Sweet Potato Rosemary Hash and Sunny Eggs

This is a really simple hash to make. It is quick enough for a weekday breakfast before work. This recipe uses already cooked sweet potato. I like to pre-cook sweet potatoes and keep them in the fridge for use during the week.  They are so versatile. It's great to always have them on hand.

Pumpkin Spice Latte

We are well into fall and and the ever popular Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks is many people's favorite fall drink. I used to love these until I found out the real ingredients. My main gripe is the amount of sugar in one drink. 

There are 48 grams of sugar in a Starbucks Grande Pumpkin Spice Latte (2% milk without whipped cream). This is the equivalent of consuming 9.6 teaspoons of sugar.

Honey Glazed Carrots

This recipe makes a great addition to any dinner. These are very simple to make with only a few ingredients. Carrots topped with parsley create such a pretty color combo and makes any meal seem a little bit fancy. It's so important to eat vegetables at each meal, but sometimes its hard to think of different ways to serve them. This is a great recipe to have in your back pocket when trying to quickly add some veggies to a meal.

Shrimp Pesto Zoodles (Spiralized Zucchini Noodles)

This recipe replaces wheat pasta noodles with spiralized zucchini. They only take a few minutes to cook and are much lower in carbs than regular pasta.  I bought my spiralizer on Amazon about a year ago. It has revolutionized my non-wheat recipe creations! It comes with 3 blades to make different veggie thicknesses.  I spiralize sweet potatoes all the time using this tool. They make great curly fries or sweet potato hash.

Lemon Raspberry Thumbprint Cookies

I am pretty excited about these little guys. I love lemon everything, especially in the summer. This recipe is really simple to make using a food processor. These cookies make a great dessert or pair perfectly with a cup of coffee.  

Egg Labels - What Do They Really Mean?

There are so many different types of eggs to choose from at the store. Since eggs are such a nutrient powerhouse it's important the know what you're buying. It can be a little overwhelming and confusing. Here is a breakdown of the types of eggs available in most stores and what they really mean.

Homemade Coffee Creamer and Butter Coffee Recipe

Most store bought coffee creamers have a very long list of ingredients most of which are not going to help you get through your day feeling energetic and alert. Why add this commercial concoction to your cup of joe every morning? There are some other options that are delicious and also good for you.  I've been on my version of a "Bullet Proof" coffee kick for awhile (coffee mixed with coconut oil and grass-fed butter).
