Muffin Tin Frittatas

Earlier on the blog I discussed some healthy foods that you should keep in your kitchen, one of them being eggs.  They’re an amazing source of protein for a small amount of calories and I promise they’ll keep you full and happy until lunch time.  Fancy egg breakfasts are normally reserved for lazy Saturdays and mornings when I have time to experiment in the kitchen A.K.A. not during the work week.  But then I discovered muffin tin frittatas.  An incredibly easy way to prep breakfasts for the week that feel fancy but still get me out the door on time.

Banana Oatmeal Muffins

This has to be my new favourite muffin recipe. They’re so filling and delicious and contain no sugar! Say whaaaat?! These muffins get their sweetness from pure maple syrup and ripe bananas. So much better for you than that white sugar commonly used in baking. I love these muffins for a midmorning snack with a piece of fruit, it keeps me powering through until lunchtime!

Give these a try and experiment with different add-ins – I’m sure these would taste amazing with slivered almonds or even some raw cacao powder for a chocolate-y twist!

Curried Quinoa Salad

I always have quinoa on hand in my kitchen. It’s so fast and easy to prepare and can be used in so many recipes ranging from breakfast porridge to the crusts in desserts. But my all time favourite go-to? Quinoa salads. They last well in the fridge for grab-and-go lunches and make great healthy sides for summer BBQs.

This salad is a favourite of mine because the flavour combination is so unique. The ripe mangoes combined with the curry in the dressing makes for a sweet and savoury flavour combo that is absolutely delicious.

Warm summer months mean amazing vacations and fun getaways with family and friends.
