Breakfast

Migas

January 18, 2010

For those of you who aren’t familiar, migas is a traditional spanish dish (that I have no clue how to prepare) as well as a Tex-mex breakfast dish consisting of scrambled eggs with corn tortilla strips mixed in.

New Years Breakfast- Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pancakes

January 1, 2010

Happy New Year everyone! This morning I woke up hungry and decided to whip up something hearty, but also celebratory-pancakes! I confess, I typically do not think of pancakes as being “stick to your ribs” type of food. Usually, they are too sweet, overly refined and spike the blood sugar with a hard crash shortly [...]

Creamy Pumpkin Oats

As Jennifer has told you, the weather in the DC area has certainly been out of the ordinary! While the snow is beautiful, I had lots of snow shoveling to do (2 hours worth)! So, I needed a breakfast that would help motivate me!

This weekend we enjoyed our first snow here in Arlington, VA. The view from our outside window was just magical, especially since I didn’t have to travel in it

December 4, 2009

I love all kinds of chewy grains and that is why I LOVE granola. I don’t typically like many brands, because it ends up being too tough or crunchy for my taste. But, I jumped at the chance when Metropolitan Bakery offered us a few samples of their granola to try.
If you [...]

Best Breakfast

November 9, 2009

As the weather turns colder and the early morning temperatures drop, I turn to warm, comforting foods for breakfast. Lately, my mornining meal of choice has consistently been oat bran. I love oat bran because it is creamy and satisfying and really really cheap to buy. Plus, it sticks to the ribs so I’m not [...]

Easy Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

October 5, 2009

Though I am ashamed to admit it, I really enjoy popping open a Pillsbury can and baking up some fresh, hot cinnamon rolls drenched in sugary icing (though I draw the line at prepackaged cinnamon rolls). I told you guys I’m not a baker. So, if I want a hot, sticky, sugary cinnamon bun, [...]

Spiced Banana Nut Muffins

September 23, 2009

Banana bread is one of my favorite things to bake. I love the creamy, rich flavor of the banana alongside the spicy sweet flavor of the bread! Since I had some extra bananas on hand, I decided to bake muffins this past weekend. I lightened up the calories by using applesauce and [...]

Quinoa- the new breakfast grain!

August 26, 2009

I made some quinoa the other night and I had some leftovers and, of course, I did not want to waste this terrific grain. I figured that it would be perfect for a breakfast cereal because it not only is high in protein but it is a complete protein which means it has all [...]

Oatmeal Blueberry Pancakes

August 22, 2009

It’s Saturday morning pancake time! You all know how I love a fun breakfast on weekends, so this weekend I decided to go with some classic blueberry pancakes. The only problem with pancakes is they aren’t filling and don’t stick with me for long before I’m hungry again. So, this time I decided to use [...]
