7 Ingredient Cinnamon Fruit Sweet Frittata {Whole30 + Paleo}

by 20 Comments

Cinnamon Spiced Fruit Sweet Frittata is a high fiber, delicious whole30 breakfast option filled with naturally sweet fruit, coconut and almonds!  Can also be made ahead for meal prep!

As much as I like eating omelets when I go out to breakfast, I just don’t have the ability to make my own omelets at home.  I have no omelet flipping ability.  The omelets I try to make for myself don’t look or taste anything like the omelets I get at diners/restaurants.  Ugh it’s so frustrating😣

Cinnamon Spiced Fruit Sweet Frittata is a high fiber, delicious whole30 breakfast option filled with naturally sweet fruit, coconut and almonds! Can also be made ahead for meal prep!

I tend to give up and make oatmeal instead because oatmeal is pretty much the cure for everything. But then I remembered about frittatas.  Have you ever made a frittata?  It’s like a big fluffy omelet baked in pie form with no flipping required.  The thought of making a frittata gave me a glimpse of hope that my egg days were not over yet…

Cinnamon Spiced Fruit Sweet Frittata is a high fiber, delicious whole30 breakfast option filled with naturally sweet fruit, coconut and almonds! Can also be made ahead for meal prep!

I know that eggs are super popular for breakfast on the whole 30 and paleo diet, but I know a lot of people get tired of savory breakfasts when all they eat is eggs and bacon.  So I made this frittata sweet by whisking it with cinnamon, adding fruit, coconut and sliced almonds.  Does it sounds weird to mix eggs and fruit?  Don’t be scared, it honestly almost tastes like eggy french toast, no joke!

Cinnamon Spiced Fruit Sweet Frittata is a high fiber, delicious whole30 breakfast option filled with naturally sweet fruit, coconut and almonds! Can also be made ahead for meal prep!

This frittata is also a great option for a make-ahead breakfast.  It serves 4-6 people, and only requires a few simple ingredients!  Feel free to change up the type of fruit you use and drizzle maple syrup on top for extra sweetness.

Blackberry Peach Baked Oatmeal 1

Case-in-point, all the fruit crisp deliciousness. I blame it on the produce market for having such good prices. Not complaining here though, their produce prices are 1/4 of what a regular grocery store’s is and it’s pretty fricken’ awesome.

The only problem is, they are a local produce market so I can’t have all the cheap fruit and veggies year round’ when I’m in college, so that’s why I go hard in the summer. ALL the produce ALL the time.

It feels like it was just winter yesterday, well maybe the fact that the weather is bi-polar and it was like 40 degrees the past two days. Anyways one of my favorite parts about summer is the fresh produce, especially the fact that I can buy 3x the amount of fruit for the same price as in the winter which means tons of fruit-filled desserts like fruit crisp.

DIY Healthy Homemade Blueberry Applesauce

DIY Healthy Homemade Blueberry Applesauce made in a crockpot!

Healthy Homemade blueberry applesauce! It's easy and super-duper healthy too! Who doesn't love blueberries and apples!?

There are so many things I love about summer.  I love going to the beach and enjoying the sand between my toes.  I love having summer bbqs with my large family.  I also love when my mom buys 30 pounds of blueberries to make blueberry pies (and that is why we are made this healthy homemade blueberry applesauce).

We usually make so many that we have frozen pies in our freezer for a whole year.  This particular year we had 5 leftover pies in the freezer from last summer so my mom decided not to get blueberries this year.

Healthy Homemade blueberry applesauce! It's easy and super-duper healthy too! Who doesn't love blueberries and apples!?

After throwing a fit like a toddler, she finally gave in and ordered the bloobs.  Now we have 30 pounds of fresh blueberries just sitting in your fridge.  As much as I love eating the fat and juicy berries, there is only so many blueberries I can eat without getting diarrhea sick.

The classic breakfast muffin overtop of the classic summer dessert, aka heaven

BLOOB1-3

You know that one food that everyone in the whole universe loves?  I’m pretty sure that food is blueberry muffins (and this blueberry peach cobbler topping tastes like blueberry muffin)..

My theory is that if you don’t like blueberry muffins you probably don’t have a soul, I think people would agree that thats pretty accurate.  Who can resist the fluffy sweet breakfast pastries that taste like unfrosted cupcakes?  Not I, thats fo sho.

BLOOB8-2

When my mom asked me to make a  fruity dessert for an upcoming bridal shower I gleamed with excitement.  I knew right then and there that I was gonna make a bomb dot com peach cobbler with a blueberry muffin topping.

BLOOB5-2

Why a blueberry muffin topping you ask?  Because everyone who has a soul and their mother  loves peach cobbler and blueberry muffins.

Dark Chocolate Orange Oatmeal Brûlée

by 18 Comments

I love chocolate (who doesn’t right?), especially dark chocolate.  I love the bitter yet slightly sweet taste of it.  I remember sampling a piece of fine dark chocolate with a hint of orange from Paris and it was out of this world!  I missed that flavor so much that I NEEDED to recreate it.  And of course it had to be oatmeal, because  I eat oatmeal everyday!  Not any kind of oatmeal, oatmeal brûlée because it is fancier and more amazing than regular oats!  This flavor combo may be the most amazing yet, thanks to the bitterness of the cocoa paired with the sweet acidity of the orange.  You will not be disappointed! photo 3 Click HERE to get your unrefined Cane Sugar!
