Banana + Eggs + Oatmeal

The natural sugars in the banana lends a dessert-like quality to this pancake recipe that gets extra moisture from the egg, and texture from oats. So

what are you waiting for? You no doubt have these items ready to go!

Nutella + Eggs + Flour

Nutella has not disappointed us yet, and how would now be any exception? Add Nutella to eggs and flour for the most decadent, and simple brownies

you've had in a while. Feel free to "ice" them with more Nutella. No judgement here! 

Sugar + Peanut Butter + Eggs

The sweet and savory favorite that keeps you coming back for more: the PB cookie. You can almost tell yourself this is heathy- after all,

it's at least 2/3 protein which will keep you full. This would actually be a great energizing pre-workout snack with the sugar and healthy fats from the peanuts.

Spanish Rice + Brown Sugar + Chipotle Sauce

In the mood for some sugar, spice and everything nice? Make this easy-peasy side dish with just spanish rice, and add more than a

lil flavor with some punchy brown sugar, and chipotle sauce for contrast and pizazz. 

Spinach + Eggs + Feta

Okay, so you can legitimately feel pretty darn healthy after this one. You'll get a healthy dose of iron from the spinach, protein packed into the

eggs, and some tangy cheesy flavor thanks to the feta. What more could you want on a lazy morning?

Mango + Greek Yogurt + Almond Milk

The perfect morning pick-me-up. Throw some frozen or fresh mango in the blender along with a milk and yogurt of your choice. It'll have

a sort of creamsicle vibe, mellowed out by the lack of citrus, emphasis on the creamy thanks to doubling up on the dairy, and dairy-like substances. 

Salmon + Lemon + Italian Seasoning

So this one's ambitious. Have some salmon lying around? (Hopefully not unrefrigerated!) Or maybe you have some frozen fillets. Whatever works! Grab a lemon,

or even some lemon juice, and take to your spice cabinet for the Italian herb seasoning mix, broil, and voila: a simple, yet anything-but-basic main dish.

Lasagna Noodles + Pasta Sauce + Ricotta Cheese

Flour + Shortening + Milk

And then there are the days when only a biscuit will suffice. Assuming you have milk, flour, and any sort of butter (staples that you arguably

should always have in excess, just-in-case) you can go to town on this simple, fool-proof recipe. 

Sweet potato + White beans + Tahini

A great not-too-heavy lunchtime option, puree some sweet potato with white beans and tahini for a mixture you can form into a patty. The

warm comfort food will ensure you feel full and satiated.
