Breakfast

I may or may not have mentioned before that breakfast is hands down, no contest, my favorite meal of the day! If it came down to it, I would gladly eat breakfast foods every meal every day for the rest of my life. No shame! I think that’s why I love these adorable breakfast to-go jars so much. They’re perfect for prepping at the beginning of the week to bring with you to work, sending along in a kid’s lunchbox or for offering overnight houseguests in the morning before they hit the road. You can spoon yogurt (I prefer plain Greek yogurt, but obviously any flavor will work) into the jars on Sunday and bag up all the granola at the same time. I used simple, inexpensive cello bags from the candy aisle Michaels and sealed them with a piece of washi tape. For the kids or guests, you can write cute little sayings on tags and tie them on with baker’s twine for an extra sweet touch. Add fruit, cute spoons and napkins from Sugar & Cloth, and you have hands down the easiest, yummiest breakfast for on the go or on the road!

I’ve been in such a weird food rut lately, which isn’t very typical for me and I’m starting to feel it. At the moment I’ve basically been opting for some variation of avocado toast (generally on naan bread) as often as seems reasonable, because I’m just so bored with everything else. I love to cook, but behind the scenes I’ve been juggling a lot of huge projects (that I really really hope I can share with you in the coming weeks) so I’ve been eating on the fly more often. Frankly, I usually devote most of the food prep time to making meals for Em and then I just grab whatever is handy. This week I am planning to stock up on a bunch of fruit, frozen and fresh, so I can start working more smoothies into the routine.

I’ve been a little bored with breakfast lately, which is never a good thing for me. I don’t know about you, but if I start the day with a healthful, nutrient dense breakfast that is super satisfying, I am way more likely to reinforce that behavior by making good choices throughout the day. So when …

Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a great weekend. Today we’re starting the week with a yummy, nutrient-packed breakfast that doesn’t skimp on flavor. My favorite. Following up on the chocolate banana peanut butter smoothie I shared a couple weeks ago, today I’m bringing you my other favorite smoothie recipe – a chocolate berry …

As a kid I had zero interest in savory breakfast foods. Now I’m an egg lover through and through, but as a kid I always opted for big fat Belgian waffles covered in a heap of fresh fruit whenever we ate out. All to say, despite my current obsession with poached eggs and eggs in …

I’m a big believer in celebrating little every day moments. I like to take any excuse I get to make something special and do just that. So, when I recently discovered 365 Days of Breakfast, I fell immediately in love. A celebration of breakfast. Something so simple and yet, I’m finding, so very special. Beautiful …

There is something about breakfast that I just love. Do you know those people? The ones who say they hate breakfast and refuse to eat it? I can’t even imagine what that’s like! If I could only eat one meal a day it would be breakfast, no contest. I love brunch the day after an …
