French Toast Bar

I love a good brunch. A few times a year while growing up we would pack the family in the car and have brunch with my grandparents at the local country club. It was always a special treat to get dressed up and indulge my sweet tooth with a plate of french toast dippers.

I still love the concept of brunch. I mean, we all can agree that breakfast food is the best. Right?! Now add friends and family to the equation and you have a winning combination.

For those days where you would rather avoid the after church brunch rush try making a french toast bar at home! Gather up your favorite toppings and enjoy mixing and matching flavors. My favorite combination was berries and walnuts! YUM!

Protein Balls

Guys, this is my fourth batch of these chocolate chip protein balls! They help curb my sugar cravings and keep me away from our snack drawer. So I would say that is a win!

I love that they are portable and can easily be thrown in your purse. They may save you from letting your hunger talk you into buying a Cinnabon or a grande s’more frappacino. Thanks for that temptation, Starbucks…

Friday Favorites

I admit, I have been slacking with my Friday Favorites post lately. It isn’t because I haven’t had anything to share, it’s because we have booked solid. The majority of the year we scour local listings for things to do, but during the summer you just have to walk a few blocks to find an event. From farmer’s markets to outdoor concerts, we could be at an event every night if we had the time. This week we dropped by a music fest and ate a picnic dinner by the lake.

What summer events are you enjoying?
