Food Inspiration

I love cooking. 

It makes me feel grounded

and gives a sense of routine. 

But at the same

I feel creative

innovative

and artistic.

I'll be out for a week and won't be doing any cooking, 

so here's my inspiration for when I return. 

You can check out more on my Pinterest boards!

Breakfast

Grab and Go Breakfast Bars with No Added Sugars

from Snack Girl

these would be a perfect alternative to other preservative and 

sweetener laden grab and go breakfast options!

Avocado Eggs Benedict with Chipotle Hollandaise Sauce

from Confections of a Foodie Bride

Doesn't that sound so flavorful? This would be perfect for a 

day off brunch, or even for dinner one day!

Apple and Brie Stuffed French Toast

from BS in the Kitchen

Oh man, this sounds good. LOVE the apple+brie combo.

Entrees

Baked Coconut Shrimp with Pineapple Sauce

by girlwhoateeverything on Tablespoon

This recipe is super simple and healthy! Plus, I am lacking on seafood cooking experience. This looks like a great place to start. 

Vegetarian Lettuce Wraps 

from The Pioneer Woman 

I really like lettuce wraps and am opening myself up to meatless entrees

If Pioneer Woman vouches for tofu, it's got to be worth a try!

Spinach Lasagna

by Smells Like Home

Another meatless option, but it sounds so rich and creamy and delicious!

I've never made a lasagna from scratch- Stouffer's has always been my go-to.

I'm excited to try this out!

Desserts

Birthday Cake Oreo Stuffed Brownie

from Bake at 350

Oreos baked inside of brownies. Seriously. 

Coffee Popsicle Push Pops

from The Kitchenarian 

We had 90 degree temperatures in Austin this past week. Definitely time to start looking at some frozen treats! Push pops are such a fun throwback with some more mature flavors.

Easter Cupcakes Baked in an Egg Shell

from the Cupcake Project 

How cool is this for Easter?

I'm not a huge fan of Peeps or jelly beans

but everybody loves cupcakes!! 

It's looks a little labor intensive, I think it's a pretty cool outcome.

Anything look good to you?
