I just adore fruit. I get especially excited when the summer months begin to approach because it means watermelon and other melons will be in season!
I spent all morning cutting up fruit. The cantaloupe and honeydew are absolutely ripe to perfection.
Then because I had melon that didnt fit neatly into that container I decided to make fruit salad.
I really have to say that taking the time to prep fruit (or veggies) is so worth it. Being able to open the fridge and see containers filled with gorgeous colors really is so appealing.
I love to get the most bang for my buck. Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll tell you I never settle. Whether it’s getting the most I can for my money, or the most I can for my calories (some days that means the most bulk for the least calories and it always means the most nutrition I can in ever meal) - I always aim for the most impact with the least output. So my goal with this blog is to pass on my tips and finds for saving money and calories one day at a time.

Yummy Lunch
The end of my senior semester at school is killing me (along with planning my wedding!). so today I finally took the time to prepare myself a healthy lunch instead of making excuses to let myself eat unhealthy.
I can't wait to eat it later! The lunch includes leftover roasted chicken breast from dinner last night, some thinly sliced carrots, some sliced strawberries and a medium tangerine. Yummy!

Muffinless Egg McMuffin
I suppose trying to make a mock Egg McMuffin without any muffin sounds impossible, but let me tell you it definitely isn't impossible! All the texture and flavor with a fraction of the calories, fraction of the cost and almost no carbs!
I scrambled 3 egg whites (you could also use whole eggs if you prefer), then topped it with one slice of Kraft 2% Sharp Cheddar sliced cheese and added one MorningStar Farms Vegetarian sausage patty on top.
It was a little bit of heaven on a plate. The morning-star farms sausage are better than the real thing, the Kraft cheese is Ooey gooey and melty and when you eat them all together you will not miss the bread I promise you!
