  • 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…

  • Apple Pie Oatmeal

    Here is a really fun way to spice up your morning oatmeal!  Add apple pie spices and sauteed apples onto cinnamon-filled oatmeal.  Yum!    This apple pie topping is adapted from a Cooking Light recipe for a topping to French toast, which I started putting on everything.  On top of oatmeal is a huge success.  

  • Coffee-Glazed Baked Doughnuts

      I just got what must be one of the best hand-me-downs ever: my dad’s old school baked doughnut maker! Meet Dazey:     Have you seen those little doughnut makers (and pie, cake pop, cupcake, whoopie pie, etc. makers) popping up all over the place?  Well that is certainly not a new invention! Dazey…

  • Chocolate Cherry Pie Breakfast Truffles

    That’s right – I said truffles for breakfast!  I am on such a high from an amazing workout this morning, and these truffles are partly responsible (I’d like to take some of the credit myself.)   I’m the kind of person who has to work out in the morning, or I just won’t do it…

  • Maple & Cherry Granola

    Yaaay, granola!  This is more of a how-to post than a recipe.  Granola is surprisingly easy and totally customizable! Plus, store-bought granola can be deceptively unhealthy – full of fat from oils and loads of sugar.  Mine is deceptively healthy – all the fat from this is from nuts, chia seeds, and coconut.  And the…

  • Blueberry & Strawberry Cornmeal Pancakes

      A few days ago while I was looking around other food blogs, I saw a couple references to a very weird holiday – National Peanut Butter Day!  Apparently Tuesday was it!  I was very intrigued, and had to look up more weird food holidays, and found this gigantic list of them.  Now I don’t…

  • Tofu Scramble Nests

      I’m making tofu scramble nests today as a kind of veganization of an awesome old breakfast favorite! One of my favorite weekend morning breakfasts pre-vegan days were these delicious baked eggs in baskets by Sunny Anderson.  Her recipe creates adorable “baskets” out of shredded potatoes, which she bakes an egg in, and then tops…

  • Lemon Lavender Muffins

        If you’ve never had the combination of lemon and lavender, you must try it!
