While my mom has been on the 'Get Forking Skinny Meal Plan', she decided that one of her favorite breakfasts/lunches ever is the Skinny PB&J Parfait. It's one of my favorites too.
So, with that in mind... I wanted to come up with another similar treat for her! Something that she wouldn't come up with on her own and that, once again, was just outside of her comfort zone.
What's better than peanut butter and chocolate?
Well, not much. If anything...
Read MoreI'm taking a little break from my 'game day' inspired recipes today and enjoying a nice little light breakfast.
I've got to admit, breakfast is the hardest meal of the day for me. Somewhere between getting myself up and going and getting my little girl up and going... I more often than not either skip it all together or end up scarfing down the remains of whatever I made her that day.

Two of my most favorite things combined into one wonderful collaboration of epic proportions! Red velvet and cinnamon rolls. Need I say more?
While these little devils may take some time and attention, they are absolutely worth the effort!...
Read MoreQuiche is another perfect way to use up leftovers since the recipe is just so forgiving.
You can use basically any sort of meat or vegetable that you happen to have on hand. Don't have mushrooms? Swap them out for a cup of cooked meat; bacon, sausage, deli ham, it doesn't really matter! You could even swap them for another veggie, like bell pepper...
Read MoreI've not made many pancakes in my life. I think I always secretly thought that they were overly difficult and took too much time, but I've changed my mind on that in the past few weeks.
This is actually the second time in two weeks that I've made pancakes. The first batch was about a week ago. I had done my research and drafted up two recipes that I couldn't decide between. I was busy in the kitchen making a fruit topping so I handed off the recipes to my mom, circling the one I wanted her to mix up...
