Pecan Pie In A Mug

I am not a big “pie” person. I’d rather have cake but if I do eat pie, it’s gonna be pecan. That is my absolute favorite. I like the regular old fashion kind. Some people make chocolate pecan pie which is good but the original is still better. 

Cheese cake is my 2nd favorite kind of pie. And yes, I consider cheese cake a pie. It has a crust bottom and eaten like pie. SO, it’s pie. 

The other day I was craving something sweet and realized I had all the ingredients to make a pecan pie but did not want to make a whole pie. That’s when I went on a search for a single serve size. 



This recipe calls for honey instead of Karo Syrup but it did not disappoint. It was delicious and only a couple minutes to throw together and cooked in the microwave. It don’t get any easier than that. 
The recipe can be found HERE.



I used to love to eat those little Bama brand pecan pies from the convenient stores. I still do but I try not to give in. 
Momma made pecan pies for Thanksgiving and I’m sure there will be one on the table at Christmas. She makes the best.

What is you favorite kind of pie?

Air Fryer S’mores Oatmeal

For the past two weeks, I have been doing a smoothie for breakfast. I’m getting tired of it. I like to eat my food, not drink it but I am always looking for healthy meal options. I have also been taking my lunches to work instead of coming home for lunch and pigging out. I have to limit my meals. Portion control is what I have to do if I want to lose weight. It’s not as much about what you eat but how much you eat. 

This morning I wanted to make a solid breakfast for a change. I started making an egg but ended up burning it. I guess I was out of sync. I used to always make an egg. I consider myself an omelet pro and I love my eggs over easy too. We grew up calling it “an egg with a moon on it” Only momma knew what we meant. 

So, since my egg didn’t turn out well, I resorted to a recipe I found for S'mores Oatmeal. I’m not a big fan of s’mores but this was a winner. It was like eating a dessert instead of breakfast. This is still considered “healthy”, It’s easy and can be made in your air fryer within 7 minutes. 



AIR FRYER S’MORES OATMEAL
1/3 Cup Quick Oats
1/2 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
1/4 Teaspoon Baking Powder
1/3 Cup Almond Milk
1/2 Sheet crushed Graham Cracker
Chocolate Chips
1/4 Cup Mini Marshmallows

Mix together, oats, protein powder, baking powder and Almond milk.
Pour into a Ramekin.
Stir in a few of the chocolate chips and marshmallows.
Top with crushed graham crackers, and the rest of the chocolate chips and marshmallows. 
Cook in air fryer at 350 degrees for 7 minutes. 
SPECIAL NOTE: Mash your marshmallows down a little so they do not fly around in the air fryer. 


After I ate breakfast, I went outside and ran/walked 3 miles. So I guess I can say this breakfast wasn’t heavy. But the 20lbs I have put on this year sure was.
