These Strawberry Oatmeal Vegan Breakfast Bars were a big hit with my family and the ladies at my Mom’s work. The best part is that they are a convenient and nutritious breakfast option. I need easy breakfast because as many of you know, I am NOT a morning person! That is why I love grab and go breakfasts. Not because I am running out of the house first thing in the morning but because I am super lazy before my first cup of coffee.

These breakfast bars are fantastic with your cup of morning coffee.

It took me a few tries to get the consistency of the oatmeal bars right. I wanted slightly chewy without being overly moist. These are it! Firm enough to stay together but not hard as a rock. They are between the texture of a granola bar and an oatmeal cookie.

Mix up the oatmeal bar ingredients, slather on that luscious strawberry mixture then bake. Super simple and delicious!

Cut them into squares or bars and serve as a breakfast or snack. With school right around the corner, these bars will be great for packing lunches!

And they look really pretty too. I personally don’t mind eating ugly food. So the fact that these Strawberry Oatmeal Vegan Breakfast Bars are gorgeous is just a bonus❤️

If you want something that looks impressive but is secretly simple, smoked salmon puff pastry is your best friend. With buttery layers, creamy filling, and rich salmon flavor, this recipe works for brunch, appetizers, or even a light dinner.

I had the amazing opportunity to attend a fabulous backyard party that featured recipes that used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry. (check out the photos below) It was perfect party food because everything was so easy to eat with my hands.

I decided to create a puff pastry appetizer inspired by one of my favorite breakfasts. I adore a simple bagel with cream cheese, lox, lemon and capers. I used puff pastry instead of bagels, swapped the lox for smoked salmon and added fresh dill.

Perfect as an appetizer or breakfast!

What To Serve With Smoked Salmon Puff Pastry: Italian Garden Salad, Onion Dill Cucumber Salad, Vegetable Soup.

Here is the group of lovely bloggers that I got to spend a morning with. Great conversation, delicious food and a gorgeous home. It was an awesome party!

I’m always blown away by a gorgeous table setting. Decorating in any way, shape or form is not one of my skills. So I am always really impressed when I see a beautifully put together table setting, like the one at this party.

Tips for Smoked Salmon Puff Pastry

• Keep puff pastry cold—this ensures maximum flakiness
• Add more toppings to fit your preferences
• Use high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor
• Add capers, thinly sliced red onion, thinly sliced cucumbers or fresh dill for extra flavor

Deviled eggs are a timeless appetizer – creamy, tangy, and endlessly customizable. Whether you’re prepping for brunch, a holiday spread, or a quick snack, these recipes will give you foolproof results plus flavorful variations to impress any crowd.

Maybe it’s after Easter and you have a boat load of hard boiled eggs to deal with. Maybe you need some show-stopping interesting appetizers for a party or get-together. Maybe you’re just craving deviled eggs.

Whatever your reason, these recipes are just what you need. No plain mayo and egg recipes here. These eggs have personality, flavor and are just. . .extra!

You need to get your eggs perfectly boiled first. I have used this Martha Stewart Boiled Egg method for years. The only trick I have found for easy peel eggs that actually works is to peel the eggs immediately once they are cool enough to handle.

Deviled eggs are simple yet elegant, making them a must-have recipe for any occasion. Start with the classic version, then experiment with bold flavors like avocado, bacon, or spicy sriracha. Once you master the base, the variations are endless.

Why Veggie and Bean Toast Works

The beauty of this dish lies in its balance. Beans deliver plant protein and slow-digesting carbohydrates, keeping you full for hours. Meanwhile, vegetables add crunch, color, antioxidants, and essential vitamins. While the avocado adds healthy fats.

Variations to Try

• Mediterranean: white beans, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, feta, oregano.
• Mexican-inspired: black beans, corn, salsa, cilantro, lime, avocado.
• Protein-boosted: add a fried or poached egg on top.
• Spicy: incorporate jalapeños, chili flakes, or hot sauce.
• Roasted veggie version: use warm roasted zucchini, carrots, or eggplant for a heartier option.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Fast: ready in under 20 minutes.
• Nutritious: high in fiber, protein, and plant nutrients.
• Customizable: works with whatever veggies and beans you have.
• Versatile: perfect for any meal of the day.
• Budget-friendly: uses cheap pantry and produce staples.

What Is a Christmas Cheese Ball Wreath?

A cheese ball wreath is a creative twist on the classic cheese ball. Instead of one large ball, the cheese mixture is shaped into a ring to look like a holiday wreath. Decorated with fresh parsley and chopped red bell peppers.

Ingredients needed for Cheese Ball Wreath:

• Cream Cheese
• Cheddar Cheese

Fresh Zucchini Fritters

Who has a ton of overgrown garden zucchini to use up? Zucchini Fritters are quick, customizable, and absolutely delicious. Whether you’re serving them as a snack, a side, or the main event, these fritters are sure to be a hit at your table.

Tips for Perfect Fritters

• Don’t skip the draining step — wet zucchini makes soggy fritters. Try to squeeze as much as possible liquid out of zucchini, this will ensure the fritters are not soggy and crisp.
• You can also add 1 teaspoon of baking powder to make them slightly thicker and even more crisp but it is not essential.
• Smaller fritters cook better and crispier than thicker ones. 1 tablespoon makes one small crispy fritter.

Equipment

• Knives

Ingredients

• 2 cups zucchini grated with skin on
• 1 cup corn cooked corn kernels (thoroughly drained)
• 2 large eggs
• ½ cups all purpose flour
• 1 up cheddar mild or sharp, grated
• 1 medium garlic clove minced
• ¼ cups green onions or chives chopped
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• ½ teaspoon sweet paprika
• ¼ teaspoon cumin
• ½ teaspoon seasoned salt

Instructions

• Grate the zucchini and transfer to a fine mesh strainer. Season with salt and let stand for 15-30minutes. Remove the liquid (as much as possible) by squeezing it out with hands or cheesecloth (or linen cloth does the job very well).
• Transfer zucchini to a large bowl and add all the rest ingredients. Mix to combine with a spatula.
• Heat a little cooking oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add about 1 heaping tablespoon of batter to the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown. If you want more uniform shapes, spread out the batter quickly with the back of the spoon and even out the edges into round shape.
• Cook fritters in batches and keep warm in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit until ready to serve.
• Serve warm with parsley or green onions, sour cream or ketchup.

Grab your favorite cheeses and meats, and get ready to build a bird worth gobbling up!

Turkey Charcuterie Board Tips

• Work in symmetry: Even layering on each side makes the “feathers” look fuller and more turkey-like.
• Cut cheese into various shapes: Cubes, slices, and wedges add visual variety.
• Keep it fresh: Assemble close to serving time or refrigerate if prepping ahead.
• Serve Fresh Fruit: on the side or on the board such as fresh berries, grapes, clementines, or pomegranate seeds.
• Sliced Veggies: such as carrots, cucumber, and bell peppers are some other great options to include if desired.
• Turkey Eyes: Instead of candy eyes – use peppercorns, cloves, chocolate chips, or even black icing. Use a sliced piece of cheese cut to make a beak.
• Herbs: Fresh herbs such as rosemary or sage can be used to help fill any gaps.

Why This Snack Board Will Be A Hit

• Kid-friendly: Fun visuals encourage even picky eaters to snack.
• Instagram-worthy: This board is a photo-op waiting to happen. Show-stopper!
• Customizable: You can easily adapt ingredients for dietary needs.

Prep Time 10 minutes minutes

Calories 198kcal

Author Nicole Harris

Equipment

• Knives

Ingredients

• Assorted sliced salami
• Prosciutto wrapped mozzarella sticks sliced into thirds
• Assorted cheese slices
• 8 ounce block Colby and Monterey Jack cut into ½-inch cubes
• 8 ounce block Pepperjack cut into ½-inch cubes
• Assorted round crackers
• Square crackers
• 7 ounce jar stuffed manzanilla olives
• 1 apple cut in half, for the turkey body
• ½ cup whole almonds
• 2 piece pecan halves for the turkey feet
• 2 candy eyeballs for the turkey eyes (optional)
• Red and black grapes

Instructions

• Place the halved apple or pear towards the bottom of the board in the center to make the turkey’s body. Leave a little space underneath to place the pecan halves for the feet.
• Place down the cracker layer – fan it out into a rainbow over the turkey.
• Next, fan out the salami layers and have it slightly overlapping the cracker layer.
• Add the cheese halfway on top of the sliced salami. You can use the cubed cheeses for one layer and the sliced cheeses for another layer.
• Add the prosciutto wrapped mozzarella towards the top of the board.
• Surround the turkey with whole almonds for the “feathers”.
• Place more crackers to fill in the gaps on the sides of the prosciutto and then layer with more cheese slices on top.
• Add olives on top, going across the board. You can also place it in other areas to fill any gaps as needed.
• If giving the turkey eyes, add them now. I used candy eyes. You can make a little indent and nestle them in. You can also melt a little white chocolate and dab just a bit to help “glue” it in place.
• Adjust the board and add more crackers, salami, cheese, olives, or nuts where needed to even it out. Arrange any fruits and herbs to fill spaces.
  

Notes

How much meat/cheese you need to buy will depend on the size board you use. I suggest purchasing extra to refill the board as needed.
