A Fresh Start
Hello everyone! I finally decided to make a recipe blog after over 10 years of not posting my creations. I used to have a WordPress blog in 2014/2015 where I posted recipes. Over the past year I have *gasp* actually learned to cook beyond blenders and stir fry, as well as regained my love for baking. This blog will include all my recipes, including "secret menus" for coffee shops. I hope you enjoy!

Protein Iced Coffee
You will need: - 4-6 oz cold brew (I used StoK espresso blend here) - Protein shake (my fave is Premier Cafe Latte) - Ice - Cold foam (I used Favorite Day Sweet Cream)
Pour cold brew and protein shake (about half will fit) over ice. Stir well. Top with cold foam. When you run out of coffee, pour the rest of your protein shake over the ice!

Peanut Noodles
You will need: - 3 large carrots - 3 large mushrooms - 1 box rice noodles - 1 lb ground turkey OR pork (can use beef just make it spicy!) - Soy sauce - 4 tbsp peanut butter - Spices: curry powder, cinnamon, roasted garlic & herb mix (includes garlic powder, onion powder, coriander, salt, pepper, mustard) - Optional toppings: chopped peanuts, crushed red pepper, sweet chili sauce
1) Spray cooking spray in a large frying pan. Brown meat on medium high (6-7) heat. 2) While meat cooks, julienne carrots. This takes a disturbingly long amount of time. 3) When meat is browned, add carrots and spices. Reduce heat to medium low (3). 4) Boil rice noodles in a pot of water. If it overflows, reduce heat (8). 5) Slice mushrooms and add to pan. Add soy sauce to taste (I used about 6 tbsp). 6) Add rice noodles and some water (about 1/2 cup) to pan. 7) Add peanut butter and stir. Turn off heat. 8) Serve with optional toppings if desired.

Eggs & Avocado Toast - full video on YouTube!
This is my fave easy meal to make and has a great amount of protein. You can also add the eggs to your toast or make into a sandwich!
Ingredients 2 slices Ezekiel bread 1 avocado 2 eggs 1/2 cup spinach Garlic salt or garlic powder Salt, pepper to taste
1. Heat up a skillet (4-5/200°) with 1 tsp oil/butter/vegan butter. Melt and spread evenly on pan. 2. Place bread in pan & toast both sides. (You can also use a toaster! I just didn't have one at the time.) 3. Remove toast & set aside. Crack eggs & cook to preference (I do scrambled). 4. While eggs cook, slice avocado in half & spread evenly on toast. Season to taste, then top with spinach. 5. Plate eggs with toast. Season to taste & enjoy!

At-Home Iced Coffee
This is a simple recipe designed to satisfy that Starbs craving while saving money. All you need is creamer ($3-$7), instant coffee ($1-$5), whipped topping or cold foam ($3-$5), water, and ice cubes. I can get about 10 10oz coffees from one small container of creamer, which means each coffee is only $1.70!
Ingredients 3 tsp instant coffee or espresso (I use Cafe Bustelo) 2 oz water 5 tsp creamer (I use Silk Oat milk creamer - try "Oatmeal Cookie"!) Ice cubes Whipped topping (can)
Add instant coffee and water to a glass and stir.
Add creamer, then stir or use frother to mix. My frother was only $10!
Add ice cubes as desired.
Top with a canned whipped topping or canned cold foam. Enjoy before the ice melts!
ADAPTATION: Make the drink per steps 1-3, then pour into a blender to create a frapp. Add whip or cold foam on top.

Fruit Rollup (Literally)
This is basically a burrito PB&J. I added fruit because hello, it's summer! It was so hot yesterday (90°F/32°C) and this was the perfect treat.
Ingredients 2 flour tortillas (sub gluten free if you like) 5 tbsp creamy peanut butter 3 tbsp strawberry jam (my favorite flavor) 1 banana 2 strawberries (more if they're small)
Spread peanut butter on tortillas, then microwave 10-15 seconds. The peanut butter will soften and the tortillas will be easier to roll.
Spread jam on top of peanut butter.
Slice up bananas and strawberries.
Spread fruit pieces evenly across tortillas.
Roll up like a burrito and serve. You can also roll leaving the ends open and slice into pinwheels!

Garlic Bacon Avocado Burgers
Another recipe made from trying to use up some avocado and bacon! I always put avocado on my burgers if I can. If you have mushrooms, heating them in a skillet with soy sauce is another great topper!
Ingredients 2 85% ground beef patties Himalayan pink salt Ground black pepper Rufus Teague Fixed Up This Rub 2 bacon strips 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese 1 medium avocado
Serve with ketchup, mustard, pickles to taste
Heat up a skillet with 1 tsp oil or bacon grease.

Cheesy Bacon Jalepeño Burgers
This recipe was born, as all great recipes are, from trying to use up something in the fridge. In this case it was jalepeños and bacon. I decided to throw them on our burgers tonight and it was amazing!
Ingredients 2 85% ground beef patties Himalayan pink salt Ground black pepper Rufus Teague Fixed Up This Rub 2 bacon strips 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese 6 slices pickled jalepenos
Serve with ketchup, mustard, pickles to taste

Good Oats
This is the recipe my friend gave me, mentioned on my "About" page. This is hands down the best oatmeal I have ever tried - and I have tried a LOT of oatmeal. The texture is best on the stove. I tried microwaving it once - never again.
Ingredients 1 cup instant oats 10 oz water 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter 4 tsp brown sugar 1/2 cup raisins
1. Add oats to a pot. Add water. 2. Place on stove on medium high heat (7). 3. Add brown sugar and stir in. 4. Add peanut butter and continue stirring occasionally (the peanut butter will take longer to melt). 5. When the desired consistency is reached, remove from heat and stir in raisins. Pour into bowls and serve.
Note: Add more water for a thinner oatmeal, or less for a thick oatmeal. Do not use less water than the equivalent amount of oats, as they will burn.

Homemade Acai Smoothie
My favorite place to get protein shakes has several acai options. They are about $10-$12 so I decided to make some at home! This recipe is easy, you only need a blender or stick mixer and about 10 minutes!
Ingredients 1 frozen acai bowl (Sams Club has them in 4 packs for $12 - the price of ONE shake from my fave spot!) or equivalent 8 oz product 2 scoops protein (the first time I made this I only used one - turns out the serving size is 2! I use Vega) 4 oz water or milk of choice (I used soy) Honey to taste Optional: Use acai bowl toppings (if included) to top
1. Put acai aside to thaw slightly. 2. Add protein powder to blender first, so it doesn't stick. 3. Add half of water/milk to blender. 4. Add acai and blend. 5. Add extra water/milk until desired thickness. Blend again. 6. Add honey on top. Pour into glass and serve.
ALTERNATIVE: Mix in the same order in a bowl using a stick mixer.

Homemade Dunn Bros Egg Wrap
This is my take on my favorite order from Dunn Bros Coffee! It is about $11 to order, but only $3 to make at home (by weight). This easy breakfast takes 20 minutes to prep, and can be prepped in bulk for a 4 day supply.
Ingredients 16 oz Ground Meat of choice (I used turkey here) 4 eggs (farm fresh is best!) 2 avocados 1 cup salsa (black bean and corn is my personal fave) 4 Wraps OPTIONAL: Greens (bowl option) Spices: garlic, onion, cumin, salt, pepper to taste
1. Brown meat on stove over medium high heat (7) until no pink remains. 2. Remove meat from heat & set aside. 3. Scramble eggs in same pan - the grease keeps them from sticking. 4. Turn off heat when eggs are almost done (still a tiny bit runny/gelly). The residuak heat will cook them the rest of the way. 5. Cut avocado in half & scoop out half onto a wrap. Spread evenly. 6. Add meat and eggs to wrap. 7. Add salsa on top or on the side to taste.
Bowl option (low carb): Add greens, meat, egg, avocado, and salsa to a large bowl and combine.
STORAGE: Store meat and eggs together in container in fridge. Leave avocados, greens, and wraps closed/covered until ready to eat.
REHEAT: Use stovetop or microwave to reheat eggs/sausage. Warm up wraps for about 15 seconds in microwave to avoid tearing.

My favorite secret menu item: PB Cookie Frapp
An employee at a Barnes & Noble Starbucks created this for me in 2013. NOTE: Only an option at a B&N Starbs.
Ask for: Venti vanilla bean creme frapp, with almond milk and no whip. Then order a peanut butter cookie and ask them to blend it into the frapp. This is the BEST peanut butter drink you will ever taste, hands down. Thank me later!
