Another breakfast goodie here! I recently discovered this recipe from Bobby Calabrese, and have tried a few different fruit variations. Although this recipe calls for strawberries, you can swap for your favorite fruit–I’ve tried blueberries and might try peach in the future.

I know we’re already two weeks into our 2021 resolutions, but this year I’m determined to be stronger both mentally and physically. And through this determination I want to be a beautiful illustration to my daughter of what it means to embody courage, grace, and love.
