My sister‘s boyfriend Dan‘s sister and her fiance came for a visit from Brasil and it would be our first time meeting them
* aren’t they the cutest couple ever?! they were smiles the whole time!
I decided that since brunch food was on the menu I would contribute and try to attempt a clean eating muffin recipe. One of Janetha’s actually….one that she guest posted on my blog.
NOTE TO SELF: do not substitute vanilla protein powder for chocolate protein powder and then try adding cinnamon to cover the taste AND then grab the cumin by accident and toss mass amounts of it into a peach muffin recipe. EPIC FAIL <—- my worse to date.
I’ve surprisingly eaten about 3 muffins – I’m not a waster. They’re moist with a cumin and cinnamon overdoes after taste
—————————————
Once at my moms we got to meet Vicky and Lucas and we all had a great time
I really liked them.
* note the placement of Dan’s mug over his sister’s chest
lol
Nic made the French toast!
I smothered mine in natural maple syrup and grabbed every ounce of fruit I could fit on my plate. I also treated myself to some bacon because it had been far too long since I last had it
The afternoon was filled with such awesome family time that I don’t want to bore you to death with hundreds of photos. I do however, want to show you Lucas’ shirt and how awesome it is
*it’s the title of this post!
So true. I’m glad to be surrounded by such amazing people in my life and in this blog world
Thank YOU! #SpreadTheLove
Oops we forgot to add some Logan….

Questions:
1. favourite “brunch” food??
I will always love eggs benedict! YUM but french toast is a close second.
2. what’s your number one food fail?? please tell me I’m not the only one who rushes through recipes and ruins them
I also made cauliflower bread sticks (recipe to follow) and I screwed it up too. Don’t worry I’ll post the recipe MINUS my failure and it’ll taste amazing – promise
3. do you wear shirts with quotes/words on them?? what does your favourite one say??
My only shirt with words on it happens to be my favourite worded shirt and it says “Make It Stop” I love wearing it on days when that’s applicable to everything
4. do you have a good support system??







oh my gosh I am the same way, I will burn popcorn and still eat it. I refuse to waste food.
Once upon a time I was making a pasta salad. All went well till I added the chocolate mini-chips. Before the pasta had totally cooled down. It tasted fine, as long as you were eating blindfolded.
My favourite brunch food is what someone else cooks.
chocolate chips in pasta salad??? this seems weird to me? I don’t know why….I love both. I’m trying it
Yes, they are the cutest couple ever! I love shirts with quotes:) This is my favorite shirt quote:
“New pair of running shoes: $100
Race entry fee: $75
Crossing the finish line before my man: Priceless!”
So true, so true:)
Glad you are having great family time:)
HAHA that’s an awesome shirt
I want one
Eggs Benedict is my favorite too. I have an excellent french toast casserole that I must send to you some time. I’m a food waster – wah – Peter doesnt like that about me
I waste some food….but lately I’ve been trying to learn to portion for leftovers properly and eat things that are going to go bad first
looks like fun!
number 1 fail…ha-have them all the time-can’t remember!
sounds like me as of late
we’ll get it one day
I usually have a daily food fail. I’m always making up recipes to use up the food in the fridge. Not the best way to make things turn out tasty.:)
haha! I bet sometimes you figure out some awesome combinations you never thought of though
1. Bacon and eggs
2. Pound cake that I used the wrong type of flour because I forgot to label my canisters
3. I used to wear shirts with quotes but it’s been awhile
4. I’m a little biased but I believe I have the best support system!
Precious picture of Logan as usual!
I love bacon and eggs
the classic breakfast so yummy. and I’m so happy you have a good support system. I think that’s the most important thing anyone can ever have…..other than self-love
What a great quote! I rarely wear quote shirts. I think I used to in high school and college.
I love brunch foods, french toast, coffee cake, scrambled eggs and bacon. MMM now I am hungry!
Christy – I think you accurately described who should be wearing quoted T’s
the teens….lol
I am so hungry just reading this comment.
wow Logan looks like Grandma
Thanks
that’s my mom ;P she’ll LOVE to hear that
Your family is the best!
LOVE eggs benedict!!!! There is a restaurant in our town that makes the best eggs benedict ever!
Love that shirt! Did he make it? I don’t think I have any like that. :/
Well the muffins look good at least!
Thanks
Vicky and Lucas were so cool. Plus Lucas doesn’t speak much English so he would yell out “closed caption” whenever he wanted a translation
LOL
He didn’t make it but coincidentally his mom is a fashion designer and he works in the fashion industry
My sister is the queen of food fails! She once made cookies without the baking soda….they looked and tasted awful. Even the dog wouldn’t eat them! I’m a huge corned beef hash lover when we go out to eat breakfast….like lick my plate!
Nancy I have never even heard of corn beef hash….I am coming to visit so we can lick our plates clean of this goodness you speak of
Those muffins sure look good though!
Brunch and breakfast food is my favorite! I love french toast and hash browns. I could eat my body weight in hash browns.
Don’t they?? every time I’d look at them I’d want to eat one….they were moist and amazing …until you bit into them and tasted cumin ;P lol
MMMM me too! I love hashbrowns.
