Guava and Cheese

The Salty Donut which is based in Miami, Florida was named as one of the best donut shops in the U.S. by Thrillist. Their best donut is made of a 24-hour-raised brioche which is topped with both guava and cream cheese, covered in a cream cheese glaze, and topped with biscuit crumble. Certainly a weird combination of flavors and toppings, but consumers of the donut have described how delicious it tastes.

Pad Thai

The Rebel Donut shop in Albuquerque likes to decorate its donuts in creative and adventurous ways. One of their famous donuts is the Pad Thai donut. The donut is topped with peanut butter, sriracha, and coconut. It’s spicey and sweet and worth the trip.

Cereal

When have you ever walked into a donut store and suddenly had that craving for a bowl of your favorite cereal? Well, why not just add cereal as a topping for your donut? The crunch of your favorite cereal on top of a delicious donut is almost a guarantee to get your mouth salivating. Next time you’re making a batch of donuts, make sure to add your favorite cereal as a topping. You’ll be surprised at how scrumptious the donut turns out to be.

Veggies and Hummus

This one takes hardly any time at all! That’s unless you want to make your own hummus. Replace your chips and dip with a protein-rich hummus and a plate of carrots, celery, bell peppers, or cucumbers. This low-card option will make you feel full without the sleepiness that comes with heavy carbs.

Toast with Cottage Cheese and Cherry Tomatoes

This savory snack is quick, light, and tasty. Pop some wheat or wholegrain bread in the toaster, spread on some cottage cheese, slice some cherry tomatoes in half, add some pepper and other seasonings, and voilá! Another healthy and protein-rich treat to keep you full and focused.

Apple Slices and Peanut Butter

Does it actually get any easier than this? Slice up your favorite kind of apple and dip it in some chunky or smooth peanut butter. Looking to go slightly healthier than this? Grab some organic peanut butter instead. This snack will not only keep you feeling full and satisfied (thanks peanut butter), it might also keep the doctor away (thanks apples).

Having doubts? Freeze

If you don’t think that you’re going to eat those leftovers after two days, just freeze them. Most foods can be frozen without any problem and not only will freezing leftovers ensure that you won’t throw them in the trash, but it will also help you save money and have a guaranteed meal for when you’re tired and don’t want to cook.

Label the food

You’ll be surprised at how common it can be to forget when you put your leftover food in the freezer. You may be sure that the pizza you had the other night was put in the blue container, but when you open the freezer to see it filled with UFO’s (unidentified frozen objects), you realize you have to scrummage through the containers to find that pizza you were looking for. Label your leftovers with what it is and when it was cooked in order to save precious time and to just make it easier on yourself.

English Breakfast, which is also known as a “fry up” is not usually eaten every day, but rather, it is saved for weekends or bank holidays in Britain. Even though the dish has the word breakfast in it, it is usually consumed at around 11 AM for brunch

Now for the main discussion. What’s actually in an English Breakfast? 

Well, the main ingredients are sausages, eggs that are sunny side up or scrambled, buttered toast, some strips of bacon, the English classic that is baked beans, mushrooms, and hash browns which is basically a fried potato. There are of course other ingredients that can be included in an English Breakfast such as tomatoes and black pudding, but they can easily be removed without getting noticed.
