This would be a super fun dessert for a party too, and honestly I think any time of the year would be so cute! I steer away from the packaged rice krispies because let’s face it, they are not as good as the homemade ones! Plus, if you are single or have kids, you can have a lot of fun adding in the different type of sprinkles, food coloring or even heart shaped hot spiced hearts! I used to love those little spiced hearts when I was little! I used a heart shape cookie cutter here, but you could really use any shape that you saw fit! Add any color of sprinkles and you are on your way!

Now I like to go into each day with the mindset that it is ok to indulge in my favorite foods even if they are not “healthy,” and it is really all about balance.

Salad recipes are my favorite way to showcase vibrant, in-season produce, which consist of fruits and veggies that are so good on their own that you don’t need to do much to make them into a delicious meal. This is The Best Salad + Strawberries & Blueberries Citrus Vinaigrette. The perfect salad for any time honestly, spring and summer is my fav! When it gets a bit cooler out, I like to simply brighten up our dinner table with a colorful mix of veggies and hearty greens. On long summer days, when it’s warmer out, I’d rather be outside than in the kitchen, so making summer salads are the perfect solution. They are so simple to toss together and incredibly delicious.

The combination of uncooked rolled oats and oat milk in the batter helps develop this incredible flavor and texture. Natural sweetness comes from the bananas, so no sugar is needed! I absolutely love the flavor and smothered it with peanut butter after I toasted it a bit and it was so good!
