Make fluffy muffins with a few nourishing ingredients

What do you think happens when I mix these ingredients together and stick ’em in the oven?

….

THIS!

Nourishing fluffy banana muffins

AMAZING, right?! I would have never guessed that peanut butter, eggs, coconut oil, and bananas make delicious, light and fluffy muffins… but they do! They really do! I threw in a handful of chocolate chips cuz, well, that’s my thing. I feel like I’m eating a complete breakfast when I stuff one of these guys in my mouth!

As promised, I’m working on a series of posts on how to shape children’s behavior. It’s taking some time, so I hope you enjoy this tasty dish in the meantime!

whole resizedOne of my favorite meals to prepare is brunch. Not only are many dishes guilty-yummy, but brunch usually means good friends and warm conversation– YAY! I randomly came across this fun recipe a few years ago. It’s super easy to put together, and it’s a unique way to offer proteins other than the usual bacon and sausage. It’s been a hit every time I’ve made it; it looks great, but also tastes delicious. I also appreciate having a baked item for brunches, so you don’t have to man the stove when you’d rather be chatting with friends. A tasty, unique dish with a fun twist on a popular children’s book? Sold!

quich resizedI have always loved quiches, and I don’t know what took me so long to make one. I guess I frequently see my pie and tart pans as vehicles for dessert, so quiches didn’t really come to mind until more recently, when we had a lovely brunch with the girls. One of the ladies brought a quiche, and I was enamored. After that, it still took me a while to re-remember that I wanted to make a quiche, but a frozen bag of kale from Trader Joe’s did the trick. Isn’t kale supposed to be a superfood? I had never cooked with it, but I had a kale salad once at Whole Foods that I wasn’t too crazy about. Well, nothing can taste too bad if it’s buried under a pile of cheese, cream, bacon, and eggs, right? Then again, there’s probably no food healthy enough to make up for all that junk too… but hey, this is no health blog. It’s goodeats. Consume at your own risk!
