Breakfast Cookies Recipe

I’m forever on the hunt for healthy things my toddler will eat. Whenever possible, I like to make things at home as opposed to buying them so I can control the quality of ingredients. The less additives, the better! Breakfast seems to be the most challenging meal for me be creative with. I’m a working […]

Lactation Oatmeal

If you’ve done any research on foods that boost lactation, you’ve probably read that oatmeal is often recommended.  For this reason, I have oatmeal every day for breakfast!  I have a few things I add to it to make it extra “milky,” and I have quite the little system for preparing the oatmeal ahead of […]

My New Favorite Pancake Recipe

Let me tell you about my new favorite pancake recipe.  They’re so flavorful and fluffy, plus there’s all kinds of good stuff in them – whole wheat flour, oats, flax seeds.  There’s no oil, white flour, or sugar.   Compared to plain white pancakes, these are faintly nutty, slightly sweet, slightly salty, and have just the […]

Baked Oatmeal with Strawberries, Bananas, and Chocolate

I saw this recipe on Pinterest a while back, and it just looked so delicious.  Sometimes I need to cook breakfast for a crowd, like when we have family in town, so I am always keeping an eye out for new breakfast recipes.  You see a lot of breakfast casseroles that have eggs, meat, and […]
