We bought some raw almonds from Costco a few months ago, and since they were in SUCH a huge bag, I froze half of them. We got so tired of eating the raw kind, so I decided to roast up some of the frozen ones we had with some spices, and they turned out delicious!
Fun story: I thought I was ordering a single container of old fashioned rolled oats from Amazon, so when a package of 6 containers showed up, I knew I’d have to start getting creative in the kitchen with some recipes! I’ve also been wanting to experiment with some homemade granola bar recipes for my girls to have quick and nutritious snacks at home, so I whipped these up with Emma and they ended up being so delicious! Here’s the recipe, hope you all enjoy!
This recipe turned out SO good my family already polished them off, including the babies! Hope y’all enjoy!
Since my daughter Emma got diagnosed with nut allergies almost a year ago, we have been very vigilant about avoiding nuts (except for almonds + peanuts which we have confirmed she is fine with)!
But while so many foods on the market claim they don’t contain nuts, they are sometimes processed on similar equipment and can have nut fragments or particles from cross-contamination. We definitely don’t want to take any risks when it comes to Emma’s allergies, so I decided to make homemade granola this past week and it turned out delicious! Here is the recipe!
I’ve been trying to find ways to add vegetables to every meal, because that’s my mantra. Add vegetables to each meal to gain the most nutrient benefit from everything you eat. When you nourish yourself this way, you have a steady and firm foundation or health, which gives you the flexibility for some freedom and indulgence.
As a pregnant mama of a toddler, I am also trying to find fast, portable snack options that are healthy for Emma & I. Enter: the veggie muffin. I loosely based this recipe off of one from Against All Grain & Dashing Dish, and I must say this version tastes the most like a traditional muffin, but still has amazing health benefits! Full of fiber, healthy fats, and even vitamin A, these muffins are the perfect snack, or even quick breakfast when you are on the go. Hope y’all enjoy!
Each muffin has 2g of fiber, almost 6g of protein and 25% of your daily needs of Vitamin A!
Let me know what y’all think and if you try them!
Hello, World!
This recipe...was SO good. I wanted to post it up soon because it would make a great side dish to your Thanksgiving feast! Biscuit dough has always been a favorite of mine growing up, and the savory additions to this muffin made it so tasty!
I would just like to preface that this isn’t the most nourishing food, BUT it is part of MY food freedom that I’ve been experiencing, and definitely made for a tasty treat! This blog has healthy, wholesome recipes, and treat recipes, and I’ve come to a place where having foods like this doesn’t bother me or send me over the edge anymore. We have to learn how to nourish ourselves well so that we can enjoy the treats as well and not be so stressed around foo! I am so thankful for the food freedom and nourishment that I’ve been experiencing in this journey, and know that I am here to guide you through it as well, just reach out and we can chat!
Anyways, onto zee recipe!
These were super easy to whip up, and turned out so savory and delicious! I made a big batch since my hubby took them to work with him, but you could definitely cut the recipe down if need be!
Then, open up the biscuits and cut into little cubes.
Place them in a large mixing bowl, then mix in the cheese, bacon, melted butter, and spices. Toss until the biscuits are evenly coated with all the yummy add-ins!
Then bake for 15-18 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
These were so gooey and delicious fresh out of the oven, but tasted great with breakfast this morning too!!
Hope y’all enjoy and Happy early Thanksgiving!
I don’t know about you, but apple desserts have always been my favorite. Apple pie, apple crisp, apple muffins, I love them all. Pumpkin pie has nothing on apple pie in my opinion!
With fall finally here and thanksgiving around the corner, I wanted to bake up a fall treat that would satisfy all of my apple dessert cravings! This apple crumb cake did NOT disappoint! And it was super easy to whip up! I baked it in a smaller Pyrex (because we are packing and that’s all I had) but I think if you doubled the recipe, it could fit into an 8x8 dish!
We let it cool for about 5 minutes before we dug in, with some vanilla ice cream of course! This dish was so simple and delicious; hope y’all enjoy it too!
I think I did it. I think I made the BEST pumpkin snickerdoodles this morning, and I just had to share the recipe with you all! These taste like fall + Christmas + all the warm fuzzy things. They were pretty easy to whip up this morning and came out so chewy and delicious. Here is the recipe!
These cookies were SO good, my hubby and I enjoyed them straight out of the oven as part of our breakfast...no guilt! I hope you all get to enjoy these cookies, let me know what you think!
Happy Friday, everyone! Have I got a recipe for you! I experimented this week and baked some delicious muffins at 5am because I was up and the brown bananas were just staring at me. I whipped these up in 10 minutes, did my workout while they baked, and viola, fresh baked muffins for breakfast!! We all have been enjoying them all week, especially smeared with some peanut butter! Hope y’all enjoy the recipe!
And since it’s the weekend, I highly recommend you make these muffins and enjoy them as well!! Happy Friday folks!
Muffins are such an easy and delicious item to meal prep for your week! Breakfast is always a rush in our home as my husband and I are getting ready to head to work and take Emma to day care. These muffins have been our saving grace this week so I thought I’d share the recipe!
Emma and I enjoyed these fresh out of the oven. Every time I gave her a piece, she’d give me the sweetest smile! I hope you enjoy these as much as we did!
