Healthy Apple Pie Yogurt Brûlée {7 Ingredients!}

November 2, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 28 Comments

Do you crave something sweet for breakfast? Have no fear! You can make this Healthy Apple Pie Yogurt Brûlée in a few minutes!

I LOVE greek yogurt for breakfast (now this apple pie yogurt brulee is my new obsession!)! Its one of the few things that actually keep me full for at least 3 hours. But I’m completely serious when I say NOTHING feels me up quite like a big bowl of greek yogurt does.

I’ve tried every breakfast food, from three egg omelets, oatmeal with a ginormous amount of PB, five multi-grain pancakes with bacon, etc.

Maybe its because my body is picky and tries to imply that only yogurt will do, or maybe its all in my head (insert awkward smiling emoji). But I’m not complaining, because greek yogurt is one of the most perfect foods in my opinion! Its full of satisfying protein that gives me tons of energy to go about my day!

Did you ever had apple pie for breakfast? oh no you didn’t? You can change that now! Did you have creme brûlée for breakfast before? Oh no, not that either? I can fix that!

You can have this simple but perfect Apple Pie Yogurt Brûlée for breakfast that can be made in under 5 minutes! Its hard to believe that this ~~dessert~~ breakfast is made of all natural ingredients and is paleo friendly, vegan friendly (when coconut yogurt is used), grain-free, gluten-free and just plain delicious!

Gluten-free Sweet Potato Oatmeal Bread with Pecan Streusel {GF + Vegan!}

October 25, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 52 Comments

Looking for a good quick bread recipe for fall? Make this Gluten-free healthy Sweet Potato Oatmeal Bread with Pecan Streusel!

You know those dishes/foods that you eat so much of, but you don’t get sick of? That’s my relationship with sweet potatoe (and that is why I’m coming to you today with this sweet potato oatmeal bread).

In fact, I eat them so much that my skin is slightly tinted orange from the beta carotene overload! Don’t worry though, people actually tell me I look tan! I’d say that’s an added plus for eating sweet potatoes.

At Thanksgiving, I’ve alway been the person who skips the turkey, stuffing and other classic dishes to dig right into the sweet potato casserole. And then I manage to eat half of it while everyone is stuffing their face with turkey.

I’m also that person who buys 10 pounds of sweet potatoes at one time because the little 2 pound bag ain’t got nothing on my sweet potato obsession.

Now I’m a huge fan of any quick bread, so naturally I had to make a sweet potato version. Pumpkin bread and banana bread are good, but when compared to sweet potato pecan streusel bread, well lets just say there is no comparison. Its moist, doughy, dense, naturally sweet, full of fiber, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan-friendly and everything you want in a quick bread.

Paleo Apple Pie Breakfast Pizza

October 18, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 47 Comments

Looking for a healthy and filling breakfast? Make this Paleo Apple Pie Breakfast Pizza! Its gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free and vegan-friendly!

So if you can’t tell already, I may have an obsession with making breakfast pizzas #sorrynotsorry. Hey, when you create a recipe that you’re super proud of, why not make more than one variation of it?

It all started with fresh summer zucchini, and the idea of creating a zucchini bread breakfast pizza.

Then it transitioned into a fall-inspired pumpkin bread version. Then it led to an apple variation because apples are just are cool and popular as pumpkin is.

And you can never go wrong with a single-serving pizza for breakfast. I repeat: SINGLE SERVING! Aka, no sharing needed! And its not like you will want to share after one bite, and if you want to, you’re crazy.

Apple Pie Breakfast Pizza

If you’ve been living under a rock you probably haven’t realized that apples are totally in style now and there available everywhere.

So when life gives you apples, make this Apple Pie Breakfast Pizza!

Skillet Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding {can be GF, Vegan + Paleo}

October 13, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 42 Comments

This Healthy Apple Cinnamon Bread Pudding is a quick and easy dessert or breakfast and is a great way to use up leftover bread!

When I was in elementary school, It always used to bug me so much when kids at lunch wouldn’t eat sandwiches with crusts on. They acted like they were eatingt poison or something! I never had a problem with crusts, It’s literally just bread (the best part, in my opinion).

Anyway, the only time I had a legitimate excuse to take crusts off was to make my French Toast Rollups (by the way, you should make these, they are incredible!). We don’t like wasting things in our household.

There was no way that I was gonna throw away 3 cups of bread crusts;)

Not just bread pudding, but skillet bread pudding. First you cook the apples in the skillet, Mix apples with the other ingredients, then place everything in the skillet and bake.

There is no need to wash out the skillet. Just one bowl, one skillet, 7 ingredients, so simple and easy with no mess!

I found out something: Apples get caramelized when cook them in a skillet! Just another bonus if you make this! You can also customize this by using whatever type of bread fits your dietary needs, whether it be paleo, vegan, GF or whole-wheat, everyone can enjoy it.

Spicy Cinnamon Blackened Salmon with Pumpkin Cranberry Salsa

October 9, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 33 Comments

This Spicy Cinnamon Blackened Salmon with Pumpkin-Cranberry Salsa is the perfect fall dinner!

Excitement cannot even describe the way I’m feeling about sharing this recipe today. You know why? Cause I feel like a genius and that doesn’t happen very often!

So we all know that its not a secrets that I’m a lover of all things pumpkin! I eat that stuff even before fall (its a four season deal for me). While I usually make sweet recipes with the golden squash, I made a u-turn with this recipe.

You see, as I was laying in bed trying to go back to sleep on Saturday trying to make myself sleep in (which didn’t work btw, I woke up at 7:30) I started to brainstorm about recipes that I could make with pumpkin.

I started having flash backs of the awesome blackened salmon dishes I had in the summer with mango salsa. The idea struck my mind that I should make a fall-inspired salmon recipe to recreate my favorite summer dinner! My idea was pretty successful to say the least.

I’m pretty proud of myself that I came up with this recipe because its not often when I succeed by totally winging a recipe! I thru together a spice rub and prayed that it would taste well, and thank God it did! Cinnamon on salmon may sound weird, but I promise you its totally worth it.

The cranberry and pumpkin salsa totally makes this dish that much better! It also may sound weird adding cubed pumpkin and cranberries to salsa, but again, its totally worth it. This recipe sounds like a strange combo but don’t knock it till you try it!

Paleo Pumpkin Breakfast Pizza

September 30, 2015 by Bethany 52 Comments

Paleo Pumpkin Bread Breakfast Pizza is served in a single portion, so no sharing!

I’ve been the biggest fan of quick bread ever since I can remember. Yes zucchini bread and carrot bread are on point, but pumpkin bread (and so is this pumpkin bread breakfast pizza!) is the bee’s knees. Unlike 80% of America, I actually appreciate the true taste of pumpkin (yes I’m talking to all you Pumpkin Spice Latte Lovers).

I must admit though, that the standard 12 slices a loaf serving size is a bit too small. When I eat pumpkin bread, I go hard and devour at least 1/3 of it per sitting. But really, who can eat only one tiny slice? I applaud you if you are capable of this!

Because of my inability to share a loaf of pumpkin bread, I decided it be a great idea to make a single serving version. Not only that but I got even more creative and made a pumpkin bread breakfast pizza because yolo (I know that saying is solo last year, ugh).

Because yolo, pizza is always acceptable for breakfast. A sweet quick-bread inspired pizza for breakfast is even more acceptable in my mind. Its grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo-friendly and (can be) vegan-friendly! Chew on dat.

Sweet Potato Spice Frozen Latte

September 27, 2015 by Bethany And Rachel 29 Comments

Ahhh, I CANNOT WAIT FOR FALL! I love watching the leaves change, the cool but perfect weather and of course the traditions. Its the smell of cinnamon that overflows my kitchen and the taste of sweet potatoes and pumpkin that gets me particularly excited! Now I know a lot of you guys probably love the pumpkin spiced latter from Starbucks, but I’m here to tell you that I have something a million times better than that chemical laden drink! A Sweet Potato Spice Frozen Latte!

I was fortunate enough to be sent The Easy Vegan Cookbook by Kathy Hester who blogs at Healthy Slow Cooking, and man does it have some amazing recipes! These tasty recipes are not only vegan, but they are oil-free, soy-free and gluten-free! The Sweet Potato Spice Frozen Latte particularly caught my eye, since I’m head-over-heels for anything sweet potato (plus I always have a stash in my apartment).

I’m also a coffee junkie, and cold brew is my choice over hot coffee. Needless to say, this recipe was a match made in heaven! Not only is it super easy to make, its also super healthy and naturally low in calories ( 58 calories per serving whoop whoop)!
