Don't get me wrong, I try to eat healthy like the rest of the world, but sometimes it's just too hard! I am always on the lookout for healthy breakfast recipes. Eating a bagel and cream cheese everyday is really bad for the waistline. I recently came across this amazing sounding recipe on food network and can't wait to get my booty to the store for ingredients. I love carrot cake and I love a quick grab-and-go breakfast! This sounds amazing!
