Two Pinterest recipes

Here are two more recipes from Pinterest I tried, the first, scrambled eggs cooked in a muffin tin. They were good and easy but there is just something with the texture once they are cooked that makes them more like a quiche than actual scrambled eggs.
Basically you add whatever you want to the scrambled eggs, scoop them into the muffin tin and bake at 350 for 20 minutes.

The second are sugared roasted almonds. These were amazing, delicious and addicting. They tastes much better the second day. Sadly, I can not find the recipe. I have this really bad habit of writing out the recipes that I like and deleting the pin or if I don't like the end result I just delete the pin but this time I think I deleted before I wrote it out. One day I will find the recipe again.

Breakfast apple pie yogurt

So after making all 100 mini apple pies and 200 cookies I found myself with some left over diced apples that hadn't been seasoned yet. I added a handful of the apples to some plain Greek yogurt, sprinkled in some cinnamon and nutmeg, a bit of granola (I love natures path organic granola so yummy!) drizzled with a bit of honey and it was so good!

The kids loved it although in theirs I puréed the apples, aly will eat whole apples but if you cut them she won't touch them and drew wont eat apples if he can see them.

I have to admit... I think that this tastes better then my apple pies and the best part is that it is so much healthier than actual pie lol.

Next time I am going to use vanilla yogurt and skip the honey drizzle it was a bit to sweet for me.

Hazelnut hot chocolate and cookies

It is a cold day here today, cloudy and dreary. I have 200 cookies to make for a BBQ at work, I'm exhausted and would rather spend the day curled up on the couch with Aly watching Harry Potter and reading books or coloring.

To give us some much needed energy me and aly made some hazelnut hot chocolate from scratch and it was good. The recipe is very simple

2 cups of milk
2 tblsp cocoa powder
4 tblsp home made nutella (store bought works too)
You can add more or use less nutella to your taste. 4 tblsp gives the hot chocolate just a nice mild barely there hazelnut taste.

Now that I have energy I am off to try to make 200 cookies in 3 hours and get my house and kitchen clean while I'm baking lol. Hopefully I at least get all the cookies made.

Flavored water

I have been challenging myself to drink at least 10 cups of water a day because to be honest... My fluid intake used to be more cafeine than anything else. I have been searching for flavored water that I can make myself and so far I have found these two that I really like and they are so easy!

The first one is citrus water, I make it in my to go cup that hold just over 3 cups of water, I take one slice of orange and one slice of lemon, cut into quartes, squeeze the juice into the cup then add the fruit pieces, a tiny drizzle of blue agave nectar, a few ice cubes, fill with water and all done :) occasionally i add a slice of lime but i find the lime makes it a bit bitter.


The second one that is my favorite is cucmber (I thinly slice about half an inch) three mint leaves and a cery thin slice of lime. I only add a drizzle of agave if the lime adds a bitter taste. This drink is very refreshing and perfect after a workout!
