Easy Breakfast “Soufflé” for Two
This recipe is so easy, yet so impressive! Better yet, while it looks like a tricky time-consuming soufflé, it’s as fast and simple to make as a standard puffy omelet (not the mention a BIG portion has just 215 calories). Here are the secrets for turning an everyday omelet into […]
Wholesome Banana Bread Recipe
Sweet, moist, and with just the right amount of banana flavor – this lightened up loaf (that’s also low in added sugars) has been declared the “best” time and time again. I developed this recipe using a mixture of white whole wheat and all-purpose flour for a wholesome, yet still, […]

These delectable muffins have just 150 calories and a teaspoon of added sugar each making them a perfect breakfast treat (for everyone!). I love warm blueberry muffins, but not the excess calories or sugar they usually bring. So when I came across a blueberry muffin recipe that promised to deliver […]
Breakfast BLT Sandwich
Wow, a BLT for breakfast! This filling and satisfying egg sandwich is so good you will never believe you are eating something better for you than a sausage and egg biscuit. But with 1/2 the calories, carbs, and sodium, only 1/3 the fat, and a load more fiber than a sausage and egg biscuit, you definitely are.
