Organic English Muffin Egg Sandwich

Most Important Yummy of the Day!


I saw this recipe and thought that I haven't made anything like that in a while and it was time to do it again. I was very happy that Ezekiel 4:9 makes English Muffins because I love their bread, and now I love their muffins too. Also, my favorite salsa is by Muir Glen. It has the best flavor of any salsa ever, in my opinion.

This is a great way to start the day off right, with plenty of protein and good stuff. It is also complimented nicely by my wheat grass mocha

Ingredients:

Organic English Muffins
2 Organic Cage Free Eggs
Organic Non Hormone Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Organic Avocado
Organic Salsa

Directions:


  1. Cook eggs however you like them
  2. Slice muffin and toast the two halves
  3. Put egg on muffin half
  4. Top with cheese
  5. Top with avocado
  6. Top with salsa


Organic English Muffin Pizza

Healthy, Quick & Yummy!



My daughter likes these little "pizzas" with just the sauce and cheese. I like to add avocado to the top. Very tasty, very healthy, very quick.

You can click on each ingredient for a link to each specific brand that I used. I really like the Muir Glen Cabernet Marinara sauce. I also use it for my eggplant recipe which I will post later this week. 

Ingredients:

Organic Spaghetti or Pizza Sauce 
Organic Non Hormone Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Optional Toppings

Directions:

  1. Heat oven to 325 F
  2. Slice muffins and spread the sauce on each half
  3. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top
  4. Add toppings of your choice that need to be heated
  5. Bake on a cookie sheet for about 5 minutes or until the cheese melts
  6. Remove from oven and add cold toppings such as avocado

Organic Cranberry Banana Swirl Ice Cream

Yummy!



I got a Ninja Blender and food processor set for an early Christmas present from my sweet husband. It rocks! Of course the first thing that we had to make was "banana swirl" because my daughter had seen them make on Daniel Tiger. Then, naturally, I had to add to it. ;)

Ingredients:

2 Organic Bananas
1/2 Cup Organic Whole Fresh Cranberries

Getting Ready:

Unpeel bananas, wrap them together in foil, and freeze overnight. 


Directions:

  1. Cut frozen bananas into chunks (about 1 inch) so that they blend easily
  2. Blend 
  3. Add cranberries and almond milk
  4. Blend

The more you blend the creamier it becomes. Depending on the size of your bananas and cranberries, you may need to adjust the amount of all three ingredients. It's easy to fix it to your liking. 

You can freeze the left overs and it will get fairly hard, but it thaws out well and tastes just as good as right after it's made.

Organic Southwest Quinoa Lettuce Wraps

A yummy meal my whole family will eat.


I made this because I needed to use up some things in the pantry. I looked at a few recipes and bought a few things to add to what I had and voila! a new recipe. It was so good, even my five year old ate all of it. And it has tons of protein and iron. 

This is a very versatile recipe that you can substitute or add to as you see fit, but it was pretty tasty like this and this will hopefully give you something to use as inspiration. 

Ingredients:

1 Cup Dry Organic Quinoa
1 Cup Dry Organic Brown Short Rice
1 lb. Beef - All Natural (no hormones) or Grass Fed
1 Can of Organic Black Beans
1 Bag of Organic Sweet Corn
Large Lettuce Leaves
Organic Salsa

Getting Ready:


  1. Boil rice according to directions in a separate pot - mine takes 50 minutes, so I start it first and then work on the other while it's cooking.
  2. Spread Quinoa out on a paper towel to check for any irregular looking hard pieces (it's not cool to get a mouthful of those), then rinse (although, honestly, I haven't figured out how to rinse such tiny things without losing half of it, so I just put it in the pan). Put in a medium sized sauce pan ( the quinoa expands greatly) and pour in the two cups of water. Bring to a slight boil and then simmer for 15-20 minutes. While simmering, follow directions 1 & 2 below.

Directions:

  1. Brown meat until fully cooked. I use some Worcestershire Sauce and add a little Mrs. Dash Garlic and Herb
  2. Add the black beans 
  3. If you got the steam in the bag corn, microwave it and then add to meat and beans
  4. Stir in desired amount of salsa
  5. Add in quinoa and rice
  6. Spoon into lettuce leaves

I used Butter Lettuce, but any large leaf will work.
