Banana Hazelnut Breakfast Bagel

So my new favorite breakfast is my Banana Hazelnut Breakfast Bagel.  YUM!  Hazelnut spread is another one of those food items that I just assumed I didn’t like.  What was I thinking??  I bought the thin bagels, some Kroger brand hazelnut spread, and a few bananas and I am in heaven.  This breakfast keeps me super full because of all the protein in the hazelnut spread and it also speaks to my sweet tooth with the cocoa in the hazelnut spread.  I just have to say that this is a definite go-to breakfast for me!

Eating Cleaner – Recipe #1 – Granola Bars

I am so excited to share this recipe with you!  Joe and I have been trying to eat healthier, make better choices, and eat out less.  Ultimately we want to start eating a lot “cleaner” by leaving out hormones, preservatives, and artificial items from our food whenever possible.  Unfortunately our taste buds have become accustomed to junk that we eat on a regular basis, so we are having to slowly re-train them.  I found this simple recipe for No-Bake Granola Bars on the Pretty Providence blog and figured I would give it a try.

They turned out amazing!!  They are so sweet that I could actually take out the chocolate chips and still enjoy them.  I hope that you try them and enjoy them as much as I do!  We will never buy those over-processed, full of preservatives granola bars again!

On a little side note –  When I sat down to blog this morning, I found Mr. Enzo Ferrari had already taken oven my spot.  He looked so comfortable that I just let him chill and figured I could blog later. 🙂  I love my furbabies!
