Everything’s bigger in Texas… Go BIG or go home… I could keep going with these phrases all day! This GIANT Pop-Tart is the perfect thing to bake on any weekend or otherwise lazy morning. It’s big. It’s beautiful. It’s literally one of the best things to wake up to, and while we’re here in the thick of summer my oven can ONLY be used early in the morning.
So. Here we are.
It’s early on a Sunday morning and I’m up making the biggest Pop-Tart my kitchen has ever seen…

It’s summer and strawberries are back in season. Well, all the berries pretty much are. When I got my hot little hands on a local limited edition ‘strawberry’ almond milk, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. And that was to make some more Amish style oatmeal.
I’ve made Amish oatmeal before, and it’s always been one of my favorites. It’s great to have on hand and ready to bake first thing in the morning. I’d almost venture to say that Amish oatmeal would be the grandparent to the new fangled raw overnight oats. This time around though, I piled in the strawberries along with the strawberry almond milk and…

In the past, I’ve not been a huge fan of drinking my meals. But… over the past year or two it’s become a go-to in a lot of cases. Life continues to get more crazy and busy, and it’s just easier and quicker to down a meal in a few glugs rather than sit and focus and eat. Although the latter is still my preferred method of eating, it’s just not always doable.
Enter this Strawberry Banana Smoothie.
If I’m going to drink my meal, I want it to be made with things I love and taste amazing. So? That’s where the strawberries and banana come in…

It’s STRAWBERRY season! Fresh strawberries are one of my favorites. But, then again, any fresh berry that’s in season will be welcomed with open arms. Even so, with all this big glorious berries around right now, I thought it was high time to put them to use!
This Skinny Strawberry Bread is absolutely LOADED with fresh strawberries to the point that you don’t need any sort of jam or icing on this bread. It’s perfect just the way it is. The bread here is just sweet enough, and with the bright freshness of those strawberries… I’m in heaven right now. THIS is how breakfast should be…

Sometimes… you get a wild idea and you just have to go with it. This Skinny Strawberry Pop-Tart Cobbler was definitely one such idea. I had come across a fun idea for a strawberry pop-tart pie, but.. to be completely honest with you, homemade pie crust scares me. So, I started to think back to this summer when I made a few delicious and easy cobblers. Then BOOM lightening struck and the world made sense.
…Why not make the strawberry pop-tart into a cobbler instead?
If you’ve ever had a pop-tart before, then you know you’re in for a big treat here. The strawberry ‘filling’ part of this cobbler is meant to taste just like the strawberry ‘filling’ that you’d find in a pop-tart…

What a weekend! It was a mix of fun, excitement, and even some drama - to say the least. While my house was a little more than full, It was FULL of people that I love and adore. And when I love and adore you, I feed you. That's why I decided to press on with making this Strawberries & Cream Monkey Bread for breakfast one morning.
I based this monkey bread off of one that I had made before, with just a few simple adjustments to use up the last bits of fresh strawberries in the season. To say that this sweet treat is delicious, would be a sad understatement! It's loaded with strawberries and sweet ooey-gooey goodness among every nook and cranny…
