Protein Breakfast Bites

They say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and if you feel that you are in need of a healthier higher energy breakfast than you are currently getting then these small tasty bites may be just what you need. This is a protein rich food on the run recipe and a family favorite around my home.

It is a simple recipe that serves as a quick high protein breakfast or snack that can be popped into your mouth without stopping for a sit down meal. These quick bites are ideal for those busy on the run days.They won't leave you feeling like you've been left out of the equation and you won't find yourself doing a last minute greasy high calorie fast food fix.

Work, school, and even stay at home parents are finding life busier than ever so time saving meals can come in very handy. Between getting kids ready for school, feeding them, and making their lunches, us parents almost always seem to get left in the dust. Well these healthy little bite sized pieces of heaven will give you the energy you need without sacrificing any extra time, or feeling guilty for making a quick choice of a different kind such as going through a drive-thru window.

Not only will your body thank-you for the nutritious snack but your wallet will as well. They are very economical to create. Oh, did I mention there's absolutely no cooking or baking involved? As you will see even this recipe is short and sweet.

Quick and Easy No Cooking or Baking involved!
1 cup oatmeal
2/3 cup coconut
1/2 cup natural peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1 tbsp flax seed
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon

Mix all of the ingredients together and place in the fridge for approx 30 minutes. Once the ingredients have hardened you may roll them into balls or even make them into little bars (whatever shape you would prefer).

Leave them in a covered container in your fridge for a very quick, easy, and healthy on the go breakfast or snack. 

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Start it with an energy boost. With a family of six my home can be quite active in the mornings so finding something for everyone to pop into their tummies in the morning can get difficult. Fortunately these eat on the run protein rich bites are ideal. For the picky eaters I pop it into their hands and they are taken care of. 
Company? These are Delightful Fancy but Cook up Super Easy!

Lazy Cabbage Roll Casserole Recipe

Image
Just like grandma used to make - Well maybe not quite. Cabbage rolls were pretty much a standard meal when company visited my Grandmother's house. My grandma was an amazing cook and could always find the time to prepare the most scrumptious meals and desserts. Those days almost seem like a thing of the past but we can still have the same great flavour in our meals just like she prepared back then. She had a huge garden and was used to cooking for a large family so she knew the most economical meals to prepare when the need arose. Her being of Ukrainian heritage perhaps helped just a wee bit in her selection of this recipe as well. My recipe is similar in taste to hers but by cutting the preparation time I am able to make and fit these meals into my family's busy lives. My lazy girl cabbage roll casserole recipe is so quick to create yet is made without sacrificing any of the great flavour that we are used to. Let's face facts, you just cannot get that great homemade

Homemade Baby Food: Carrots, Sweet Potato, Peas

Image
Healthy eating habits begin early. We all want our babies to get the best possible nutrition without also ingesting all of those famous preservatives, additives, and colors that can be added into foods without us being any the wiser. Well knowing exactly what baby is ingesting is half the battle on that front. The good news is that you can go organic in the foods that your child eats. There are two ways to do this, you can purchase ready made organic baby food or make your own. When purchasing the organic baby food jars you can pay quite a hefty price per jar and for what reason? Can we truly trust everything in those jars to be just as healthy as they suggest it to be? Once they add in preservatives, salt, and sugar the healthy nature of that organic baby food flies right out the window. Shop the vegetable shelves at your grocery market instead. Buy organic vegetables and fruits and make your own baby foods so you can be 100% sure what gets put into your little one's tummy.

Homemade Pumpkin Pie Filling From Scratch

Image
This page contains my famous pumpkin pie filling recipe which today I will be turning into pumpkin tarts.  I have adapted it many times over the years to refine it ideally to suit my finicky taste buds and those who have tried it say my pies are fabulous. As a bonus I'll also share my seasoned pumpkin seeds recipe as well.  Although many people seem to think that a pumpkin's innards are simply too inconvenient to harvest into an edible food trust me when I say that just isn't true. From tarts, loafs, soups and even pumpkin spiced drinks, this fruit can be adapted to pretty much anything you put your mind to turning it into. This tasty fruit is in abundance in the autumn months and very reasonable in price. Almost everyone acquires one around Halloween. So enjoy your Jack-O-Lantern but please give pumpkin credit also as a fruit and enjoy its innards rather than tossing them away. What a waste of good food that truly is.
