I don’t know about you, but I just love the warm weather and all the seasonal produce it brings along with it. Healthy, fresh food does not need to be bland. I eat healthy and can tell you that you don’t have to sacrifice flavor or eat boring.

This Southwestern Avocado Toast is no exception. For this recipe, I chose to use eureka! organic bread which bursts with rich flavor and tasty goodness! It pairs so well with the fresh tomatoes, onions, cilantro and avocado. Put it all together and you have yourself a very delicious and flavorful meal!

Morning Glory Breakfast Cookies

Have you ever had Morning Glory Breakfast Cookies? Or maybe morning glory muffins? They are very similar to carrot cake muffins or carrot cake breakfast cookies.

Today I am super excited to bring you this particular morning glory recipe since it’s totally grain-free! I used chickpeas as a base and they turned out great.

These healthy breakfast cookies have very little added sugar. There is only 1/4 cup maple syrup in the entire recipe! They are vegan, gluten free and grain free!

You can easily make these nut free by using sunflower seeds instead of the pecans.

Do you love Snickerdoodles? If so, you will love these kid friendly Snickerdoodle Pancakes! These pancakes aren’t just kid friendly, they come with a boost of protein and fiber thanks to a special ingredient.

The special ingredient in these healthy pancakes is chickpea flour. Chickpeas fall under the term pulses. Other foods in the pulse category are: lentils, beans and peas. Did you know that the UN declared 2016 the International Year of the Pulses? You may ask, why does the UN care about pulses? Let me tell you all about it!

Oat Bran Muffins (Vegan, Gluten Free)

I have some Oat Bran Muffins for you to try! I have been making bran muffins for years. However, the recipe I use is not gluten free. It calls for spelt flour.

So this week, I tweaked it a bit to make it gluten free. The result was delicious and my 6 year old LOVED them. I hope you love them too.

Not only is this recipe vegan and gluten free, but it can easily be made nut free if you just swap out the almond milk for another nut free milk.
