Remember those oatmeal quick packets with dried apples in them and that amazing apple flavor? Well this is where the inspiration for this Apple Butter Oatmeal came from. I might be biased but mine is better, you get more oatmeal, less sugar (the sweetness actually comes from apple butter here) […]

Golden Granola
0 commentsThis Golden granola recipe was inspired by Baklava, popular Middle Eastern dessert. I tried keeping true to the recipe that I have for Baklava, with the exception of sesame seeds, I just wasn’t sure would go well with oatmeal. I have to say this combo does not disappoint. It tastes […]
Black Bean Soup

Banana Protein Muffins
0 commentsI am always on the lookout for a good muffin recipe. Yes, we are bread people in my family. We love bread, rolls, muffins, cakes and pretty much any other kind of pastry or baked good. I do, however, try my best to make some of those recipes a bit […]
