I’ve got a fun breakfast treat for you today! We eat a lot of oats around here, especially for breakfast. Overnight oatmeal jars are a weekly staple and have tons of healthy oatmeal recipes. But I also like to try and branch out to other grains from time to time. Variety is good, and I want to expose my kids to different types of wholesome foods. These apple cinnamon quinoa breakfast muffins are perfect!...
4.13 98 Published Oct 31, 2013, Updated Aug 26, 2024 I put the ingredients for the apple cinnamon oatmeal together and started the slow cooker around 10PM, went to bed and upon waking up at 6AM, our house smelled like baked apples and my oats were perfectly cooked and waiting for me to dig in – quite a lovely circumstance to wake up to if you ask me. The only thing I needed to whip up was a pot of coffee....
All that being said, I have to say one of my favorite parts of my job is freelance recipe development. It’s fun to be inspired by a certain type of food, or brand, and get to play around in the kitchen until we come up with something perfect, that represents both who we are as cooks and creative minds, and also the client for whom we’re cookin’ things up for....

That’s a great question. A grunt is a fruit-and-biscuit dessert, much like cobbler, but also different because it’s called a grunt and WHO thought that was a good name for a dessert? Unlike a cobbler, which is baked in the oven (resulting in the biscuits browning on top in a crust of sorts), and a crisp, which is both baked and crispy (like this peach crisp or this apple crisp), a grunt is made on the stovetop with the biscuit dough dropped on top and then covered and simmered, resulting in a dumpling-like situation which I am 1000% on board with....
Anyone else on team soup? Soup season is my fave. Italian wedding soup and lemony chicken orzo soup are some of my long-time obsessions.

Easy chicken tortilla soup is a go-to for a cozy lunch. And Instant Pot lentil soup is my favorite vegetarian soup....

4.75 22 Published Nov 15, 2023, Updated Feb 06, 2024 Peanut butter and chocolate is my ultimate dessert combo and the addition of bananas just seals the deal! The bark features a base of frozen bananas slices, a layer of peanut butter and then a final layer of chocolate. Frozen bananas end up tasting like ice cream and this treat reminds me of a Snicker’s ice cream bar. It’s honestly similar to to my chocolate peanut butter banana bites, but it’s a bit easier to make because you don’t have to manage adding a tiny amount of peanut butter between slippery banana slices or mess with dipping each bite in the chocolate!...

I love making cookie truffles because they are just so much fun and quintessentially Christmassy. Even more so than chocolate truffles! And OREO balls are my favorite. Plus, these only take 3 ingredients, so you can whip ’em up at a moment’s notice too. Since OREO comes in different flavors, I decided to make these OREO balls with my favorite – Mint OREO! What I loved even more about these mint OREO balls was decorating them....
Ingredients for Cinnamon Cookie Crunch Popcorn I’m a huge fan of red hots. I personally think they’re totally unappreciated. I’m noticing they’re not carried as much by grocery stores, especially in February, so if you have trouble finding them, try Walgreens. My Walgreens carries them year round in boxes and I believe other similar drug stores would as well. Since we don’t want to break our teeth here, we’re going to smash up those candies....
My friend Kelly from Mountain Mama Cooks suggested a version of this Cream Cheese & Veggie Toast for One on her Facebook page a little while back and some version of this toast has become my favorite lunch or post-workout snack. And it’s only 5 Weight Watchers points (less than most protein bars.) I mean, it’s a little skimpy in the protein department, but it’s a great way to get through that mid-afternoon slump when I’m way more likely to reach for those single-serving Oreos than I am the beef jerky....
more mardi gras options If you’re looking for more Mardi Gras recipes, be sure and check out our Louisiana section!

I mean, I’ve lived here in Louisiana for awhile now, so you’d think I’d have a grasp of that kind of thing, but I’m just calling it like it is....
5 15 Published Jun 24, 2015, Updated Sep 21, 2021 I would have never thought to make rutabaga noodles, but after trying the rutabaga noodles with roasted mushroom pistou meal from hungryroot, I was hooked and knew I wanted to recreate something similar. I’m uncertain why, but I’d actually never purchased a rutabaga before and honestly didn’t know if my local grocery store even carried them. Lucky for me, Whole Foods had a whole bin of them right next to the other root veggies....
