New Favorite Breakfast

Okay, so this didn't use any ingredients from the Bounty... buuuuuttttt it is so good I can't help but share it!


Breakfast Cookie (yes, that is correct, I said COOKIE)

Ingredients:
1 banana (I didn't have any ripe so I just used some cinnamon apple sauce)
1 egg white
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup rolled oats
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 T chocolate chips
dash of cinnamon (i didn't use this time because I had cinnamon in my apple sauce)
1 T creamy peanut butter

Directions:
In a microwave bowl, combine mashed banana (or applesauce) and egg white. Stir in the vanilla extract. Add oats, baking powder and cinnamon. Stir in the chocolate chips. Microwave for 1 minute 45 seconds. Spread the peanut butter on top and enjoy while warm.

I didn't get a picture of this lovely breakfast because I was so darn excited to try it. And I must say, it is SO SO SO delicious.

Creamy Alfredo w/ cherry tomatoes and asparagus

I was looking for something simple for dinner tonight. I grabbed bottled Alfredo sauce, Classico Red Pepper Alfredo, and some fettuccine noodles. I had some cherry tomatoes in the fridge from several weeks ago that were near the end of their life, so I thought they would make a great topping for the pasta. They did! I sliced the baguette and sprayed it with the balsamic spritz salad dressing.

1 jar Classico Red Pepper Alfredo
8 oz dry fettuccine
2 cups cherry tomatoes (BOUNTY)
1 bunch asparagus (BOUNTY)
1 french baguette

Cook pasta as directed & warm Alfredo sauce as directed. While pasta is cooking, slice cherry tomatoes in half and place in saucepan over medium heat. Saute until warm. Season with Italian pepper blend seasoning.

Trim ends off the asparagus and place in micro-steamer. Steam for 10 minutes until soft. Sprinkle with lemon juice.

Slice baguette into 1/2 inch slices. Dip in balsamic vinegar and olive oil or spritz with balsamic dressing.

Combine for a great meal!
