Sexy Girls Love
Fibrous Granola
That’s right baby. You read it here. Sexy girls love fiber. It’s a thing…we gotta’ keep it tight and our fiber baby just has a way of helping us out. She expands in the tum-tum, making us feel fuller longer and she always helps us ‘go’ when we need it most. And everyone loves that, right? Make this fiber rich, crunchy, not too sweet, dreamy cluster granola and thank me later. Eat it for breaky, or as a midnight snack with a lil yogi or milky.

Jammy Egg’s With Herbs
When I was in in Tel Aviv, Israel, I was staying at an amazing hotel that offered an incredible breakfast. From bourekas, to lebneh with honey, to chocolate babka, the food Mediterranean feast was chefs kiss. Every morning I kept going back to the buffet for this one very delicious savory dish: mashed eggs with avocado and herbs. It was fatty, rich, but full of herbs and bright from citrus. I decided to take the recipe home with me in my heart and in my at-home-cook-brain and come up with something similar.

Fancy Iced Coffee
I love coffee in the morning as much as the next chick. I’m not a unique little bird in any way— I drink my coffee with milk and call it a day! But, while living in Denver, it’s been hard to avoid the incredible coffee shops all over the city that offer such unique coffee drinks— from Orange Caramel Lattes, to Rosemary Rose syrup in a classic Cortado, etc. D-I-V-I-N-E. But, I had to stop my little adventures to the local shops because my bank account was hating me and couldn’t justify a 6 dollar coffee drink i’d devour in 4 seconds. So low and behold, I created something just as good but for a million times cheaper, in the comfort of my home.

-Take the remaining half, and grab an electric hand whisk, milk foamer, or milk frother machine, and steam the remaining milk.
-Pour steamed milk on top
-Grab your adorable metal straw, and loosely mix and enjoy!

Cinnamon Toast
When I used to live in a tiny bungalow apartment in NYC, I barely had any room to cook. My kitchen consisted of an oven and a sink— no countertop or anything like that. We had a fridge (but that was smack in the middle of my living room). 200 square feet and a full bed for me and ma’ man. During this time, we loved to drink White Russians and make snacks while watching Animal Planet on Netflix. One of the top goodies w'e’d make was: Cinnamon Toast. Easy, practical, no kitchen mess fuss and always satisfying.
