Don’t you just love when you have that go-to recipe that is so versatile you can make it without having to plan ahead or make a trip to the grocery store or fresh market. Being a Mom of two girls, and having a busy lifestyle where we always seem to be on the go with school, work, and sports, there needs to be easy, healthy recipes that any of us can make within just a few minutes. I am thankful my girls love to create recipes in the kitchen with me, and have created a few of their own favorites just based on this one easy, versatile, and very healthy breakfast treat, or any time snack.
