“Quarantine & Chill Meals”

Hey guys! So most of us have all been in quarantine where we are forced to cook more! I actually enjoy cooking and I only really go out to dinner on weekends only! Since the pandemic started I have cooked more, and just took this time to really appreciate life more! I have caught up on so many activities that I normally don’t have time for when I’m at work! I have been off work for a little over a month now and I really can’t complain! I’m Alive, Healthy and Stress-Free! It took some time for me to get here though! Anyways I have a few recipes I’ll be sharing with you guys on what I’ve cooked so far! Enjoy! Recipes are from Pinterest!

Loaded Sheet Pan Nachos!
Stuffed Taco Shells
Arugula Salad!
Banana Pancakes!

“Breakfast on the go”

“Egg and Spinach Muffins”
We all know breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but with such busy schedules we sometimes miss breakfast…
I have a very simple, delicious and quick recipe for the girl/guy on the go! It’s also healthy and can be made several different ways!
Check it out below:
Ingredients: 6-8 large eggs, spinach, turkey or ham from the deli section at your local grocery store, season to taste with salt and pepper…

Preparation:
1. I like to take all my ingredients and separate them into smaller bowls (cheese, spinach, eggs and ham) you can chop up everything that needs to be chopped before placing them into smaller bowls
2. Whisk together your eggs and add salt and pepper…
3. Combine all ingredients into a large bowl..
4. Spray your muffin pan with olive oil and align with baking cups.. Fill each baking cup up (using a spoon) making sure it doesn’t spill over..
5. Top each baking cup with additional cheese…
6. Bake for 20 minutes (350-400 degrees temp setting for the oven)……
7. Let them cool completely before taking them out of the baking cups….
8. Refrigerate any remaining in ziplock bags and warm them up the next day.. They remain fresh for up to a week.. Great meal prep recipe to try!
Enjoy! Xoxo!

“Chocolate Chip Banana Bread”

I decided to make my all time favorite banana bread recipe from tasty.com P.S. it has chocolate in it! I mean who doesn’t love chocolate?
This recipe is seriously so good and simple that you’ll want to make it every week… It’s perfect for those early mornings with coffee and it’s definitely a crowd pleaser….
Let’s get into it:
Ingredients:
  • 3 Ripe Bananas (make sure they’re really ripe)
  • 1/3 Cup, Melted butter
  • 1/2 Cup Sugar
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking soda
  • Salt, to taste (optional)
  • 1 1/2 Cups, All-purpose flour
  • 1/2 Cup Mini chocolate chips
Preparation:
  1. Preheat oven to 350˚F (180˚F).
  2. In a bowl, add the bananas and mash until smooth. Add in the melted butter and stir until well combined…..
  3. Add the sugar, egg, vanilla, baking soda, salt, and flour, and stir until the batter is smooth…..
  4. Add in the chocolate chips and pour the batter into a greased loaf pan. Top with additional chocolate chips. Make sure the pan is throughly greased….
  5. Bake for 50 minutes to an hour, or until a toothpick comes out clean….. (I always bake for an hour)
  6. Cool completely before serving and cutting… Typically takes about 20 minutes to cool and it’s easier to cut…
  7. Enjoy! Serve with coffee!
