Breakfast Recipes for Busy Mornings

September 26, 2015 by Alexa [fooduzzi.com] 7 Comments

Ahh, Saturday morning.

Saturday morning is easily my favorite time of the week.

Waking up sans alarm clock, laying in bed until you decide to get up, lazily making a morning cup of tea…Saturday mornings are perfect.

My favorite part? Breakfast.

Not only am I totally convinced that breakfast food as a whole is completely unparalleled in the culinary world, but being able to take my time, sit down, and enjoy the start to my day with my incredible boyfriend?

I’m forever thankful for Saturday mornings.Read More

Sweet and Spicy Game Day Salsa

Who spent yesterday sitting on the couch in their comfy clothes, watching all of the football games, and eating their weight in glorious game day grub?!

*enthusiastically raises hand*

I love football season.

I feel like I’m legally obligated to love the game purely based on my Pittsburgh roots. Pittsburghers eat and breathe Steeler football. The city, with the exception of the bars and restaurants, pretty much shuts down in honor of the black and gold every single Sunday.

And while the game can be incredibly entertaining, I think we can all agree that sometimes the action on the field comes second to the delicious food that accompanies it.

I mean, come on. Fries, pizza, dips, chips…I’m convinced that the game of football is just an excuse to eat all the things.Read More

I don’t know about you, but I’m a huge fan of routines.

I always wake up at 6 AM. I always eat the same breakfast (well, unless this is on the menu). I always drink a cup of green tea in the morning. I always make Mark breakfast.

And, most importantly, we always go to Trader Joe’s on Saturdays.Read More

Happy Thursday, wonderful peeps!

We’re so close. SOOOOO close to a holiday weekend. That glorious fact makes me all kinds of happy. Sleeping in. Eating. Celebrating. It’s all a mere 2 days away.

We can do this.

I know a grocery trip (or two) are in your future in preparation for your delightful Labor Day plans. Or work week lunches. Or school-packing endeavors.

I don’t know about you, but I spend an incredible amount my week at grocery stores. I secretly love it, though. Perusing through all the aisles, picking out my favorite items to concoct my favorite meals, snacks, and desserts.

It’s better than Christmas.Read More
