Frittatas seem to be another popular Paleo type of recipe. Reason being, they are naturally free of grains (usually!) and you can throw just about any kind of veggies in with the eggs and you've got a delicious meal. I've made frittatas with Sweet Potato & Zucchini, with Bacon, "Lettuce" and Tomato. Frittatas are so versatile and so delicious. And super easy to … [Read more...]
Mango, Strawberry Green Smoothie
How often do you drink smoothies? Do you ever drink green smoothies? If not, you are missing out! Our entire family loves green smoothies an we are plowing through all the Make-Ahead Smoothie Packs that I made as part of the 85 Breakfasts & Snacks from Costco for $150 meal plan. Just last night, Cuatro (2 years old) pulled me into the laundry room...where I thought he … [Read more...]
Slow Cooker Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Sauce
Here, take this spoon. And reach through the screen and have a bite. Warm, perfectly sweetened peanut butter sauce, piled onto a homemade chocolate cake (with a secret ingredient!) I share this with you because I love you...and I want you to treat yourself to this ridiculously tasty slow cooker dessert. *mwah* P.S. The secret ingredient isn't really that … [Read more...]
Sausage & Hashbrown Quiche
Brinner saves the day again! You know that I love breakfast for dinner (brinner) recipes and this is another new one that is on our permanent rotation. It's super easy to make with a gluten free crust (or you can totally use a regular pie crust)! All of the ingredients are common items that you probably already have in your kitchen. And, it's a super flexible recipe, so if … [Read more...]
Double Chocolate Scones
You had me at hello. I mean, chocolate. You had me at chocolate. Then you really had me at Double Chocolate. I'm still debating with myself whether to call these breakfast or snack or dessert. Maybe I should just call them all three. Maybe a weekend breakfast, an afternoon snack and a late night treat. Whenever you want to serve them, just serve them. I won't … [Read more...]
Spinach Salad with Strawberries & Goat Cheese
Splurge Confession! I've shared in the past how I'm a total 'saladforlunch-itarian' - meaning that I eat a salad for lunch most days of the week. Well, I wanted to share my latest salad obsession and the reason I'm obsessed! It's the dressing. (See photo below.) I can blame my mom for this one...she has turned me into a Brianna's salad dressing fanatic, despite the … [Read more...]
Chocolate Cookie Dough Bites
Oh sweet baby goodness. If I could share these through the screen, I would! Bite, bite, bite. All it takes is 3 bites to polish one of these babies off. Maybe 2 bites. These cookie dough bites are eggless, they can be made gluten-free (subbing 1-1 with GF flour blend), and dairy-free if you use a dairy-free margarine. I'm all about the versatile and these are versatile … [Read more...]
Tropical Green Smoothie
Smoothies have become my go-to afternoon snack, ever since I made the 'make ahead smoothie packs' for the 85 Breakfasts & Snacks for $140 meal plan. (Definitely check it out, if you haven't yet! It's a huge time, money and sanity saver!) This smoothie is smooth-nomenal. As in "smoothie-phenomenal." I'm not sure if it's the peach in the smoothie. Or the clementine. Or the … [Read more...]
Best White Mexican Cheese or Queso Blanco Dip
Queso Blanco Dip... This is the part where I'm going to embarrass myself. But in the process, I think I'll find a new tribe of queso-lovers. This goes back 2 months, let me tell the story... Back in early February, I met some girlfriends for dinner at a new restaurant in San Antonio called Tacos and Tequila. It's a joint out of Austin and they are expanding into other … [Read more...]
No Bake Gluten Free Coconut Lemon Tarts
Did someone say 'no-bake dessert'??? Why yes, yes I did! We've already had a couple of 'those' days here in San Antonio. The days that make you long for summer...and kinda dread it at the same time. The days where it tops out at a 'dry' 85 degrees and you feel like you're melting. Those first really hot days of the spring that send you running outdoors to play baseball in … [Read more...]
