These healthy, sugar-free zucchini breakfast muffins are the softest, moistest, and most delicious I've ever had. The optional brown sugar topping gives them a great crunch. They can even be turned paleo with a few substitutions. Seriously, they're so good that I created an Allrecipes account just to share them.

Mushroom, Scallion, and Cheese Omelet
I love omelets! So easy and nutritious, with protein and a handful of veggies. This one keeps it simple but still tasty with hearty mushrooms and onions.
Easy Apple Cider
This apple cider recipe is super easy to make. I used to buy the spices already mixed at the grocery store, and they stopped carrying them, so I just made my own. Great for a shower or get-together, and the slow cooker keeps it warm so guests can enjoy it through the night! Serve with a slice of orange, and add spiced rum, if desired.
