Chocolate Covered Strawberry Oatmeal!

March 15, 2014 by

Guys. Chocolate Covered Strawberry Oatmeal was created the other day. And. It. Was. Glorious. I’ve been on a bit of an oatmeal kick lately. It’s just so quick and needing to be at work at 8am just does not fit my favorable lifestyle. (Aka, sleeping until 11am, drinking coffee while watching How I Met Your Mother, showering, finally deciding to become a real human around 1pm when it’s time for more food). So, oatmeal it is! It’s very quick to make, meaning I can hit the snooze button a few more times without skipping breakfast. (Which I’ve come to learn is a huge mistake!) In a bowl, cook quick oats the way you typically would. I prefer the microwave for 1 ½ minute method because, you know, I love sleep and quickness. But if…

Turkey Sausage & Veggie Egg Scramble Breakfast Tacos!

February 17, 2014 by

Tacos are by far my favorite foods. I love Mexican food, and finding different ways to play around with the taco’s fillings, is really fun! This past morning, I made turkey sausage & veggie egg scramble tacos for Dj and I. They were super filling, low in calorie, low in fat, and full of protein!  You Need: 4 Large Eggs *2 Low-Fat Turkey Sausage Links *6 White Mushrooms *1 Small White Onion *1/3 Medium Zucchini *1/3 Medium Yellow Squash *1 Tablespoon Almond Milk *6 Corn Tortillas *Pepper (to taste)* Corn tortillas are a lot better for you than flour tortillas. They are lower in calories, fat, and have a very simple ingredient list. You can read more about the difference here! In a large skillet, sauté the mushrooms, onion, zucchini, yellow squash, and turkey sausage with 1 tablespoon…

Pumpkin Spice Soy Latte!

January 15, 2014 by

After a month of chaos, I am embracing this sudden down time. Within this past 3 ½ weeks, I’ve graduated from college, visited family abroad in London, surprised my dad out in California for his 50th birthday, made a quick stop in Philadelphia to celebrate Dj’s birthday, & then made the drive back to Morgantown! It’s been a whirl wind of activity but a ton of fun! :) London’s Winter Wonderland  My sisters and I in California I also turned 23 last Saturday! Growing up, I learned (thanks, Blink 182) that nobody likes your when you’re 23, so here’s to hoping that is not true. ;) Throughout all of this craziness, I haven’t been cooking too much. All of that is now about to change! Starting off with my Lean Shredded Chicken Tacos with…

Open Faced Turkey, Guacamole, Steamed Egg Sandwich!

December 12, 2013 by

Guys…. I have one more paper due and then I am officially done with my undergraduate degree. I’m going to pause to take that in for a moment. Time has really flown! It’s also extremely overwhelming because I have no idea where I will be 1-2 months from now, but it’s extremely exciting at the same time. Dj had an interview in California for an aerospace engineering job this past week and is flying to Florida in a few days to take on another! Exciting times for all of us. :) Anyways, I want to apologize again for the lack of activity lately! Since it is finals week, my life consisted of coffee, coffee, and more coffee. ;) Not much to blog about there! Except the fact that Starbucks has those adorable red cups…
