Aloha Granola- Your favorite granola (store bought is fine) Unsweetened coconut flakes Sunflower seeds Sesame Seeds Macadamia Nuts, chopped Tropical dried fruit, chopped (Dried pineapple, mango, or papaya) Dash of honey. Aloha!

Steel Cut Oats with Vanilla Mascarpone and Berries

Happy Sunday! We took the time to make traditional steel cut oats and it was delicious. Lazy Sunday mornings are the best! Follow package directions for making oats but use almond milk instead of milk or water. Add a dash of maple syrup Dash of salt Dash of butter if you’re really going crazy Top with fresh fruit and Madagascar Vanilla Mascarpone cheese (and one more dash of salt)! Have a wonderful day!

Caprese salad with Lemon Spinach and Avocado

Farmers Market Spoils Heirloom tomatoes Mozzarella Lemon Spinach Avocado Balsamic EVOO Sriracha salt Ground Pepper ETC. If you haven’t tried lemon spinach (farmers market) or Sriracha sea salt (Harmons) you’re in for a treat!

Banana Nut French Toast

My latest obsession is all things French toast. Buy your favorite loaf cake (think banana nut, carrot cake..) dip in French toast mixture (eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla) and put on a griddle. You may have to finish it off in the oven depending on how thick you cut the slices, I like them thick. For cream cheese syrup mix- pure maple syrup and warmed cream cheese.

Steel Cut Oatmeal

A delicious and quick Steel cut oats (that your kids will love too): Mix unsweetened vanilla almond milk with your favorite steel cut oats in the microwave or stovetop (@courtneyzwick turned me onto Country Choice Organic which is now my favorite -it’s what they use at Jamba Juice) Mix in more almond milk to get desired consistency A dash of kosher salt Maple syrup And a little bit of butter Top with TJ pumpkin spiced pumpkin seeds

Layer with: Fig jam Grated sharp cheddar cheese Carmelized Onions Very thinly sliced Granny Smith apple Cook on hot griddle and serve.
