Since I’m crashing at my parents’ house post-breakup, I’m very out of my element when it comes to planning and cooking recipes for the blog. Usually, planning a menu, grocery trips, and cooking comes really easily to me. Turns out that’s a lot harder when I don’t […]

Hazelnut Cocoa Breakfast Truffles
Time for more breakfast truffles! I loved my first variety, and have been playing around with some new flavors. I am completely addicted to these breakfast truffles – they are the perfect thing to eat before a morning workout, and they’re downright delectable. Plus who doesn’t want sweets first thing in the morning? Hmmm […]
