The lovely people over at Chobani sent me some more of their delicious yogurts and I decided to bake something up with the banana yogurt! These pancakes came out fluffy, delicious, and oh so full of banana! We will definitely be making these like alllllll the time.

One of my absolute favorite things about weekends are Sunday morning breakfasts. Sundays are the only day of the week that I can test out new breakfast recipes and take pictures while I am cooking {it gets dark out so early during the winter when I cook during the week}. I tend to wake up before my husband and if he’s lucky {and he usually is}, I let him sleep in until breakfast is almost ready. This fritatta is a recent success of one such Sunday. It’s got eggs and it’s got cheese. Three cheeses to be exact, and even a veggie or two. What more could you ask for in a delicious breakfast?!

I have had a deep, pure love for hollandaise sauce for a very, very long time. This rich and buttery condiment, with its hint of tangy goodness, is quite possibly my all time favorite sauce. {Okay, maybe it’s in my top three favorites. There are too many good ones!} Justin and I have attempted to make hollandaise several times but it has never tasted quite as good as restaurant quality. After trying maybe three or four times, we sort of gave up.
And then…I saw a photograph posted by my favorite blogger friend Chloe, of a delicious and delectable plate of eggs benedict {see photo below}. Now Chloe knows good food and she takes incredible pictures and this shot in particular made me want eggs benedict ASAP. So, Justin and I decided to try our favorite sauce one more time. And this time, we chose the most simple method we could find {we kept failing at the stove top, double boiler} and it turned out DELICIOUS! We had our eggs benedict over some homemade sage biscuits {incredibly easy recipe} and it was all amazing. Like no exaggeration here…AMAZING. A-MAZING. Hands down my all-time favorite breakfast.

Check out Chloe’s fantastic blog, AndChloe.com. The photo above was taken at one of her favorite eateries, Miami Acme Bakery & Coffee. I’m hoping to try this dish there myself when Justin and I go to Florida in March!
Remember that really cool, awesome weekend when I made bread and I was freakishly excited? Well, while I had been slaving away on that focaccia, my friend Nicole was on the other side of the counter making homemade English muffins! Yep! Homemade. They were moist and perfect and delectable and so wonderfully easy. {Keep in mind, easy does not mean fast.} Nicole did such an amazing job at these and I was absolutely delighted when she said I could take several home for myself. Try out this recipe, you’ll never want store bought again!

Just recently, the nice folks over at Chobani Greek Yogurt sent me a large case of 6 of their yummiest yogurts. I received Vanilla Chocolate Chunk, Blueberry, Peach, Pineapple, Mango, and Black Cherry. {Thank you Chobani!} We actually forgot that the package was arriving that day so opening the front door right before bed and finding these wonderful goodies was such a delight! I was sooooo excited to get these and I immediately started planning recipes in my head. {Justin, of course, kept commenting on the amazing quality of the ice packs that were packaged with the yogurts. That’s my honey for ya!} So I already have three recipes ready to post and I loved all of them! I had no idea that Greek yogurt could be substituted for so many things! Talk about cutting out calories. {Check out the Chobani Conversion Chart below my muffin pics!}
For our first try at Greek yogurt cooking, Justin drummed up this blueberry chia seed muffin recipe. They came out quite delicious and are pretty guilt-free. The recipe doesn’t use much sugar and the chia seeds add quite a bit of fiber, antioxidants, and Omega-3s. They were extremely quick and easy to make as well. We made a second batch a week later one morning before work and I loved how simple and fast it was. Enjoy!
