When you think of French Toast, what comes to mind? For me, its the delicious albeit unhealthy breakfast that you have to sit over the stove to cook. So if you are cooking this for a crowd, you won’t get any time visiting with anyone. And depending on how you fry it, the calories can really add up fast.

So it’s time for a recipe renovation!!! We’re changing up how you cook French Toast, along with some of the ingredients to reduce calories and infuse flavor~!!! And the product of this is my Healthy, Baked Cinnamon Sugar French Toast!!! And it has become a staple in our home. I love that it packs more protein than standard pancakes, is super easy to make and super delicious! Definitely a winning combination!

Today I want to share with you a recipe for Granola Bars, that will have you skipping the granola bar section at the grocery store! That’s what happened with my family; now they forbid me to buy granola bars in the stores. Which I don’t mind at all, since these are way healthier in terms of nutrition, and also not having preservatives/chemicals in them. And once you try them you’ll see, they taste FRESH, delicious and oh-so chewy~!

When the Taco Bell’s Crunchwrap first came out, I had to try it. Layers of taco beef, cheese, crunchy tostada, salsa, sour cream and yummy veggies, all rolled up in a soft, warm flour tortilla!! What’s not to love??? But what I don’t love is eating fast food, for the obvious health reasons. As well as the fact, that you don’t get to control the quality of ingredients that go into what you are putting in your mouth. So when I found some ideas on Pinterest for making my own Crunchwraps, I had to try it! But of course I had to put my own spin on it, because I can never just follow a recipe.

The spin I put on the recipes on saw on Pinterest, is making it a healthier version. So not only can you control the quality of ingredients, but you also have a much “better for you” version of the original! A win win!! The other bonus to this recipe, is that its super easy and comes together very quickly! A perfect meal for those weeknights when you don’t have a lot of time, or you don’t have a lot of energy!

I’ve always enjoyed Chicken or Fish tacos far more than beef. I figured it was the taste or texture of the beef that I didn’t like. That is until I tried tacos with homemade taco seasoning! Now I not only like beef tacos, but I actually enjoy them!!! It is so easy and quick to make homemade taco seasoning, but it makes such a difference when it comes to depth of flavor in your tacos!!! Once you try making your own seasoning for tacos, you’ll NEVER buy the seasoning packets again~!!!
