Your New Favorite Healthy Breakfast

Eggs & toast just got a whole lot better with the addition of one surprising ingredient– Chobani yogurt

When I really want to get my day off on a healthy foot, I make it a point to eat eggs for breakfasts. They’re high in protein, keep me full until lunch, and are super easy to make. My go-to recipe is generally some sort of egg white frittata (think quiche without the crust). I can make one Sunday night and have a healthy breakfast to eat all week long.

I’ve been on this routine now for a few years and am always thinking of ways to mix up my ingredients to keep things interesting. Usually it’s a seasonal veggie, a topping like salsa or tomato sauce, or a low-fat meat that gets subbed in. However, I just discovered a fantastic new trick that takes this dish to a whole new level.

National Cupcake Day + Sprinkles GIVEAWAY!

Our leading ladies share their favorite cupcakes, plus a chance to win a $20 Sprinkles giftcard!

My sisters and I baked cupcakes regularly together growing up (never mind that they were generally of the boxed variety). My affinity for cupcakes meant endless gifts of cupcake-icon gifts: a belt, a tank top, luggage tag, rain boots, and not one but two cupcake deliveries for my birthday last year. Needless to say, when Sprinkles opened its doors I jumped on that cupcake bakery bandwagon real quick. It was one of the first stops on my list to visit when I moved to Los Angeles, and I’ve been a fan ever since. Sprinkles put cupcakes on the map, and many have followed to continue the movement of one of the best baked inventions.

To celebrate National Cupcake Day, read on to find out where our leading ladies across the country turn to curb their cupcake appetite… plus don’t miss your chance to win one of three $20 giftcards to Sprinkles!
