The breakfast funk. We all find ourselves in one sometimes. Especially if you’re trying to eat low carb and sick of eggs. What else is there? My husband started making these crepe looking things that looked pretty good. I had a bite and surprisingly wanted more. (I call them pancakes because there really is no other name for them.) Before I knew it, I was making these high protein thingies. Besides being super tasty, they’re made with only 3 ingredients–egg...

When you see “smoked salmon and asparagus omelet,” many of you might have glazed over thinking it’s too gourmet to make quickly in the morning. Welp, that isn’t true. I wouldn’t do that to you! And I don’t have the patience or time to make something overly involved. Let’s prep ingredients. Once you’re cooking it goes really fast, so you need to have everything ready. You’ll need a small non-stick pan, rubber spatula, 2 beaten eggs with a teaspoon of...

We have smoothies all the time around here, but we rarely have smoothie bowls. Honestly, it’s just a thicker version of a smoothie dumped into a bowl. The fun part is you can add tons of toppings. So, instead of drinking your breakfast through a straw, you can add some crunchy stuff such as homemade granola or make it protein packed with hemp. With this blue protein smoothie bowl, you can start your day with loads of antioxidants and enough...

There’s a local smoothie place that makes a fantastic Honey Bear smoothie. I would swing by and grab one as a quick lunch sometimes. It. Is. So. Good. But! They moved across town. Darnit. I found a few recipes (apparently Honey Bear smoothies are a thing) and I came up with this one that I swear is better than the one I used to buy for however much. I told myself I wasn’t going to post another smoothie for a...

Growing up my parents always made scrambled eggs a bit on the slimy side. And you know what, that is the way to go if you ask me! I guess slimy isn’t the best word. Let’s call it medium rare. The perfect scrambled eggs. But, perfect is relative, I guess. Just like steak, people like their eggs a certain way. You don’t have to eat them “medium-rare”, so I’m not going to guide you that direction, but I will tell...

Those mornings where you feel like something sweet but not too sweet! I had one of those this morning. I made some blueberry chia jam and it was ridiculously easy and took about 5 minutes. For reals! I’ve kinda lost my taste for store bought jam, it’s so loaded with sugar and you can hardly taste the fruit. There’s something so good about homemade jam. We had a peach tree growing up that would decide to give us fruit every...

Follow Me! Every time I see a picture of sweet potato hash my mouth waters. So, this morning, after the family slept in super late, it felt like a brunch day. I found a couple of sweet potatoes, a purple onion, some eggs and yes! We have a meal. Now, for your delicious brunch… Turn your oven to 450 degrees. Dice your purple onion and 2 sweet potatoes. Keep the peel on the potatoes and dice to about 1/2 inch cubes. Toss...
