Breakfast

Spinach and Goat Cheese Quiche With Mother’s Day being yesterday, I had every intention of making this spinach and goat cheese quiche for my Mom to take home to enjoy for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Sadly, her refrigerator died. She did enjoy a slice while she was here and the first thing she said after she finished eating was “I want that recipe!”   Ingredients...

Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls To say that I am in my sourdough era is an understatement.  Next up on my list of things to make were sourdough cinnamon rolls.  I’ve never had much luck in the past, but these turned out amazing! What sourdough starter do you use? The sourdough starter I use is from Clever Carrot.  You can find that here.  In all my recipes...

Matcha Chia Pudding This matcha chia pudding is hands down my favorite chia pudding I’ve made to date. The vanilla protein powder gives just enough sweetness, and with the fruit on top, it’s the right amount of sweetness for me. FlavCity Protein Smoothie I’ve tried so many protein powders over the years, but they all go through me so quickly, I may as well drink...

Pistachio Scones Recipe Scones are one of my favorite things to make.  These pistachio scones with mint chocolate drizzle are absolutely delicious.  No serious baking skills required! I adapted a recipe from Sweet Simple Masala.  Her recipe called for 5 tablespoons of butter, and a 1.25 cups of heavy cream.  Did you know that 1.25 cups of heavy cream is 57 points?  By substituting unsweetened...

These sourdough discard pancakes taste like cake to me – and I am here for it! Unleashing the Magic of Sourdough Starter Discard Embarking on the journey of creating your own sourdough starter is like cultivating a living, breathing kitchen companion. As you patiently nurture your starter to life, you’ll discover the joy of a tangy, bubbly concoction that’s not just reserved for baking bread....

These protein waffles are perfect for meal prep.  Simply make on the weekend and you’ve got breakfast all week! You can use any protein powder you like.  In this recipe, I used FlavCity Butter Coffee protein smoothie mix and it was delicious.  25 grams of protein per scoop! Side note: the best sugar free pancake syrup in all the land is Mrs. Butterworth’s.  Only 1...

These sourdough blueberry scones are light, airy, not overly sweet and the perfect breakfast or snack treat. There is sourdough starter in this recipe.  There are SO MANY sourdough starter recipes out there, and tips, tricks, etc.  My sourdough starter is all unbleached all-purpose flour.  Some starters add rye flour, whole wheat flour, but I went with straight all-purpose. That could be why it took...

Sourdough Discard Bagels These sourdough discard bagels are one of the tastiest things to ever come out of my kitchen. Hannah even said it’s the best bagel she’s ever had, and she used to work at Panera back in the day! How to make sourdough discard. My road to getting my sourdough starter to make bread has been a long one.  I started it on...

These jumbo blueberry lemon muffins are the bakery style muffins you crave, with less calories and WW points! Have you ever had Casey’s gas station blueberry muffins?  So delicious!  I found out after the fact that just one (and it wasn’t even that jumbo!) was 26 WW points and 600 calories. Below are two recipes, nearly identical.  However the baking time was different for each...

Have you ever had a slice of Panera’s cinnamon crumb cake?! So good! But a slice of that is 24 points, and basically a whole day of points for me. When I think back to the way I used to eat, it was no wonder why I got so big.  I would eat a big banana muffin on the train to work.  At around 10:30...
