I like toast for breakfast – all kinds of toast. I’ve shared avocado toast ideas, roasted beets & feta toast, and even apple yogurt toast with dates. Today I’m sharing a very easy breakfast or snack idea that is really tasty and nutritious, apple peanut butter toast. It will please both children and adults with its taste and crunch. It’s also a great after school snack when the kids get home.
Many of us love French toast which is browned and crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. It is not dry and it is not soggy. It has a rich, custard flavor (without being too eggy). French toast was developed as a way to eat day old French bread – dry right? Soak, brown in pan with butter, and then bake in oven to make crispy and puffy. The type of bread will determine how many slices you have and how long it is baked. Small French bread slices require less time and more slices to satisfy the hunger. Brioche is a French bread with a high egg and butter content. It is perfect for French toast as it is nice and thick, and soaks in the perfect amount of egg. You can actually taste the richness of the bread when you bite into it. If you can’t find brioche, buy a challah (another egg bread).

I love a good muffin for breakfast. Today’s recipe is a tasty, healthy muffin made with a baked sweet potato, whole oats, and whole wheat flour. Add a little honey and a mix of spices for a delightful taste. If you have a left over baked sweet potato, this is a great way to use your leftover and make an easy breakfast or snack. I like the topping which adds a little crunch of flavor.
I love a good muffin that doesn’t have too much fat. I also love banana bread with its moist, rich texture and taste. Today I’m sharing muffins made with ripe bananas and a sprinkle of walnuts. If you can’t eat walnuts, like my sister, add pecans. They’re always delicious. One of the things I love about muffins is they are great for breakfast, as a snack, or even as a dessert with less fat and sugar than cupcakes. You can’t go wrong. Read More

Today’s recipe is a combination of tasty yet healthy ingredients for a great way to start the day. The most time is cooking the quinoa. I suggest you put it on in a rice cooker and go get dressed. It’s a good way to change up the carbs in your breakfast while still having a pleasing taste and texture. I used red quinoa but regular quinoa could also be used. Read More

I love spinach. Spinach is one of the healthiest vegetables you can eat. It is a super food loaded with tons of nutrients in a low-calorie package. Dark leafy greens like spinach are important for skin and hair, bone health, and provide protein, iron, vitamins and minerals. Just do a search for the word spinach and you will see pages of articles on the health benefits of spinach. Just eating one serving of spinach a day can make your brain 11 years younger. A diet rich in leafy green vegetables help prevent cognitive decline according to recent research. It slows the aging process. Read More
