One thing that I have really enjoyed this past summer is making breakfast parfaits.
I do not know what it is, but they are just light on the system and they kinda trip the body into thinking that it’s getting a sugary treat so you don’t crave sugar all day (YAY!)
This parfait is sweet, HEALTHY, and satisfying!

Vegan and Gluten Free “Chocolate” Glazed Donuts
Let me introduce you to my favorite – and the most popular of my donuts…The Vegan and Gluten Free Chocolatey Glazed Donuts. No compromise in flavor here!

Orange Raspberry Blueberry Muffins Recipe
I once was in a shopping mall in California (Sears, I believe), and read a screen t-shirt that was soooo hilarious to me that I took a picture of it. It said (and I quote), “Muffins are just ugly cupcakes”. It had a picture of this beautifully conceited cupcake staring down its low-esteemed muffin companion.
I know – pretty mean – but I had to laugh!
Now of course, I view it as “Cupcakes are just pretty muffins with hats on”, but that is neither here nor there.
