Guests for Breakfast

We have some new renters!!!


Is this a sign that Spring is finally around the corner? Lets hope so!  The birds were chirping away as I was making breakfast this morning!
Speaking of breakfast, today was one of those days where I just didn’t feel like having oatmeal.
Do you ever feel like that? You eat almost the same thing everyday and one day ya just not in the mood, happens to me a lot lately. I’m just going to blame on the long winter.
So instead of oatmeal I made some stuffed french toast. It may not have been as nutritious but it was delicious and hit the spot for a cold winter’s day.
Banana Stuffed French Toast

• 2 eggs
  
• splash of milk
  
• dash of cinnamon
  
• 6 slices of whole wheat bread
  
• 1-2 ripe bananas
  
• peanut butter
  
• nutella
  
• pure maple syrup (optional)
  
• powdered sugar (optional)

Whisk the eggs with a splash of milk and a dash of cinnamon until light and fluffy, set aside. Spread peanut butter on one slice of bread and nutella on the other slice of bread. Thinly slice up the banana and place on top of the nutella then add the peanut butter slice on top to form a sandwich. Dip sandwich into the egg mixture and cook on a non stick skillet until cooked through and  lightly browned. Top with maple syrup and powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy!

I think every morning should start off with some sort of chocolate and peanut butter, they are a perfect pair!

Super Bowl Bites

I have to admit  I am not a huge football fan. Unless the Patriots are in the Super Bowl I rarely sit down to watch the game…I’m more into the snacking aspect of the whole hoopla of the day, although I do look forward to the commercials! lol

Today I just wanted to share a quick, healthy and super delicious snack for game day! As I mentioned here I have been on a ground turkey breast kick lately, it’s super healthy and so versatile.

Turkey Taco Bites

• 1lb. ground turkey breast
• taco seasoning
• diced tomatoes
• diced cucumber
• shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese
• Tostitos scoops

Brown the turkey breast in a skillet, once cooked through add the taco seasoning. Scoop turkey into the scoops and top with tomatoes, cucumbers and cheese. Another option would be to use salsa in place of the tomatoes n’ cucumbers. Place scoops on a microwave safe plate and put in the microwave for 50 seconds or just until cheese is melted. Enjoy!

Super simple and so much easier than trying to tackle a taco shell! The variations are endless with these scoops, you can add beans, avocado, sour cream, etc.
