  • Matcha Green Tea Breakfast Truffles

      Now my breakfast truffles come with a little caffeine jolt!   Perhaps now they’re even more ideal fuel for an early-morning workout!   

  • Doughy Morning Coffee Smoothie

    Juice & Smoothie Week Post #2!  Here’s the definition of a portable breakfast: your morning coffee and your morning oatmeal in one glass.  Drinkable.    Sounds weird, right?    Well, it doesn’t taste weird!  It tastes like a rich, doughy, blended coffee-flavored milkshake.  So good.

  • Oatmeal Cookie Pancakes w/ Cinnamon Maple Frosting

      Oooookay.  These pancakes taste like cookies.  Amazingly wonderful frosted cookies.   I got the idea for these while eating an oatmeal cookie whoopie pie with cinnamon buttercream filling from Sugar Plum Vegan in Sacramento.  Mmmmm. 

  • Cran-Apple Breakfast Truffles

    Can you tell I’m addicted to my breakfast truffles?  Have I mentioned that they’re the ultimate pre-workout fuel first thing in the morning?  And the perfect guiltless about-100-calories sweet treat when I need one.   My first breakfast truffle post, my chocolate cherry pie version, was the first batch I’d made.  But since then I…

  • 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!   

  • Simplest Chocolate Croissants

      I try really hard on this blog, and for all of my meals, to make food that tastes wonderful but is nutritious.  I never force myself to eat something I don’t like, except maybe if it’s really healthy.   Well, the flip side of this philosophy is that I don’t usually eat things that…

  • 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.  

  • Brown Sugar Crusted Grapefruit

    This is not a recipe at all, but just an easy wonderful secret to finding grapefruit irresistible — adding sugar, of course!  When I was growing up, this was the only way I would even touch a grapefruit.  My dad would take a half a grapefruit and pack brown sugar on top.  Then he’d broil…

  • 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…
