You'll often find one of these in my hand on 'those' mornings - the ones where I'm eating in the car on the way to drop the kids off at school! Like many busy moms, I'm up and at 'em early and don't stop moving from the time my feet hit the ground to the time my head hits the pillow. … [Read more...]

Pumpkin Pecan Granola

March 10, 2015 by Jenn K Leave a Comment

I adore homemade granola. It's much cheaper than buying the bag, plus you can control the sweetness. (I like mine on the sweeter side!) And you can add different flavors, nuts, spices, etc. based on what you have in the pantry. This just how this Pumpkin Pecan Granola was born...I had some pumpkin and pecans leftover from after the holidays (perhaps you still do now!) and … [Read more...]

Banana Breakfast Split

March 7, 2015 by Jenn K Leave a Comment

Now is the time to jazz up your yogurt and granola brekkie. Grab a banana, start to make a banana split. Add yogurt, granola and some other fresh fruit (berries!) over top of the banana and devour. The kids will think this is fun that they get to eat a 'banana split' for breakfast. But be warned, they might ask for a legit banana split for dessert that night ;) (Or you could … [Read more...]

There really isn't anything better than a meal that cooks itself. While I generally use my slow cooker for making dinner on busy weekdays, it can also work it's magic to have breakfast waiting for you when you wake up! The only challenge with this recipe is remembering to get it going at the very.very.very end of the day! I usually start it after a late night work session, … [Read more...]

Spinach Pineapple Avocado Smoothie | 5DollarDinners.com

I adore green smoothies. I make them often and have recently started to include ripe, soft avocados to them when I have one on hand and they make them so, so, so creamy and smooth.

Give these green goodies a whirl (pun intended) and enjoy this amazing … [Read more...]
