Banana Coconut Cream Bowl

If you happen to make a batch of whipped coconut cream, you’re only seconds away from this Banana Coconut Cream Bowl situation! I take a scoop of coconut cream and place it in a bowl with bananas and toasted coconut. Mash it all up together and it tastes kinda like a banana coconut cream pie. I think next time I’m going to add graham cracker crumbles. Happy snacking!

Zucchini Noodles with Sausage

Dinners sometimes get a little interesting when Casey is working late. Cooper and I put together snack dinners, we eat leftovers, and sometimes I resort to cereal or popcorn for dinner. When Casey’s home I cook heartier meals– more meat & carb related things.

But sometimes, I make Cooper and I separate things because maybe I want something vegetable heavy and maybe he doesn’t. On this particular night I had a zucchini in the fridge and a sausage to cook. This is what I made! Sausage is browned, marinara is stirred in. We have instant meat sauce. A quick sauté for the zucchini and we marry the two to make this delicious Zucchini Noodles with Sausage bowl. Serves 1 or 2 if you feel like sharing.

You could get yourself a spiralizer or use a box grater for this! I chose box grater. It was closest to the kitchen.

Grilled Peaches with Blackberry Sauce

These peaches were apart of my meal prep this week. I wanted to have something to snack on at 3PM at work today. I always want to be healthy on Mondays.

This is a start.

Please don’t suggest we eat fries today at lunch. You know I can’t resist fries….

Grilled peaches with a blackberry sauce. Coconut whipped cream…and granola…..

It’s all raw (except for the granola). You better be eating all the peaches you can because they’re gonna be outta this season soon! Starting the week of RIGHT.

Great. You suggested fries. Thank you/no thank you/but really thank you.
