Baked oatmeal has been my go-to breakfast for the last month or so. It’s filled with fiber and deliciousness. This Strawberry Peach Baked Oatmeal easily comes together in one bowl and is then baked. It contains strawberries, peaches, banana, coconut (to top), walnuts, eggs, oats, milk. Feel free to get creative and sub in the fruit or nuts of your choice. This is wonderful for meal prep and will stay good for the week. With working out of the house and remotely, I love having my breakfast already made in my fridge. Heat up a piece and set your day up for success (because your stomach won’t be growling!). Strawberry Peach Baked Oatmeal will soon be your favorite meal prepped breakfast!

You’ll Need

• 2 cups rolled oats
• 1 3/4 cups milk (I used lowfat)
• 1 banana 
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 1/8 cup strawberries
• 1 cup peaches (I used frozen)
• 2 tablespoons chia seeds (optional)
• 1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional) 
• 1/4 cup coconut shreds (unsweetened)
• Oil spray or olive oil to grease the pan

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Combine all ingredients in a bowl.

Mix together well. What I like about this recipe is that you mix everything together in one bowl and then pour it into your baking pan. I prefer Pyrex because I can add a lid and store it in it all week. I just cut my piece and then either warm it up and enjoy it or pack it for breakfast on the go. Remember to add a cutlery set!

Pour into a greased baking dish. I sprinkled the coconut on top. Nuts will also taste delicious in the baked oatmeal and on top! I used walnuts for this, but any nut will work.

Bake for 50 minutes or until set. Some people may like to enjoy baked oatmeal like a cake, if you don’t and prefer it more oatmeal-like, baked for a little less time.

This will stay delicious in your fridge for 4-5 days! I store it in my glass pyrex pan that comes with a lid!
I’ve topped this with whipped cream or more cinnamon. Any way, it’s a keeper! Strawberry Peach Baked Oatmeal will instantly become a meal prepping favorite for breakfast.

My husband and I love our coffee (even though we do try to stick to 1-2 cups a day). After owning many coffeemakers over the years, we have found one that we plan on sticking to – Hamilton Beach’s BrewStation 12 Cup Coffeemaker. You can make anything from 1 cup of coffee to 12 cups so easily! You just press the bar to dispense your java when you’re ready to. I’m going to tell you how it works for my family and I’ve got a great giveaway at the end of this post.

My husband is not a fan of a single serve coffeemakers and prefers a drip coffee machine. I’m a little more easygoing, but there just must be coffee. So we found Hamilton Beach’s BrewStation line a few years ago and are very happy. After a little incident with a blown out outlet (our building’s wiring), we needed to replace the BrewStation and we knew exactly what we wanted, another BrewStation. Hamilton Beach graciously provided a sample of the newest version of the BrewStation so we could try it out and see if it was better than the one we previously had. They’ve upgraded it over the one we had and we love this version even more! Every single product we have from Hamilton Beach always works well and we know this is a brand we trust. I think you will love Hamilton Beach’s BrewStation 12 Cup Coffeemaker just as much as we do.

To Use the Hamilton Beach BrewStation 12 Cup Coffeemaker

It’s so simple to use – take out the removable water reservoir and fill how many cups of coffee you want (in 8 oz servings), then open the top part (which is also removable) and put your filter in. Then add your grounds. Turn on the BrewStation and press a button to get your coffee (choose from regular, bold, or 1-4 cups). You can even set it to turn on in the morning! I like that you can use the BOLD setting to get a stronger brew or use the iced coffee setting to make my fave, iced coffee.
With no carafe, you can keep things – no pouring or breaking a glass carafe (I’ve broken several). Also, no burnt coffee flavor. And the best thing? It’s around $54 for this. Score!

Iced Coffee Setting

For the iced coffee setting (which is pretty smart) you only put 6 cups of water in the removable water reservoir, then fill the coffee tank with ice, then place filter in the brew basket (in either a paper filter or a reusable coffee filter). Then add up to 12 scoops of coffee (if you are using 6 cups of water). The filter basket should not touch the ice in the tank. Select Iced Coffee, turn on warming settings to zero. Fill your cup full of ice and then add your newly made iced coffee to your cup. Then thank your coffeemaker for making you be able to function properly.

Features:

• 12 cup dispensing coffeemaker
• No Carafe needed- 12 cup dispenses coffee without a carafe
• The removable water reservoir makes filling easy
• Brews a full 12 cups and dispenses one fresh cup at a time
• Enclosed brewing system with internal heater keeps coffee hot and fresh for up to 4 hours

And if you really want to make a single serving of coffee, Hamilton Beach offers the Scoop Coffeemaker. You can make exactly one cup of coffee.

If you are craving a crazy delicious muffin right now, I’ve got you covered with these WW Strawberry Muffins, which are only 2 WW SmartPoints. You’ll need Pillsbury Sugar Free Vanilla Cake Mix, strawberries, a can of pumpkin puree, some water, and 3 eggs. Read on to see how to make this deliciousness, that will keep you on the plan (I use Blue) and take care of any sweet cravings.

If you would prefer to use another fruit, go ahead! I’ve made this with blueberries and it comes out absolutely delicious. But since I found strawberries in my grocery store this week, I decided to make strawberry muffins. I use the Vanilla Sugar Free Cake mix — find that at either Walmart or any supermarket (look on the bottom shelf in the cake mix section, you should be able to pick it up). You’ll need 2 muffin pans (or be able to wait until the first batch is done before you make a second batch. I like this one.

If you want, you can find the Pillbury sugar free chocolate or vanilla frosting (remember to add points) or melt some chocolate chips and schmear on top. Or even add some fat free whipped cream!

Ingredients:

Vanilla Sugar Free Cake Mix
Pumpkin Puree
3 Eggs
1/2 cup water
2 Cups sliced Strawberries (I cut in small pieces)
Cupcake liners

Instructions:

Add the cake mix to a bowl.
Add in a can of pumpkin puree, eggs and mix well.
Add water slowly. If you want, you can leave it out entirely, but thinning out the batter yielded 24 cupcakes, which makes it 2 WW SmartPoints per muffin.
Add in strawberries. Mix well.

Put in cupcake liners and fill each muffin cup around half-way.

Bake at 325 for 31 minutes, testing with a clean butter knife to make sure that they are done.
These are super super moist, so I like to leave them out to cool and dry out a little.

My frittata recipe has, as I mentioned, only 3 eggs, but it has a variety of veggies, such as onions and leeks that give it lots of flavor. I also use feta cheese so I don’t need to add salt and I get more protein, with very few carbs.

Here are my ingredients.

Chop onion.

Make sure to break the “rings” apart after you chop the leeks.

Cut up the green onion.

Chop the cilantro.

I usually start boiling the water for the spinach before I do anything else. By the time I’m ready to put the spinach in the pot I’m halfway done with the prep work.

After boiling for two minutes I transfer the spinach leaves to a colander and rinse with cold water.

I use old-fashioned oats from Trader Joe’s. You can also use gluten-free oats. Tip: always break eggs in a separate container in case you drop an eggshell.

Be sure to chop the feta cheese well.

Add the spinach at the end.

Using your hands, mix well.

Transfer to oiled cooking pan.

Here’s the frittata – bake for 50 minutes at 375 degrees and then move it to the top rack and bake for 10 more minutes.

Delicious!

Did your breakfasts growing up include Honeycomb cereal? I’m excited to team up with Honeycomb cereal because classics never go out of style and Honeycomb’s big honey flavor and big crunch make it the perfect breakfast or snack option. Honeycomb combines sweetened corn and unique hexagonal shapes with big honey flavor, making it a staple for kids and cereal lovers nationwide. But for Honeycomb, thinking big is not big enough. Honeycomb asked my family and I to join them in thinking as big as they possibly can, by making breakfast “biggerer” than ever before. I’m going to tell you how we’re doing that in this post. Read on… Think Biggerer with Honeycomb Cereal 

This is how breakfast in our house usually works. We decide what we’re serving (usually cereal) and my kids complain and don’t want to eat it. Sound familiar? My kids are super picky and usually everyone wants something different. Even if they’ve picked it out. Frankly, it’s not fun. My kids complain about everything I make. So, we’ve decided to “Think Biggerer” and let them make their own breakfasts from now on. Responsibility is a wonderful thing for kids and I needed to loosen up a little and give them some control. I was a little nervous, but my husband sang the Honeycomb jingle to me and told me that he thought our kids could handle it. My kids are almost 12, 9 1/2, and almost 7, so it’s time to let them own making easy breakfasts. I pulled out Honeycomb cereal, bowls, spoons, milk, and fruit and let THEM make their own breakfast. My contribution was only a couple of fruit smoothies – I can’t let go entirely!

I was nervous that milk was going to go everywhere, but I had to hold my tongue. Luckily they didn’t make a mess. I understand that messes are going to happen with giving kids independence.

You can see from the look on my oldest child’s face that he was totally jazzed with making his own breakfast.

My daughter cut her own banana.

It was a total success.

While my little guy needed help with his cereal (he poured the cereal and I poured the milk), he decided he wanted blueberries and loved adding them himself.

Now that we know that our kids can make their own breakfast (mind you, I will still be supervising), it’s time to think where else we can think big. I think chore charts and bigger allowances are in their future. We do ask our kids to do chores, but I admit I’m inconsistent with it. I think a posted chart may be a help.

My kids really enjoyed Honeycomb cereal. Each spoonful of classic Honeycomb cereal is bursting with honey flavor for a “biggerer” breakfast option.

Honeycomb cereal has:

• Has 8g of whole grain per serving*
• Is an excellent source of vitamin D
• Provides 10 essential vitamins and minerals

Ways Kids Can Think Biggerer

1. Let them make some of their breakfasts and meals – Honeycomb cereal is great for this. If you are nervous for them to pour the milk, pour the milk into a smaller container or cup. Kids can also cut bananas and strawberries with butter knives.
2. Let them lead the way when you go to local parks and neighborhood haunts– this will pave the way for them to go by themselves in the future. My almost 12-year-old is getting his first tastes of freedom now but I’m not ready for him to start going everywhere by himself.
3. Kids can do chores — even little ones. Make a list of what your kids can do to help around the house and when they should do it. We do offer allowance for completed chores and tasks. Right now my almost 12-year-old is helping the most, as he wants the money. He cleans up toys and stuff (my almost 7-year-old is pretty destructive), organizes, and vacuums. My 9 1/2-year-old is starting to help and once in a while, my 7-year-old will help.
4. Thinking Biggerer can almost mean getting muscles bigger. We are trying to motivate our kids to get healthier along with us and we’re teaching them how to workout with YouTube videos and calisthenics.

Things are always super busy with three kids, working, blogging, working out… etc… By the time I get everyone out the door and walk my kids to summer camp, I have to be on my way to start my day. Which means I don’t get to make sure I eat something healthy – I have to make due with what I can pack or what I can pick up on the go. While I would love to sit down and enjoy a leisurely breakfast before the craziness of the day starts, I’m usually grabbing a quick shower and then making sure my 6-year-old son actually puts on clothes and brushes his teeth (it’s a war). So I have to grab what food I can or buy something after everyone’s dropped off. Unfortunately, I don’t always make the best choices and I won’t have the protein I need to fuel my day. I was excited when I was offered the chance to try Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles. With two eggs, cheese, and meat, I can enjoy something delicious and packed with protein on the go. 

Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles contains real eggs, cheese, and meat. Choose from Bacon, Sausage, or Meat Lovers – which has both sausage and bacon. I picked up the Sausage and the Meat Lovers versions at my local Walmart recently. Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles: Sausage offers real eggs, sausage, and cheddar cheese for 22 grams of protein. Jimmy Dean Simple Scrambles: Meat Lovers contains real eggs, sausage, cheddar cheese, and bacon for 23 grams of protein. 

It’s also super easy to make. Inside the package is two items – a container with 2 pre-beaten eggs and a package with meat and cheese. Take both out of the package and then pour the eggs back into the package (it’s a cup). Microwave on high for 45 seconds (the cup and eggs will be hot). Then stir the meat and cheese into the egg mixture and microwave for 30 to 40 more seconds. Let it sit for a minute and then enjoy. I can make this quickly and eat it on the go (just bring a fork and napkins) or pack it in a little cooler and enjoy it when I get to work.

Enjoying Lucky Charms Cereal as our Weekend Breakfast Treat

It all starts with a trip to Walmart to pick up Lucky Charms Cereal. We try to have fun when we grocery shop because it just makes it easier with kids. We sing, we dance around, and yep — we get some looks from other customers. 

Each kid will tell me their favorite marshmallow shape (it changes every week) and we pour a big bowl of Lucky Charms and talk about our week. It’s a moment to enjoy Lucky Charms Cereal, as well as bonding time. No problem seems too big while we sit together and enjoy our Lucky Charms. 
Sometimes I serve their Lucky Charms with toast and orange juice, sometimes I serve it with scrambled eggs, pancakes, or yogurt. It serves as our official weekend kick-off and we try to follow it up by doing something very active as a family, like

It serves as our official weekend kick-off and we try to follow it up by doing something very active as a family, like bike riding or going to the park. Little rituals like having Lucky Charms Cereal together has helped my family enjoy being with each other and I am grateful we found something to start that.

Usually, by the time I open the box, my kids are already at the table, with a big smile. I’m one lucky mama!

Here’s a downloading Whole 30 shopping list that you can print out and take with you. Crazy Together has some ideas for compliant products. 

If you haven’t read the book yet, click below.

Here’s what I’ve been enjoying so far. 

Eggs Over Zoodles:

This was delightfully simple and full of flavor. I spiralized two small zucchini, cut up an onion. I sauteed it with extra virgin olive oil. Then I cracked two eggs and cooked the eggs right over the zoodles and onions. Delicious. 

Scrambled Eggs with Peppers and Onions:

I cut up a green pepper and half an onion. Then I sauteed it with some extra virgin olive oil. Then I scrambled two eggs with a compliant nut milk (I used SoDelicious Unsweetened Coconut Milk – check the labels of every product you buy and avoid nutmillks with Carrageenan and certain other ingredients). 

Spinach, Tomato, and Onion Scramble:

This was a fun one — saute spinach, onions, and grape tomoatoes. Add eggs scrambled in compliant coconut milk and cook it all together.

Turkey Veggie Scramble:

Saute tomatoes, mushrooms, onions, spinach, turkey breast (make sure it’s compliant and doesn’t have Carrageenan) and two eggs (scrambled with compliant coconut milk). 

Kitchen Sink Veggie Scramble:
I took basically every vegetable that I had (broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes) and shredded potatoes and added two eggs scrambled with coconut milk. I used some Whole 30 Compliant Ketchup from Tessemae’s All Natural. If you want to use condiments, make sure they are compliant and are free of sugar, dairy, and gluten. Tessemae’s, which I did some reviews with a few months ago, has a lot of compliant products. Just make sure it’s marked Whole 30. Find Tessemae’s All Natural  on Amazon. 

Sweet Potato Scrambled Eggs:
This is inspired by the Coconut Pumpkin Breakfast Bake I created last year. I took a sweet potato I had cooked into my instant pot the night before and scrambled it into a mixture of eggs and coconut milk. Note: This isn’t sweet, as I didn’t add a date or compliant vanilla extract. Top with berries and some unsweetened shredded coconut if you need some sweetness. 

If you have some time and really want to plan out a week super easily, make an egg bake. I created this one last year and it’s been very popular.

The post 8 Whole 30 Breakfast Ideas with Eggs appeared first on The Mama Maven Blog.

So I am going to challenge you now. How can I help you get healthy with me in 2017? What do you want to see on this blog to help all of us be and STAY healthy? Healthy recipes? Exercises? Reviews of fitness and fitness tech products, along with our other content? Let me know in the comments. 

Here are some top and most viewed healthy recipes that we’ve done in 2016. A lot of them are either for the Instant Pot or Whole 30 Compliant. 

Butternut Squash and Apple Soup (Instant Pot Recipe) is super healthy, absolutely delicious, and Whole 30 Compliant (gluten free, dairy free). Make it vegetarian with vegetable stock, instead of chicken stock. By the way, this was viewed over 6,500 times and shared 2,400 times. 

30 Minute Chicken Soup (Instant Pot Recipe) – I love making chicken soup from scratch. However, my father’s family recipe calls for a minimum cooking time of 3 hours. This working mom just doesn’t have the time. Make it in your Instant Pot in 30 minutes from scratch! 

Chicken Sweet Potato and Kale Soup — there’s a story to this soup. I enjoyed a version of this soup in a restaurant near where I work in Manhattan. It’s gluten-free, healthy, and so delicious!

Clean Eating Beef Stew – I hadn’t had a good beef stew in a long time. I was following the Whole 30 plan when I made it, so it’s gluten-free and Whole 30 Compliant — as well as scrumptious!

Coconut Pumpkin Breakfast Bake – This is Whole 30 Compliant and the perfect thing to make on a Sunday morning and portion out for a week’s breakfast. When I did the Whole 30 I got so sick of eggs (if I can’t add cheese, I don’t like eggs), so I found a post from Daily Rebecca on Whole 30 Breakfast Ideas — she mentioned pumpkin scrambled eggs and then I read a post from Crazy Together on the veggie and sausage egg bake that she makes. A lightbulb went off in my head and I decided to make a pumpkin based egg bake for breakfast. This follows Whole 30 rules and is only sweetened by 2 dates and a banana.

Sweet Potato Berry Breakfast Bake – I was inspired by the recipe above to create this recipe. It’s also Whole 30 Compliant and I think it came out even better than the Coconut Pumpkin Breakfast Bake. 

So let me know your thoughts.

Updated with nutrition info! I’ve been following the Whole 30 Program for over two weeks now and my biggest complaint is not the lack of sugar, alcohol, dairy, soy, or gluten — but that I’m sick of eggs for breakfast. This is even after I found a sugar free Whole 30 Compliant ketchup. So, I did a little searching on the interwebs and found a post from Daily Rebecca on Whole 30 Breakfast Ideas — she mentioned pumpkin scrambled eggs and then I read a post from Crazy Together on the veggie and sausage egg bake that she makes. A lightbulb went off in my head and I decided to make a pumpkin based egg bake for breakfast. This follows Whole 30 rules and is only sweetened by 2 dates and a banana. This is what I came up with.

Ingredients:
10 Eggs
1- 29 ounce can of Pumpkin
2 cups fresh or frozen berries (blueberries and raspberries)
Coconut milk (make sure it’s Whole 30/Paleo compliant) – I did the nutrition analyzer with 1/2 a cup, but use less and see if that works for you. 
2 medijool dates
1 banana
1 tsp cinnamon
Coconut Oil (for coating pan only)
Shredded unsweetened coconut

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Place pumpkin puree in bowl

In a separate bowl, crack 10 eggs.

Add coconut milk to taste (basically like you are making scrambled eggs)

Then add the beaten eggs to the bowl with the pumpkin puree.
Add the mashed banana.

Cut up two dates – make sure you remove the pits first.

Add them to the bowl and then add two dashes of  cinnamon. If you can find Whole 30 Compliant Vanilla Extract, add it (I could not find it).

Pour into a glass 9 x 13 pan (I used coconut oil to grease it).

Add thawed berries to the mixture.

Bake for 30 minutes, add shredded coconut and bake for 45 more minutes (so it needs to bake for a total of 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Cut up into individual servings. I was able to cut this into 8 servings, but if you want bigger pieces, you’ll get 6 servings. Note: This isn’t super sweet, but the berries gave it a nice boost of sweetness. If you need it a little sweeter, top with berries and more shredded coconut.

A reader kindly asked for the nutrition info recently (this post was written in 2016), here’s what I got. Note: I did not count the coconut oil because it was just used to grease the pan. I also wasn’t sure of how much coconut milk I used. I said 1/2 a cup, I’d start by adding 1/2 of that and seeing if you need the full 1/2 cup.

When you are entertaining, you want to have a variety of flavors and spices. Some people can’t get enough of spicy things, some people prefer the sweet. This cheesy cornbread muffins uses both — by using a sweet cheese and a spicy cheese. And it’s gluten free! We used Sincerely, Brigitte cheeses in this.

Sincerely, Brigitte cheeses is made using non-animal sourced microbial rennet and starters and all natural vegetarian ingredients, and they only use premium rBST-free milk sourced from only small Wisconsin dairy farms. The flavors are bold and intense and will spark the curiosity of the most discriminate cheese aficionado. Plus — they have a cheese for literally everyone — every tastebud will be happy.

We recently made a scrumptious zucchini artichoke flatbread with their tomato olive prairie jack cheese and their garlic basil cheese.

To make this recipe, you’ll need any gluten free cornbread mix (I used Trader Joe’s). If you aren’t gluten free, any cornbread mix will do. If you want to make your cornbread from scratch, we found some recipes on yummly for you — http://www.yummly.com/recipes?q=cornbread.

The other day I posted about how I stay energized with ZonePerfect Perfectly Simple bars when I’m constantly on the go.

I’m not a big breakfast person– except on the weekends. I’m usually am omelette or pancakes gal, but I decided to mix things up and make cheesy turkey and pepper hash browns. And the turkey is gluten-free, which makes this entire dish gluten-free!

First, I prepped my ingredients. I used the 2 oz package of Buddig Turkey in this recipe. If you prefer, you can add Old Wisconsin®‘ sausage instead – it’s naturally hardwood-smoked in traditional old-fashioned smokehouses and seasoned with natural spices – every product has a unique and memorable flavor. 

I cut up one russet potato.

Chopped up 1/4 yellow onion, 1/2 a green pepper, one small piece of colby jack cheese and the Buddig Turkey. 

I sauteed the onions and the potatoes first, so they could cook a little more.

Then I added the cheese, turkey, and green pepper. I only added one small serving of Colby Jack – feel free to add more!

And it was delicious!

My family woke up this past weekend craving fresh toast. We had fresh challah, leftover spiced apples from Boston Market, caramel sauce from Stonewall Kitchen, and Blue Diamond Salted Caramel Almonds in the house, so we decided to get our inner chef on.

We took Challah and sliced it into smaller pieces.

We dipped it in a mixture of eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. You can easily make this dairy free by using Almond Breeze Almondmilk (my fave is the vanilla unsweetened).

Next, we added a teaspoon of buttery spread in a pan and heat. Then we added the  soaked pieces of challah and browned them on both sides.

My husband chopped up the Blue Diamond Salted Caramel Almonds. He sliced them with a small pairing knife. If you are making this for a crowd, you can throw it in a food processor to chop the almonds up quicker.

The salted caramel almonds smelled delicious.

Plate the french toast, top with spiced apples, swirl on caramel sauce (if it’s warmed up a little, it will go on easier), and sprinkled Blue Diamond Salted Caramel Almonds on top.

Note:  If you are gluten free, use gluten-free challah or gluten-free bread (I made mine with Udi’s multi-grain bread).

Stonewall Kitchen has won 28 prestigious awards from the Specialty Food Association and the recipient of the coveted Outstanding Product Line Honors three times. Dinner Idea: New England Chicken Stew  

At the Summer Fancy Foods show, Stonewall Kitchen showed off some great holiday sets. Who wouldn’t want to get this as a gift??

As someone who’s newly gluten-free, I was thrilled to see gluten-free mixes. I can whip up delicious treats which I can actually sample myself (a win/win!).

Take a look at what I found at Stonewall Kitchen’s Summer Fancy Foods Show Booth:

After the show, Stonewall Kitchen sent us quite a few goodies. My in-laws have bought the Wild Maine Blueberry Jam for years and it’s so scrumptious.

I made their delicious New England Chicken Stew, which tasted like Chicken Pot Pie.

I made it gluten-free (the only thing I had to change was the flour for making the roux, I added tapioca starch instead). While I did stress a little bit on how to make gluten-free, if you leave any kind of flour or starch out, it will still be delicious.

The New England Chicken Stew Mix contains potatoes, carrots, peas, onions, white beans, celery, yellow pepper, thyme, sage, and other seasonings. The directions are right on the package, which costs $8.95.

I started with gathering together the other ingredients, tapioca flour, chicken broth, coconut oil spread, chicken breast, and pepper. Once the soup was simmering, I sautéed the chicken breast (which I had diced beforehand). Then I added it to my stew and finished the dish. From start to finish, it took around 45 minutes to make. I topped with thawed frozen kale to get more veggies in there. Delish! My kids, husband, and I loved it.

This didn’t yield more than one serving for leftovers, so make a double batch if you want it for two nights. I would definitely purchase New England Chicken Stew Mix as an easy and yummy way to get dinner on the table.

Here’s my take on Veggie Packed Sloppy Joes, using Stonewall Kitchen’s Sloppy Joe Sauce.

Go here or click the photo above for the recipe.

I also loved their Sea Salt Caramel Sauce. I made gluten-free belgian waffle and topped it with Stonewall Kitchen’s Sea Salt Caramel Sauce and Bananas. Delicious!

When you have a little one, breakfasts can be difficult.

So, as a great way to kick off your child’s day, we recommend Plum Organics’ Hello Morning. Made from oats,quinoa, chia and real fruit, we think that this will be a hit.

Since I don’t have babies anymore, I served it to my kids, ages 4, 7, and 9. For a larger portion size I used two packages at once. I felt better about serving this — since it was healthier than most instant hot cereals on the market AND organic. And the taste?

My daughter’s smile tells all.

• 11g of whole grains

I made this for breakfast last week. So delicious! It’s just smashed avocado with a tiny bit of sea salt, right on whole wheat bread. You can also toast this. It was amazing and packed with flavor! If you want to take it with you, add squirt a little lemon on top to prevent browning and place in a sandwich shaped container.

Toast bread.
Smash an avocado.
Add a little sea salt on top and spread onto toast.
