Quick and Easy Breakfast Ideas

I'm not sure what mornings look like in your house, but around here they can get pretty busy - especially with the kids now back in school.


For me, breakfast is an important meal. I like to start the day off with a mix of protein, fiber, healthy fatsĀ and carbohydrates so that I feel full and have energy to carry me through the morning. I also want something that's quick and easy to prepare!
