Hi, I am Allison, the other newbie on the block. I absolutely love food and fitness, and I look forward to sharing my knowledge, passion and adventures with you each week. And we’re off…
Every morning, I wake up, eat a small breakfast (cereal and fruit), workout and eat another breakfast (oatmeal, fruit, juice). There are those who don’t eat or like breakfast, but I treat myself to 2 breakfasts every morning - definitely my most important meal of the day.

I have a confession to make. I’m not Jewish. But I do love Jewish foods like bagels, cream cheese and matzo ball soup. I’d never attempt to make bagels at home, since we have some of the best one’s in the world right here in Chicago. Same goes for corned beef sandwiches and brisket. But I’ve yet to find the perfect kugel recipe. So this weekend I decided to give it a try with the help of my kids.

I hope you had a great breakfast full of oatmeal goodness. If not, there’s always tomorrow because National Oatmeal Day is really just a reminder to eat our oats! They’re good for us! To celebrate, I put together a collection of oatmeal recipes for straight up oatmeal, oatmeal cookies, oatmeal bread and even beauty products we can all make from oatmeal! Enjoy!

I used to think these raspberry banana pancakes were good but friends, I’ve found a pancake recipe that’s even better. Actually I shouldn’t take credit, my sister in law was the recipe finder and she made chocolate chip strawberry pancakes for dinner one of the nights while I was visiting. One bite of the perfectly cakey pancakes (pan cakes are supposed to be cakey not floppy!) and I immediately erased all other pancake recipes from my memory.

Let’s start with breakfast. You have probably seen steel cut oats here and there, maybe you’ve read about them on your favorite food site or seen them on a shelf in your local grocery store. Whatever the case, this steel cut oat health trend is the real deal. Steel cut oatmeal makes a healthy and hearty breakfast, touting more nutrition and taste than your average packet of instant oatmeal. And even though they take much longer to make, the resulting bowl of creamy hearty oatmeal is worth every minute.

For Mother’s Day I knew I wanted to cook my mom brunch. She cooks for us so often that it was the least I could have done. Instead of rattling out my own menu, I asked what she wanted. Her response: crepes. I was quickly overwhelmed. “Crepes!?” I said. “But I’ve never made crepes before.” My mom insists they’re easy to make, adding even more pressure to the situation. But as it turns out…
