Overnight Oats

Overnight oats are a family breakfast favorite but lately I’ll do a big scoop with a little peanut butter, 1/2 banana, coconut, dash of cinnamon and mini dark chocolate chips for dessert. It’s the perfect healthy substitute for ice cream and can curb any sweet tooth! I normally dump a couple cups of oats, 1/2 C of chia seeds, almond milk, a big scoop of Greek yogurt and a dash of maple syrup but if you really like measurements (this is for one serving, but trust me you’ll want to make enough to share). Mix and refrigerate overnight- 1/3 C Old Fashioned Oats 1/3 C almond/coconut milk 1/3 C Plain Greek yogurt 2 TB Chia Seeds Small dash of vanilla Dash of Maple Syrup Dash of salt ETC. Add berries, peaches, or sliced almonds. Top with bananas and brown sugar and broil to caramelize. Top with granola or dried fruit. Swirl PB and Nutella and warm it emoji . Layer toppings and oatmeal in a mason jar and serve for a brunch. Let kids pick their own toppings and make…

Bacon Lettuce and Peach Sandwich

I’m all about easy no-cook cooking in the summer. Stack your favorite foods together and you can’t go wrong. And, this bacon! Wheat sourdough bread Arugula and Spinach Peach slices Candied Bacon (4th of July post and the best thing I’ve ever eaten) Blue Cheese Crumbles ETC. Use any bacon and throw it under the broiler with brown sugar and cayenne. Use tomatoes, avocado and turkey. Add balsamic glaze or use goat cheese.

Root Beer Float Popsicles

There are so many great things about Instagram and making new friends (in real life) is one of them! Thanks for the shout out @gparrish I’m amazed by your creativity, photography, and amazing Mama skills. What’s so great is that we all have different talents and get to share them with the people we love. Now, onto Root Beer Float Pops Fill your Popsicle mold 1/3 full of melted vanilla ice cream. Freeze for a couple of hours. After ice cream freezes, fill with Root Beer and top with one more scoop of ice cream. Freeze overnight! ETC. Use your favorite soda or juice and your favorite ice cream or sorbet. Mix and match! My favorite Popsicle mold is the Norpro Ice Pop Maker sold on Amazon

Turkey and Beet Hummus Wrap

Running around like crazy getting ready for a big wedding today and this wrap hits the spot! Whole Wheat Lavash Wrap Trader Joes Beet Hummus Turkey slices Carrot sticks Persian cucumbers Tomatoes Feta or Mozzarella cheese S&P ETC. Use whole wheat pita or tortilla. Lettuce wrap would be great too. Keep it vegetarian with no turkey and add sprouts. Make it a salad with no wrap and extra lettuce.

Add all ingredients (except slaw) to guacamole and serve with chips. Make extra shrimp or tuna and slaw and serve over brown rice for dinner the next night.

Blue Cheese Slider

This slider was served as an app last night and it blew me away. I love burgers stacked high but the simplicity of this burger can’t be beat. Use the highest quality of ingredients you can find since there are so few. Brioche bun, toasted (a brioche bun is a must) Ground hamburger Blue cheese crumbles Spicy pickle, sliced *Lemon Aioli S&P Bacon (optional), Red pepper flakes (optional) Toast bun and set aside. Combine aioli and let sit in fridge for 1-2 hours Combine blue cheese crumbles, red pepper flakes, and S&P into your ground meat, form small patties, and grill or Traeger. (Don’t overcook!) Spread aioli on bun and top with burger and bacon. Insert toothpick and spicy pickle on top. Lemon Aioli 3/4 cup mayonnaise 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 lemon, zested 1 lemon, juiced S&P ETC. Sliders are perfect because they’re small and you can indulge on one and add a huge green salad! A healthy alternative is no bun and ground Chicken or Turkey but don’t leave out the blue cheese or a little aioli. Use…
