Baked Oatmeal


I figured it was time for a new breakfast post! I am always on the hunt for new recipes that incorporate whole grains. It makes me feel like a good mom when the kids leave with a belly full of good, nutritious food to start their day. This recipe was a feel good mom recipe! On Monday I added peaches and almond extract, then topped each bowl with a splash of vanilla almond milk. Another morning I did blueberries and almonds with vanilla extract, but topped this bowl with a splash of just plain milk. The next time I make it, I want to do diced apples and substitute the brown sugar with applesauce. The great thing about this recipe is you can make what ever combination your family will eat! This is a quick recipe for those busy mornings and a breakfast that even the husbands might like, Mike did!

Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
