HAPPY THING NO. 1 | EASY YOGURT PARFAIT RECIPE
Packed with 24 grams of protein, this Easy Yogurt Parfait Recipe is a delicious, and filling way to start the day! I made this version last week with end-of-summer nectarines, but feel free to substitute your favorite fresh, in-season fruit, or any equally nutritious frozen fruit. My yogurt parfait recipe uses Greek Yogurt, but this would be equally delicious with non-dairy or lactose free yogurt. The spices are key, IMO, but you can easily substitute the pine nuts with your favorite nuts or seeds. Enjoy!

HAPPY THING NO. 2 | A STRAWBERRYLICIOUS BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

HAPPY THING NO. 4 | DINNER IN A HURRY! EASY LENTIL NACHOS
EASY ITALIAN LENTIL NACHOS: Preheat oven to 350 ° F. Combine Cooked Lentils {I love Trader Joe’s ready-to-eat lentils OR cooking a big batch of lentils ahead of time and freezing them} with a jar of Marinara Sauce in a mixing bowl. Spread Tortilla Chips on a baking sheet. Spread lentil mixture on top + a combo of Mozzarella & Parmesan Cheese. Bake for ~15 minutes, or until cheese is melted. Dig in, add some fresh fruit on the side, and dinner is served!
HAPPY THING NO. 5 | FABULOUS FALL HARVEST BREAKFAST FOR TWO GIVEAWAY
A couple of weekends ago {pre-new puppy days!} I was enjoying, what I consider, a perfect weekend morning. Relaxing on the couch with a mug of steaming hot coffee in hand, Quick and Easy Skillet Buckwheat Banana Bread baking in the oven, and browsing through the latest Sur la Table catalogue {where I fell in LOVE w/ this Jacques Pepin handcrafted ceramics collection} and my RD pal Katie Morford Sullivan’s gorgeous new cookbook, Rise & Shine.
