10 gorgeous breakfasts that take just 15 minutes to cook

Our usual morning rush means that we can only dream about having the time to make and eat a delicious and nicely served breakfast — it simply takes too much time to cook. No doubt all of us prefer an extra hour of sleep to breakfast. 1. Banana and blueberry pancakes INGREDIENTS 1 cup of wheat flour 1 glass of milk 1 egg 1 teaspoon of baking powder 1 tablespoon of butter 1 tablespoon of sugar Salt Berries and fruit for garnishing Honey or syrup PREPARATION 1.

Garnish the pancakes with the berries and fruit and pour the honey over them. 2. Frittata wi...

TROPICAL FROZEN YOGURT BARS RECIPE

Most posts contain affiliate links. These are provided for your convenience, and the price isn't increased at all. With Summer right around the corner, it is time to start thinking about some easy recipes that we can make to cool off on those hot sunny days. One of my favorite recipes to use to cool off with are these tropical frozen yogurt bars. They are so simple to make, and they are better for you than most of the ice cream bars and other frozen treats that you will normally find at the store. I found everything that I needed for them at my local Sprouts where they are always having great deals on better for you products. Growing up in Mexico, I was always used to eating fresh mango, pineapple, and more. As a result, most of the homemade desserts were made with fresh fruit. I always loved going to the local stores to get creamy ice cream bars filled with different types of fruits that I could enjoy with my friends and family. Since coming to the United States...

PEANUT BUTTER OATMEAL COOKIE SMOOTHIES

Finally, a smoothie I can embrace.  Although I make smoothies all the time, I never drank one until now.  Much to my dismay, I do not love fruit.  Why oh why do all smoothies have fruit?  I do tolerate a certain amount for my health, but it is not my favorite.  (BTW, this has been very helpful in growing adventurous eaters.  If they see you continuing to try a food you are not crazy about, they will be encouraged to do the same.) But now that I’ve found a new way to enjoy a smoothie without fruit, I am excited by the possibilities.  I am on a mission for “fruitless” smoothies, or maybe just ones so tasty I don’t notice a bit of fruit. Check out that straw!  Do your kids love to drink from a straw?  Mine do, but I hated throwing away all those bits of plastic.  Stainless Steel Straws have been a great eco-friendly alternative. This smoothie tastes just like a cookie, but it is naturally sweetened with just a bit of honey....

WHOLE WHEAT PITA CHIPS WITH YOGURT DIP

After the whole wheat pita bread recipe , here comes the next – whole wheat pita chips. No I’m not getting obsessed with pita breads, it’s just that the other day when I made them I had 2 leftovers and rather than eating them for dinner I thought of making pita chips to munch on. Any snack which is healthy makes me really happy because I can munch on them without much guilt. I usually do not buy any type of chips/wafers from stores, in fact I don’t remember the last time I had those but these homemade pita chips are right up my alley. They are wholesome, healthy and taste great too – just what I look for in my snacks! You will obviously need whole wheat pita breads for this recipe which you can either make at home or get it from the market, either will do. I seasoned the pita chips with some garlic salt, olive oil, salt and pepper. This is where you can get creative and try various seasonings like lemon pepper, smoked paprika etc. Once they are seasoned just bake them till t...
