<\/h3>\n

Breakfast and Brunch<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/h3>\n

1. Strawberry Baked Pancakes<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Fluffy, sweet baked strawberry pancakes for a simple recipe that\u2019ll feed the whole fam in the morning while putting a smile on their faces!

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

2. Cottage Cheese Breakfast Cups<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I almost decided to put these in the treats section because they\u2019re so tasty! But they make a beautiful breakfast that you can alter for your family\u2019s tastes. Also, cottage cheese is low in calories and fat, high in protein, packed with calcium, and full of nutrients!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

3. Mini Lemon-Blueberry Pancake Skewers\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

These little pancake skewers are crazy easy to assemble, completely delicious, and full of antioxidants. Not to mention, they\u2019ll brighten up your Mother\u2019s Day brunch table! Just set out a big, beautiful platter and enjoy!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

4. Pi\u00f1a Colada Overnight Oats<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

All the tastes of pi\u00f1a coladas but without the unnecessary sugar and instead being a very nutritious and satisfying breakfast idea full of protein. Fresh pineapple combined with coconut creates a refreshing island favorite flavor! If you love these overnight oats, you can find many <\/span>similar ideas here<\/span><\/a>!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re like me and love savory breakfasts, then you\u2019ll definitely want to try this one! This one is extra perfect thanks to the high protein, complex carbohydrates (energy!), and the fabulous Mexican-inspired flavors happening here.<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Finger Foods<\/b><\/h2>\n

<\/h3>\n

6. Homemade (copycat) Aussie Bites<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Aussie bites are always hit in my hours and make the PERFECT snack, finger food, or appetizer. These are completely packed with energy through complex carbohydrates and healthy fats, along with an impressive amount of fiber! Not to mention, they\u2019re delicious.<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

7. Crispy Smashed Broccoli<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Flavorful and simple, it is absolutely the best broccoli ever! That crispy coating makes them incredibly enjoyable with the perfect flavor and texture combination. Not to mention, broccoli is packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants necessary for overall health!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

8. Tuna Cucumber Boats<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

These boats are some of my favorite finger foods for gatherings with families and friends. They\u2019re fresh, light, hydrating, and present beautifully at a Mother\u2019s Day Brunch or really any party, like a baby shower or summer BBQ.<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"Wild<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Lunch or Dinner<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/h3>\n

11. Peanut Chicken Lettuce Wraps<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

This flavor combination is <\/span>incredible<\/span><\/i> with creamy peanut butter, tangy fresh lime, salty aminos, umami saut\u00e9ed mushrooms, a bit of heat from the hot sauce, and a touch of sweetness from the honey. Every taste bud you have will thank you!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

12. Balsamic Salmon Sheet Pan<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Something about a fresh balsamic meal like this seems perfect for a Mother\u2019s Day meal! This one is really good, and it has tons of flavors thanks to the quick homemade marinade. And as a one-sheet meal, it\u2019s pretty simple and comes with minimal cleanup.<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

13. Chicken Ranch Spaghetti Squash<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rich, indulgent ranch and crispy chicken pieces make this a fantastic meal. We get extra fiber and nutrients thanks to this incredible noodly squash. Chicken and Greek yogurt are also excellent sources of protein!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

14. Spaghetti Squash Lasagna Casserole<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you love Spaghetti Squash and Lasagna, then this is the recipe for you! It\u2019s exceptionally satisfying and comforting, as most hot casseroles topped with melty cheese are. I\u2019m so excited for you to try this, and can\u2019t wait to hear how your family likes it!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

15. Twice Baked Stuffed Sweet Potatoes with Bacon and Eggs<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

A bit more hands-on but simple prep goes into making these\u2026 so they\u2019re definitely a weekend project. The combination of flavors is stunning!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

16. Berry Tart<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Breakfast or dessert? Could go either way! This berry tart is energy fuel, a refreshing meal that’s pretty enough to serve your guests for a party or special brunch but simple enough to make on the weekends for the family!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

17. Clean Eating Chocolate Chip Blender Banana Bread<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Delightful and decadent, this bread is an excellent treat and simple enough to be a quick breakfast idea if that\u2019s what you prefer. You get plenty of potassium from the bananas, and the chocolate will satisfy your sweet tooth.<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

18. Chocolate Almond No-Bake Truffles<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

19. Yogurt Berry Cake<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

I couldn\u2019t resist including this yogurt berry cake on the list! Naturally sweetened with a delicious, nutty, crisp-crumb topping, then served with fresh berries and a dollop of yogurt or whipped coconut cream. <\/span><\/h3>\n

It\u2019s perfect to make when you\u2019re going to have a bigger group to feed, and you want it to be beautiful and impressive \u2013 like a holiday weekend!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

20. No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n

We\u2019re ending on a high note here! If you want to really impress, make this No Bake Strawberry Cheesecake. It takes a bit more time, but <\/span>trust me<\/span><\/i>, it\u2019s worth it. It tastes almost exactly like regular cheesecake, but it\u2019s much healthier, and everyone will feel much better afterward.<\/span><\/h3>\n
