Yesterday, The Skinny Fork officially turned 5 years old! Can you believe?! I decided to celebrate the best way that I know how, and that's with mimosas and cake! But, instead of keeping them separate, I put them together into one AMAZING loaf cake.
That's right babes... there's champagne and fresh squeezed orange juice IN this cake TOGETHER. I'm calling it a 'loaf cake' because it's not really a bread, but it's baked as a loaf. Ergo, loaf cake...

Wakey-wakey eggs and bakey! This mornings breakfast is brought to you by, leftovers! Okay, maybe not exactly leftovers but an accumulation of things that I indeed had leftover in my fridge that went unused through the week in some way shape or form.
For instance, the original plan for the spiralized zucchini was for zoodles in a vegan Pho. The same goes for the mushrooms. I'm not entirely sure why the tomatoes were untouched, but somehow everything always works out in the end. Just like these Baked Eggs in a Zucchini Nest!...

It's no secret that I make the same loose resolution every year. To eat better. That's right, even I strive to eat better. That doesn't mean to lose weight or pick up some junky fad diet. No, no. That means... eat better. Eat more of what my body wants and needs and less of the stuff that I think I want.
This year my mom is hanging out with me for an extended visit and we've decided to cut down on carbs and to try and eat more wholly. It's not really been any sort of diet, but more so just a long-term way of changing eating habits instead. Breakfast has to be my most favorite meal of the day. So...

The holiday season is fast approaching, which always means plenty of friends and family coming and going to visit. When this time of year rolls around, there are always two things that I like to have on hand and ready to go; a warm cup of coffee and something sweet to enjoy it with.
There isn't much that reminds me of the holidays and family fun other than a traditional and perfectly tasty sugar cookie. That's probably because my mom and I get together once a year to bake up a cookie storm in my kitchen. We usually each pick two kinds of cookies and bake the day away together. Sugar cookies are always my first choice!...

This post is part of a social shopper marketing insight campaign with Pollinate Media Group® and Sejoyia, but all my opinions are my own. #pmedia #CocoRoonsAtWalmart http://my-disclosur.es/OBsstV
I don't know about you, but I'm still settling into the school day routine all over again. It's hit me hard this year. I guess because my little girl was eagerly sleeping in pretty decently in the summer and now all the sudden it's a 6 am wakeup call to drag her out of bed. She isn't like me. She isn't a morning person.
It's easy (even for me) in the midst of chaotic mornings to not eat as well as I should, or even *GASP* eat nothing at all. Recently I got my hands on these Sejoyia Coco-Roons and I gotta say, they are perfectly portable, popable, mom-friendly, guilt-free snacks. But, I decided to take them a step further from snacking today to include them in this Cocoa Banana Cherry Power Bowl!...

It never fails. Every year around back-to-school, I get stuck on the notion of PB&Js. In the past, I've made parfaits, oat bars, and even sandwich cookies in the theme of PB&J. This time thought, I wanted to put a spin on an old breakfast classic. The waffle!
Of course, speed and ease are a huge thing with back-to-school. Especially in those first couple of weeks when you're busy getting back into the routine and setting yourself and your kids up for a successful school year. It's a lot of work, mommas. I know it! That's why I wanted to make these Easy Peanut Butter & Jelly Waffles...
