Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Mathlete and I have been planning out some future vacations recently and decided that one way we can more easily save for the trips is by reducing how much we eat out. But, I love going out for brunch on the weekends and seriously missed the idea of the delicious brunch dishes that we normally get. Instead of giving in, I decided to bring brunch to the house and made a roasted vegetable galette instead.

You guys…it is Paleo Monday! For me that it is totally a thing as I reset after my free eating weekends and get back on track for my week of paleo eats. Today, I am sharing with you one of my current snack obsessions. This paleo avocado toast is so amazingly good that you are going to want to devour it even if you aren’t following the paleo guidelines for food. So, maybe we should just call this the best snack…ever.

You know what happens when you have 12+ adults and just as many kids over to your house on a Sunday evening? You sort of forget to confirm that everything for your Monday blog post is in order. So, that is why this lovely post is coming to you so much later than usual. We’ll call it the Super Bowl effect.

With Christmas morning always being crazy hectic, I like to have a few make ahead breakfast recipes that I love to be able to make in the days before. That way, we wake up to a breakfast that requires minimal work and, if needed, can just cook while we check out what Santa brought everyone. Of course, I use these make ahead breakfast recipes all throughout the year too.

I am going to share a secret with you. I am not an eggnog fan. For whatever reason, I never really fell in love with it. I think eggnog is just like that annoying/endearing relative that you see every Christmas. You either LOVE him/her and think they are the most endearing person. Or, you have zero love for him/her and they become super annoying.

One thing that blogging has brought me is an introduction to lots of other blogs and even actually meeting some of the faces behind those blogs. I got to meet Katie this past April and she is super sweet and so amazingly talented. I am so thrilled that she is here sharing her Poppyseed Lemonade Muffins with you all today.

Hi Just Us Four readers! I’m Katie from Made to be a Momma. Over at Made to be a Momma you will find everything from diy sewing tutorials, home decor, kids crafts and recipes. One of my favorite things to do is to cook and bake for my family. In my life my motto is “keep it simple.” I don’t have time every night to cook a full course meal or spend countless hours in the kitchen. One of go to “must-haves” to make dinner a bit more special is homemade rolls or muffins. I especially like making muffins because they don’t require any time to rise like some recipes for rolls do. I love all the variety of muffins there are- you can have sweet, spicy and even savory. They can compliment any meal.

Mathlete is a scone lover. Every time we go to the coffee shop or pick up pastries for breakfast, he always chooses scones. I had never really thought about making my own scones until I was chatting with a blog friend of mine about ways to use her awesome basil simple syrup. I decided right then that I was going to try my hand at making strawberry basil scones with a basil glaze.

How much time do you get for breakfast each morning? If we are talking most weekday mornings, I get somewhere between 2-3 minutes to make breakfast before I have to rush out of the door. That doesn’t leave me a ton of options and, if I am looking for nutritious and wholesome meals, the amount of options available is even less. It turns out that there is an option for a breakfast on the go in under 2 minutes that is not only delicious, but also includes quality ingredients like real cheeses and fresh eggs along with high quality sausage, ham and chicken.

All through the winter, I had oatmeal for breakfast almost every morning. It was just what I needed on a cold day after a long commute to work. Plus, the cafe in our building sold it so I didn’t actually do any work to get my breakfast. As you can imagine, that adds up fast though. Now that the weather is getting warmer, I have been looking for a replacement that I could easily make at home in the 5 spare minutes I have each morning. Carnation Breakfast Essentials offers a few delicious flavors and are the perfect smoothie starters so I decided give one a try in my citrus vanilla breakfast smoothie.

So, we’ve made it through Valentine’s Day and probably have a few extra pounds from the delicious dinner and yummy chocolates to show for it. Me, I’m recovering from a trip to Vegas where we ate and drank so much delicious but definitely unthealthy things 😉
So, it is time to get back on the healthier food wagon stat because bathing suit season will be here before you know it {shudder}. Breakfast is definitely one of the best places to start when working to make healthier choices. I’ve shared my busy morning breakfast and my favorite green smoothie recipe and, today, I’m sharing one of my other favorites: broccoli and cheese egg muffins.
