Ahoy maties!

I just got back from my first cruise with Carnival Cruises. This was a short 3 day cruise to Ensenada with some family and friends and I had a blast!

A big part of being on a cruise is the food. There are multiple dining halls and small cafes to get food at any hour of the day or night.

As a foodie, you would have thought this would be a dream! But not all the food is stellar and I even had a bad experience with one of the restaurants. So I thought this post would be a great way to list the best, and worst, foods I had while on this cruise.

Something You May Not Know About Me…

You may not know this, but I teach cooking classes! They are not the kinds of cooking classes where there is a set menu and 20 other strangers in a class. My cooking class is the kind where the menu is specially designed for you and your likes. I love to hear what you want to cook and make a menu just for you! The menu could be different ideas for lean proteins, or make ahead meals or even healthy dessert recipes! Whatever kind of food you’d like to cook, I’m here to guide you.

I recently did a cooking class with a couple of amazing women who wanted to cook some gluten free recipes for their families. The recipes had to be delicious, of course, but also things that their kids would love. Here’s the menu we came up with:

  • Mini Breakfast Quiches with an Almond Flour Crust
  • Veggie Chow Mein
  • Strawberry Shortcakes on Almond Flour Biscuits

Happy New Year!

Hey there 2019! Hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and New Years! Have you set some New Year’s resolutions? I have and I must say, 2019, I’m comin’ for ya! I have so many awesome things planned for 2019, but first, how about some breakfast?

The Perfect Breakfast Treat

My mother-in-law, daughter and I made these Zucchini Chocolate Chip muffins over the Christmas break for breakfast, and we loved them! Even my husband and father-in-law loved these muffins! They are so good when they are still warm, fresh out of the oven, with a little pat of butter. These muffins are light, flaky and I love seeing the little flecks of green from the zucchini in them. Plus, a few chocolate chips are always a good idea!

These muffins are not super sweet, which I think is perfect for breakfast time. Sometimes you just want a freshly baked goodie to go with your morning cup of tea or coffee.
