Blueberry Coconut Baked Oatmeal

We have been on a major oatmeal kick lately and that makes this mama happy. Oatmeal can be healthy, filling and different every day. Plus, most baked options make a large amount so that means cook breakfast once and have several meals done for the week. When I was looking for something to make for

Corny Banana Blueberry Pancakes

I have another recipe from The Skinnytaste Cookbook to share today. When I get a new cookbook, I flag the must try recipes with little sticky notes and this was one that jumped out at me. So we tried it right away naturally. We really enjoy pancakes on a lazy Saturday morning but I’ve found that

Baked Oatmeal

I have to admit I am not a huge fan of breakfast food. Sweets in the morning are just too much for me most of the time (although I do sometimes get a hankering for pancakes or doughnuts). It’s just not my thing. I would much rather munch on some kettle chips and swig a
