The Best Brunch Addition

Happy Sunday Everyone!

Hope you've got some champs ready to pop!  Now obviously brunch is the best part of weekends but I wanted to give you something to add that is simply divine. When I was growing up, my Mom would make these French Breakfast Puffs for birthdays and special occasions It was a great tradition. They are so delicious that I wanted to share the recipe with you.

French Breakfast Puffs

1 1/2 cups flour

1 1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp nutmeg

_

1/2 cup sugar  

1/3 cup shortening

1 egg

_

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

6 tbsp melted butter

Preheat oven to 350. Grease a muffin tin, stir together flour, baking powder, salt and nutmeg then set aside. In a mixer, cream together 1/2 sugar, shortening, and egg. Add flour mixture and milk alternately to the creamed mixture, beating well after each addition. Fill the muffin tins 2/3 of the way full and pop them in the oven 20-25 minutes.  

Combine 1/2 sugar and cinnamon. Once you remove the muffins from oven dip in melted butter and then into the cinnamon sugar mixture.  

Make these delicious muffins with your kids or for your significant other!

Trust me they are worth it! 

Enjoy your day! 

A Good Start

Many have started the year out on a diet or just trying to improve their lifestyle. Sometimes eating healthy can be really daunting and don't know where to start. This is a really good option that I've been just loving. On Sundays I always meal prep mostly because I have to have everything ready to eat at a moments notice when Theo falls asleep. I wanted to share with you what I've been eating for lunch lately. This dish is a great go-to as you can switch up the ingredients to make it what you like. 

As you can see I used:

Cherry Tomato's

Avocado

Cucumber

Quinoa

Red Onion

Shrimp

I love simple recipes! Feel free to tweak this as you see fit. That's the best part it's super versitile! Swap the shrimp to chicken or steak for your protein or the Quinoa for brown rice. I'm currently not eating meat so that's why you'll be seeing more meatless and seafood in my recipes here.  

So if you don't know exactly what do to first with healthy eating this is a pretty good place to start.  

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Simple Salmon

These days the "fast" in Fast Fashionista has a whole new meaning. When I have a 15-20 minute window I have to be ten times as fast as I used to be. So dinner through the week has to be really fast...and healthy. This is one of my favorite salmon recipes because it's both. Perfect when you're looking for something with health benefits but so don't feel like making your kitchen a mess or really dealing with dinner in general. It's this simple:

2 salmon fillets

1/2 pound asparagus  

1 1/2 olive oil

2 tbsp minced garlic

salt for taste

lemon slices

parsley for a little flavor on top

Cut your salmon in half if not done already and cut the ends off of your asparagus. On a piece of foil add your asparagus and put a piece of salmon on top. Then, in a small bowl mix together oil and garlic. Sprinkle salt for flavor and add two lemon slices, add your parsley and wrap your foil. Pop it in the oven on 400 degrees for 25 minutes and pour yourself a drink. 

Enjoy your Wednesday!
