Okay, you all. I have another apple pie inspired recipe for you guys today! And yes, I am well aware that I just shared my Easy Apple Pie Trail Mix recipe with you all last week. ;) But you see, I have apple pie on the brain lately. 

I am totally craving the combo of sweet apples with cinnamon and sugar, but I am not quite ready to dive into full-on pie baking mode yet. Mostly because it still feels like summer here. Like in the 80's with some humidity. I definitely have no desire to kick on the oven and bake when I am still have to have the AC on pretty much all hours of the day. Where is the crisp fall weather at already?? Because I am SO ready for jeans and flannels, okay? 

Until the temperatures drop and it actually starts to feel like fall around here, I will satisfy my apple pie cravings without heating up the kitchen with this easy to make Apple Pie French Toast for One. This perfectly portioned for one french toast in a mug takes just a handful ingredients and a few minutes to make in your microwave...

One of my longtime favorite flavor combinations has always been peanut butter with banana. I love adding them both into smoothies or enjoying them together over toast for a quick snack. But I am here to tell you all that Jif has managed to take my peanut butter/banana obsession to a whole other level of peanut butter happy with their new Jif Cinnamon Peanut Butter. :) You heard me right, folks. Cinnamon + peanut butter + bananas= my new #peanutbutterhappy.

School mornings in our house are not your typical weekday mornings. My 17 year old son's start time to his day is considerably earlier than when my youngest needs to be up for preschool. And while I sometimes get up with him in the mornings, he is usually on his own to grab a quick breakfast and head down to catch the bus to school each day. Since we all have staggered start times to our days, finding hot breakfast solutions that can work for both my kiddos during the school week can be challenging.

Thus, I am always on the look out for convenient breakfast ideas that both my teenage son and my preschool daughter can agree on and that I can get on the breakfast table quickly with little fuss. Not only do these breakfasts need to be quick and easy, they also need to be hearty and filling to fuel my both of my kids on through to lunch. That is why I was practically jumping for joy when I discovered these protein-packed Jimmy Dean® Sausage Bowls, Jimmy Dean® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Croissants, and Jimmy Dean® Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuits at my local Walmart last week... :)
