Weekends & Breakfast

I love weekends because I usually don’t have to set my alarm clock! I love weekends because I get to drink coffee out of my favorite mug! I also love weekends because I get to lounge around for at least an hour in my sweats with said coffee mug! But, most of all, I I love weekends because I get to actually make breakfasts! No grabbing something on the go on the way to work on weekends!

Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal – A Healthy Breakfast!

Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal – A Healthy Breakfast!

Since starting on the #21DayFix a little over 21 days ago (read my thoughts about it HERE), I’m making a valiant effort to refine the way I eat all together (not just when I’m on the “Fix”). One of the meals that is hardest for me to eat “whole” or “clean” is breakfast!  So, the other day when I found this baked oatmeal recipe by SkinnyTaste, I was ecstatic to give it a try and after consulting with Coach Shannon, I got confirmation that this was an acceptable food and I set off to bake it.  Despite being delightfully yummy and filling on a cold day, it got my wheels turning to other combinations that I could try! (Stay tuned because there WILL be more coming).

Strawberry Stuffed French Toast with a Twist

I can eat breakfast for every meal and this Strawberry Stuffed French Toast is no different!  Its sweet, savory, and absolutely delicious!

The Recipe

A couple weeks ago on the weekend, I was hungry for something other than our regular weekend breakfast of pancakes. I had some fresh strawberries and I can’t resist a good stuffed french toast, but had one main problem: no cream cheese! Which, I honestly was okay with because I wasn’t interested in consuming all those calories of the creamy goodness, but…the thought of stuffed french toast made me incredibly hungry! So, as I stood at my fridge the wheels began to turn. I pulled out a few ingredients and here is what I ended up with.

Apple Cinnamon Stuffed French Toast

I love breakfast foods! I love experimenting with breakfast foods. I love french toast. I love stuffed french toast! I know, that’s a lot of love, right? This past weekend I was feeling adventurous and wanted to try something new. I also had 4oz of cream cheese that needed to be used beucase the other half had been used in Easy Beef Enchiladas earlier in the week!  In my typical fashion, I don’t plan ahead, so I have to make due with what I have in the house!  Saturday morning was no different!  I wanted to use up the cream cheese and I desperately wanted stuffed french toast, but had no real “fresh fruit” in the house as I hadn’t gone grocery shopping yet.  The only fruit I had in the house was apples, so the wheels started turning.

#TastyTuesday – Brown Sugar Oatmeal Coffee Cake

Recently on a Sunday I got up and wanted something warm and sweet. It was too late to get cinnamon rolls going, so I decided to throw together a coffee cake. I started by making a base and added a brown sugar oatmeal topping! It turned out great and even T told my mom with a tone of suprise “It was actually good” as though I feed him bad food on a regular basis! Gee thanks dear! (He later clarified that he was suprised because he never though to use oatmeal in a coffee cake).
