Spinach scrambled eggs might not sound like an ideal breakfast for some. Not everyone is used to veggies for breakfast. But I promise, it's worth a try-- it really is so good and so good for you! As a busy homeschool mom, it is easy for me to just get up and start running without thinking twice about breakfast. But when I make bad breakfast choices, I can really feel it throughout the day. I start getting sluggish and lack mental clarity. Because of this, I've started trying to be a little bit more intentional about what I'm eating for breakfast. When I carefully choose our breakfast, I notice a difference in my ...Read More

On busy mornings, breakfast often drops in priority. Instead of filling up your kiddos with a nutritious breakfast (like these gluten-free mini breakfast pizzas!), you might turn to an easy, no-prep breakfast like toast or cereal. While these may stave their hunger for the moment, they aren't the best for helping your kid's brains and bodies be ready for the day. So, although it may take more effort to make something for your kids (or have them make it themselves), it really is the best thing for them. Today, I'm going to share with you a recipe that has swiftly become a breakfast favorite in our home. They are ...Read More

These carrot cake fritter pancakes are nourishing and delicious and make the perfect breakfast. Confession: I ate cereal for breakfast for over 30 years. I didn’t know any better. It was what my parents gave me, and they wouldn’t steer me wrong. Right? Not so right. Although I was really intelligent and referred to as the “model student,” I had a lot of health problems growing up in addition to being a stressed out mess most of the time. Knowing what I know now about nutrition, I always wonder what would have happened had my parents fed me some real brain food in the morning. You know—something much more ...Read More

I just love pancakes. This grain-free sweet potato pancake recipe is the best comfort food and the perfect delicious way to enjoy a Saturday brunch. When I am pregnant, pancakes have been one of the comfort foods I frequently long for. Those cravings are for real—what everyone says about pregnancy cravings is true. Listen to those who tell you about pregnancy cravings (just don’t listen when Grandma Janie tells you that holding a black cat will steal away your baby's soul). Though, now that I am thinking about it, when hasn’t there been a Saturday morning that I haven’t wanted pancakes—pregnant or not? I certainly ...Read More

This Spinach and Goat Cheese Egg Muffins are the perfect nutrient-dense make-ahead breakfast option for busy families. They taste great even when reheated and the whole family will love them. Breakfast is a huge challenge during the school year. I want my husband and kids to eat a hot, nutritious breakfast. But with one child leaving at 7:00, one child leaving at 7:30, a husband leaving at 7:45, and the last child leaving at 8:30, sitting down together for a hot breakfast isn’t a feasible option. Furthermore, cooking breakfast for my youngest, who leaves at 7:00, would mean I’d have to get up awfully early. It’s ...Read More

This grain-free Cranberry Walnut Granola cereal is a delicious breakfast for a nutritional boost to start my day. When I first made the commitment to less processed food and more real food, breakfast was one of the hardest meals to wrap my mind around. I grew up on boxes and boxes of cereal for breakfast, so the thought of cooking breakfast every day was very overwhelming to me. I eventually grew to love real-food, hot breakfasts, but it is still nice to enjoy a super easy bowl of cereal once or twice a week. Why I Love Making This Cranberry Walnut Granola Cereal The beauty of making your own granola cereal is ...Read More
