Breakfast

Every once in a while, pancakes just fit the bill for a weekend breakfast.  I’m not much of a carb heavy breakfast lover – I’d opt for protein heavy over carb heavy – but when you’re avoiding gluten, you start to appreciate the carbohydrates that …

Muesli is a cold Swiss cereal that primarily consists of rolled oats.  Traditionally, it’s set to soak in water overnight (hello overnight oats) and is eaten with fresh fruit, nuts, and cream sweetened with honey. This takes a bit more preparation than a typical cold …

Special K with red berries?  Probably one of the best cereals out there, if you ask me!  Store-bought cereals are a special treat.  Growing up, our family had a tradition that every time we went camping, we could pick out a sugar cereal.  Not camping?  …

We definitely prefer a protein-based breakfast.  It just feels like it sticks with you longer than carbohydrates.  But every once in a while, it’s fun to have waffles or pancakes.  While a bit healthier, this is actually our “go-to” waffle recipe because it’s so good!  …
