I absolutely love smoothies, and what is better than a fresh, fruit smoothie as the weather begins to warm?  Mangos are awesome and awesomely good for you, but extremely hard to serve.  Check this little recipe on making fresh mango smoothies!

So, French toast is one of my all time favorite breakfast meals.  However, I am not a huge fan of syrup.  I was staying at my mother's for a few days and (like me) she keeps very little in her fridge, so I had to get creative with my breakfast.  Fortunately, she had just enough of everything to make this great take on a classic breakfast time favorite.

Muesli with Fruit & Yogurt

Muesli

Thanks to some of the nicest people that I have met, in the world, I had the opportunity to try muesli. Not sure what muesli is? Well, according to MindBodyGreen, it is "typically a dry cereal made from toasted whole-oats, nuts, fruit and wheat flakes." Which pretty much sums it up. There are a number of great combinations that you can make with muesli in order to have an excellent breakfast, or snack.

White bean & Chicken Chili

One thing about being pregnant is that you are constantly struggling to get enough iron, and there are so many restrictions on what you can and can't eat.  Because of these restrictions, as well as an aversion to meat while pregnant, I virtually stopped eating meat.  I didn't want to take iron supplements and I sorely needed some protein.  This recipe that I got from a can of beans, with a few alterations, was really delicious.
